SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
RECEIVED RECALL SSC 70B-FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINT SAFETY RECALL NOTICERE ON OR AROUND 6/07/07. CALLED DEALERSHIP FOR APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE, HEATHER IN SERVICE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD TAKE 3 TO 6 WEEKS FOR THEM TO RECEIVE, AT THAT TIME THEY WOULD CALL ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT. I SAID THAT WAS A LONG TIME TO WAIT AND SHE SAID THEY ONLY GET 5 AT A TIME ONCE A WEEK OR EVERY OTHER WEEK, THAT IT WAS A NATIONAL RECALL. MY POINT WAS THEN SHOULDN'T THERE BE MORE OF THESE PARTS AVAILABLE WITH A SHORTER WAIT TIME. VERY UPSETTING ABOUT THE DELAY IN GETTING THE PART REPLACED, AS IT SEEMS ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE A POSSIBLITY OF A CRASH MAY OCCUR DO TO THE DEFECTIVE PART. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH A BRAKING PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD A VIBRATION IN THE TRUCK WHEN BREAKING SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE ATTENTION OF THE TWO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERS, THEY BOTH SAID THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. I JUST RECENTLY REPLACED THE BRAKES AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED. THIS DID NOT HELP. IT STILL VIBRATES AND THE BRAKES ARE SPONGY. I AGAIN TALKED TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY FINALLY SAID THAT THEY NEW THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. OF COURSE THEY TOLD ME THIS AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER POSTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE, I BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION IS IN ORDER.

EQUIPMENT, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
SINCE DAY ONE THAT I HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK I HAVE COMPLAINED THAT THE BRAKES DON'T SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AS IT SHOULD. THAT YOU HAVE TO PUMP IT AT LEAST ONE TIME FOR THEM TO ACT NORMAL WHEN SLOWING DOWN. SOME TIMES IT IS OVER HALF WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE YOU STOP. AND THAT IS WITH OUT PULLING A LOAD. WHEN I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP (JAY WOLFE TOYOTA OF K.C) WAS TOLD THAT "IT WAS MAGIC BRAKES" , I HAVE HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DAYS OF OLD WHERE YOU GIVE IT A PUMP THEN IT WORKS. I HAVE ALMOST REAR ENDED SEVERAL PEOPLE. THESE BRAKES ARE DANGEROUS. AND I PAID $50,000. FOR THAT. THEY DID NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT MAYBE I NEEDED TO GET USE TO THE TRUCK. *TR
