Little things like passenger side power mirror not working, windsheild wipers not going down all the way 95% of the time and really bad axle wrap due to a dry slip yoke. I was gonna wait till the warrenty got closer to ending since I dont have time to goto the Toyota dealership (45min) in the middle of the day every month to have something else fixed.
oh and a worn out ball joint isnt gonna kill anyone. well unless the problem is a lot more severe then someone mentioned in a previous post. So you cant really compare this to Fords recall, like Toyota is decending from heaven to repair a million death traps, cause they arent.

But this thread is about Toyota's not about personal attacks toward other forum member so if you have a problem with me, PM me dont bring it into this thread? OK?
Also grow up a little and watch your mouth this is a family forum. If somehow my truck breaking down bothers you so much you need to make a point of making a post about it at least post it in an appropriate forum. Which this forum doesnt provide so go somewhere else.

If the word "constantly" to you means one post then I appoligize for that too. As a matter of fact if you can find ONE other thread I started that even MENTIONS my wipers, mirrors or axle wrap then I'll paypal you 100 bucks.

I'm sure those where interesting and helpful post. Feel free to grow up and realize that I dont care what youre saying. I wouldnt think anyone else looking at recall information cares too much about whatever it is youre going on about either.

I got a little more information about the company that makes the ball joints. This company, who ever it is also make ball joints for Ford and some other company (can't remember there name). Toyota got the shaft on this deal. Ford is doing a silent recall on all this problem. So its not just Toyota having a problem.
Well, it's time to go to bed.
Hope the information I provided was helpfull.

But then again those were 1999 upper ball joints. Which would not be part of this recall.

As a former Toy tech I will advise you all, Toy definetly takes care of there customers, no sh**! I remember the HG recalls on the 3.0, rental cars..! The Terdcel, again rental cars! I have a Tacoma under the recall, will they take care of my a**! you bet ya! I know the ins and out of this business! Damn, it was 6 vehicles that they found these bad BJ on, now Toyota is going all out on a full recall! That's Customer service and PR! That's why Toyota is gaining on GM and Ford! Hey, I love it! If Toyota has a problem they fix it within the year, a lesson they learned from the 3.0 HG recall!True story ladies and Gents! I will sign off, I love my TACO!

Thank you!!!
I got a little more information. This is not an offical recall, recalls are given out by the goverment, this is a Speical Servise Campane. So that means it is Toyota doing this, not a goverment mandate. That's all I got for now!

Or those that have had their replacement head gaskets also fail!!!
P.S. I did not get a loaner car when my headgasket was replaced. I asked but they said only if it took more than one day which it did not.
