SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
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

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON SR 73 IN CALIFORNIA AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THE RIGHT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT ON MY 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA SNAPPED, WHICH CAUSED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL TO FOLD UNDER THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. I LOST CONTROL MOMENTARILY, BUT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND GUIDE THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE BALL JOINT FAILURE ALSO SEVERED THE BRAKE LINES, LEAVING ME WITH NO STOPPING ABILITY. I RESORTED TO THE MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE TO STOP MY TRUCK. MY 2004 TUNDRA WAS TOWED TO LONGO TOYOTA IN EL MONTE CALIFORNIA WHERE IT SITS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE HQ, BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY TUNDRA WAS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE 775,000 OTHER TUNDRAS THAT WERE RECALLED FOR FAULTY LOWER BALL JOINTS. AS OF THIS TIME, THE DEFECTIVE PARTS ARE STILL ON THE VEHICLE AT LONGO. *NM
