This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Front suspension lower ball joint failed while in operation. Resulting in separation from the knuckle, causing a collapse in the suspension and loss of steering control while driving. The collapse happened in traffic and caused other damage to the vehicle including drive shaft and tire damage.
At speeds over 45, front end vibrates badly and is hard to control. I have replaced the tires which worked until the tires had 5000 miles of them, balanced tires, and had front end alignments. The Toyota dealership is aware of the problem, but cannot come up with a solution to correct the problem. I know of other Tacoma owners with similar problems.( dot number: Tire size: 31X10.5 15 )
1. front wheel alignment shifts under load(in spec) as much as 1/4 in. This toe out causes excessive and dangerous tire wear. Tires came apart after 3000 mi. The vehicle is hard to control with toe out of this magnitude. I have to get the alignment done with a load in the truck to be able to safely steer it and get some respectable tire wear. God save an unsuspecting driver! 2. rear springs bottom out "hard" causing the vehicle to jump. The rear spring bumper to axle housing space is 1 in. (with load). Toyota says "don't load it, it's not really a truck! these two items make this vehicle tricky to drive and is setting drivers up for a real road test.
