| Description of the problem | This is still a problem........ Since the original 70b recall. I was backing into the driveway when the left front ball joint failed. My son and i had just come off of the highway. My tire was nearly off the truck and it jammed into the left front quarter panel, i could not exit the driver side door. The nut came off and was on the ground, the cotter pin was no where to be found. I took my vehicle to the dealership and of course they would not may for this repair. I cannot understand what this defect has not been part of a mass recall by toyota motors. This is still a problem and potential danger. |
