“Wheel bearings and hub assembly: soon after I took my truck to a Toyota dealership to have the rear leaf springs replaced under a recall, the truck started riding rough and squeaking loudly as it was driven. I went back to the same dealership and they quoted me near $2,000 to replace. The truck seems to ride rougher with each passing day. …”
NHTSA complaint #10903844, filed 2016-09, 90,000 miles“At 59,500 miles the left front wheel bearing started making a lot of noise and vibration and noticeably altered the steering. The wheel bearing was replaced under warranty. Now at 90,000 miles the bearing is faulty again and Toyota refuses to fix it again. I took it to my mechanic who told me that he sees a lot of failed wheel bearings on the tacomas. A failed bearing can result in the wheel locking up or falling off at highway speeds.”
