Description of the problem	There was no event leading up to failure. This was totally unsuspected. The failure i experience in my 2004 toyota tundra occurred as i was turning from a small street to a major street. As i was making this turn, the driver's side wheeled separated from the ball joint causing me to lose control of the vehicle. As i lost control of the vehicle the tire became lodged in the wheel well causing my driver's side door to become jammed. I was not able to exit the vehicle using this door. As of now, the truck is still in the parking lot at the dealer being held up by a wood block. I was told by the repair department that the parts will not be in for a few weeks. Toyota corp has not yet confirmed or denied responsibility, although i was given a case number for my claim. I was able to obtain a loaner vehicle from the dealership at no cost to me (yet), but it was like pulling teeth!!! *nm
