1995 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

YES I WROTE AWHILE BACK ABOUT MY BALL JOINT SNAPPING IN HALF GOING 55. IT WAS THE LOWER ONE BUT IT WASN'T WHERE THE BALL JOINT WAS IT WAS THE METAL PART ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF FROM WHERE THE BALL JOINT WAS. DUE TO RUST. THE MAN WHOM I FINALLY FOUND WHO BOUGHT IT NEW SAID HE NEVER RECEIVED ANY KIND OF NOTICE ABOUT THE RUST ON THE VEHICLE.

YES I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA TACOMA ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 55MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE. THIS CAUSED MY SHUT TO SNAP IN HALF ALSO CAUSED THE CONTROL ARM TO BREAK. WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SO BAD HAD THE TRUCK NOT BEEN SO RUSTY. NOW FACING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM BEING COVERED IN RUST. AND THE LEAF SPRINGS ARE ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING OFF THE FRAME DUE TO RUST. THE PERSON I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM SAID HE HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANY KIND OF NOTICE OF THE RUST RECALL. SEEMS KINDA FUNNY TO ME ONLY 25% OF THE OWNERS OF TOYOTAS WERE NOTIFIED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE RUST ISSUE. THANK GOD IM STILL ALIVE. HE IS THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME. I WILL DIG OUT ALL OF MY RECEIPTS AND ULAD THEM VERY SOON.

APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS AGO 125K MILES LOWER BALL JOINT FAILURE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEPARATION. 11/11/18 APPROXIMATELY 250K MILES LEFT DRIVER'S SIDE BALL JOINT SEPARATION. TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. IF I HAD BEEN AT HIGH SPPED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED.

WE BOUGHT OUR 1995 TOYOTA AND HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALLS,OUR TRUCK HAS ONLY 60,000 MILES

TOYOTA TACOMA 1995 BODY IS RUSTING AWAY, FRAME IS RUSTING AWAY. EVERYTHING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK HAS RUST ON IT THERE IS A HOLE IN THE FLOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MUFFLER HAD TO GET REPLACED. BREAK LINES HAD TO GET REPLACED DUE TO RUSTING.
