What owners wrote
My 2006 tundra truck lost control while driving on the highway on 9/11/2006. It happened very suddenly. My truck rolled over a couple times and stopped upside down in the highway. My truck was all damaged due to the steering problem. Now I can't use it anymore.
The vehicle has not been in a accident as far as I know and I bought it new with approximately 15 miles on the odometer. I am the only owner. Since the day I drove it off the lot there has been a slight to severe shimmy in the steering wheel. Every time I brought it in they would balance the wheels and add half a wheel circumference of lead to one or more of the wheels. Two different service departments have told me there is nothing they can do it is what it is.
