Description of the problem	(toyota going places) on wednesdays february 5, 2014 about 5:30pm , i was driving my 2006 toyota tundra to work. As i was making a right-hand turn onto i-95 south, the front left-hand side of my truck collapsed. To my surprise the ball joints head separated from the suspension, the left bottom front suspension was dragging the highway and the left front wheel was now stuck under the running board. This accident also damaged the left front bumper, the left front fender and the left front door. Needless to say i was traumatized. I saw no warning that this accident was about to happen. I kept my truck in immaculate condition and had regularly maintenance done at this toyota dealership. We decided to do a search on the web to see if any recalls existed and there is a recall on the 2006 toyota tundra for this exact issue. However when i called toyota corporate and provided my vin number - low and behold my truck was not in that recall (my vin# missed it by 15 days). The toyota representative asked me to take my truck to the local toyota dealership and get a written estimate. At my own expense, i had the truck towed and after about two days my repair expenses were denied by toyota. However, i was offered $750 toward the purchase of a new toyota for being a loyal customer. I purchased three new vehicles from this toyota dealership (2006, 2007, & 2008). After fighting with the dealership and toyota corporate for a day and half, i was asked to move my truck out of their shop. So at my expense my 2006 tundra was towed back to my house (toyota going places). Without exaggeration, a lot of people are going to get hurt if fatalities do not occur due to this defect. Toyota need another recall. Toyota going places - if the ball joints don't fall out sincerely yours, 06 toyota tundra owner

What is Failure?
