Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was driving on the road in my 2004 Toyota Tacoma when I saw my tire go rolling ahead of my vehicle, the truck leaned over to the left, skidded sideways and then stopped in the middle of the road. I got out of the truck and my tire was in the ditch and my chassis was on the ground on the left side. I called a tow truck and they said it looked like my ball joints just separated. I had the vehicle towed to my mechanic and he said the ball joints looked like they gave way and this allowed the wheel to fall off. …”
