| Description of the problem | This is a second compliant. The first compliant did not have the correct home address. The p. O. Box is my mailing address. On 2/24/06 antioch toyota delivered a 2004 toyota tundra to my home. The first compliant number is #10169458 most of the info is the same accept the address to where the car is located. The suspension:front control arm lower ball joint broke and the axle on my truck snapped and broke. The truck was towed to almaden toyota in san jose ca and that is where it is now. I called toyota and they told me today that this truck was not one that was recalled according to their records, but they will have someone come out and inspect the truck. How did it break if the part was not bad? The recall does not list vin numbers that are affected by this recall, only model names: 2004 toyota tundra and my truck is a 4dr double cab limited rwd sb (4. 7l 8 cyl 4a). It seems to me they are trying to get out of repairing/replacing my truck when the axle broke while driving it to work. *jb |
