2000 Toyota Tundra. Consumer states sudden failure in steering due to link failure the power steering unit leaked fluid out of a hole that rusted in the case.
The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Tundra. The contact was having problems with the front and rear brakes. He did research and found technical service bulletins (tsbs),tsbbr00402 and tsbbr00403. The pro brakes were not holding and vibrating. This made the stopping of the vehicle seem dangerous. He contacted the dealership, and they told him to bring vehicle in for service, and has currently not done so. He contacted the manufacturer, and they told him that they were not going to do anything about the problem because it was a wear and tear. The vehicle only has 29,000 miles on it. This occurred at freeway speeds, and at hard braking. The tsbs stated that the brakes may not grab, causing the front rotors to overheat and warp. There was a recall 05V225000 on the 2002 Toyota Tundra for a lower ball joints. Also, steering was hard, and when turning the steering wheel it made a pounding sound. The contact has been having brake problems for about three years, and T front suspension problem for about two months. Updated 11/29/05.
