SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
MY DRIVER SIDE MIRROR IS HARD TO FOCUS AND I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND I AM IN DANGER BY DRIVING A TRUCK WITHOUT THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR, SO FAR I WAS GOING TO HAVE TWO ACCIDENTS. I ALSO ASKED SOME PEOPLE TO DRIVE MY NEW TRUCK TO SEE THE MIRROR, INCASE I WAS WRONG, THEY DID AND FOUND OUT THAT THE MIRROR IS DEFECTIVE. ABOUT TEN PEOPLE TESTED THE MIRROR AND SAID THE SAME THING. THAT SHOULD SHOW THAT IT'S NOT JUST ME. PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM EITHER BY HAVING GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS LOOK AT THE MIRROR OR IN SOME OTHER WAY. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
TOYOTA STATES IT'S GOODYEARS' PROBLEM AND GOODYEAR STATES IT'S TOYOTA'S PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE A YOYO. MY PROBLEM STARTS AT 60MPH WHERE THERE IS A VIBRATION ON THE FRONT END. THE VIBRATION GETS WORSE AT 75 AND THEN SMOOTHS OUT AROUND 83. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO COBB COUNTY TOYOTA ,AND JESSE, A SERVICE ADVISOR, TOLD ME THAT MY TIRE WAS 42LBS. OF ROAD FORCE - - - WAY OUT OF SPECS...... NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. JESSE ADVISED ME TO NOTIFY A GOODYEAR TIRE STORE BECAUSE IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. SO I NOTIFIED TIREQUEST GOODYEAR TIRE STORE IN CARTSVILLE GA. KALVIN, STORE MANAGER, SAID THAT IS A DEALER (TOYOTA) PROBLEM. TIREQUEST BALANCED THE TIRE THE BEST THEY COULD. I CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ON 4/21/2000 I CALLED GOODYEARS 1-800-321-2136 CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE , REF#3888832, SUSAN. SHE CALLED A GOODYEAR DEALER IN DALTON AND TALKED WITH MATT ACKLEN STORE MANAGER AT GOODYEAR BRYMAN'S PLAZA NORTH. HE WAS VERY HELPFUL AND TOLD ME THE WHEEL WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM NOT THE TIRE. I WENT BACK TO TOYOTA ON 4/21/2000 AND JESSE STATED IT WAS THE TIRE AND GOODYEAR SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH EITHER COMPANY AND AM VERY FRUSTRATED. I HAVE SPENT OVER $70 ON BALANCE AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT PLUS TRAVEL AND TIME. FURTHERMORE I'M BACK WHERE I STARTED. BOTH COMPANIES ARE STATING THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE AND THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN THE OTHER COMPANIES PRODUCT. I DO NOT KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS. IS THERE ANY DEFECTS YOU ARE AWARE OF ON THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER GSA 31X10.50R 15LT? OR ON THE TOYOTA TACOMA PRERUNNER TRD PACKAGE 15 INCH RIM? *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 31X10.50R )

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE SITTING IN DRIVEWAY FOR TWO HOURS AFTER LAST USE. FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED WITH EXTINGUISHER. SPORT CITY TOYOTA WOULD NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE ON TRADE UNTIL AFTER A LETTER FROM GULF STATE TOYOTA DECLARED THERE WAS NO FIRE. DETERMINATION WAS MADE BY TEIR INSPECTOR. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SPORT CITY WAS AWARE OF THE FIRE. SPORT CITY WOULD NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE ON TRADE DUE TO CONCERNS OF ASSUMING LIABILITY. TOYTA NATIONAL REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THERE WAS A FIRE. TRADED THE TRUCK AT A DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (FOWLER TOYOTA). FIRST APPRAISAL FORM NOTED THE TRUCK HAD BEEN ON FIRE. THAT FORM WAS DESTROYED AND NEW ONE WAS ISSUED WITH NO MENTION OF THE FIRE. TOYOTA AND ITS DEALERSHIPS HAVE DONE THEIR VERY BEST TO COVER THIS UP. I WILL BE PURSUING OTHER AVENUES TO RECOVER MY LOSSES. *AK
