2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH A LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL. ON WET PAYMENT, IF BOTH WHEEL SPIN AT THE SAME TIME ( LOOSE TRACTION), THE TRUCK BED WILL KICK LEFT AND PUT THE TRUCK INTO A SPIN. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID THE LSD (LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL) WAS FUNCTIONING. HE ASKED ME WHICH SIDE THE TRUCK KICKED. I TOLD HIM LEFT. THE DEALER HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WITH THIS TRUCK KICKING LEFT. THE DEALER STATED I HAD TO CONTACT TOYOTA MOTOR SALES AND FILE A COMPLAINT. THIS WAS DONE AND I WAS REFEREED TO TOYOTA REGIONAL OFFICE IN FL. I WAS CONTACTED BY THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LSD WAS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY AND THAT TOYOTA HAS NO INTENTION OF FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM NEED TO BE FIXED! *JB
