What owners wrote
Brakes and ball joint failure of toyota tundra lim. 4door 4.7l 8 cylinder 4x4 right side wheel came off and hit two persons on the shoulder of the highway in which one was killed.
Accelerating on an on-ramp to go on the freeway, a massive bump was felt. I lost control of the car using momentum and difficult steering to get me to the side of the freeway. I discovered the wheel was disengaged and was only attached by the brake line. Mechanic inspected the damage and said the ball joint broke off causing the wheel to be disengaged.
