TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 TOYOTA T100. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V389000 (STEERING:LINKAGES:ROD:RELAY:CONNECTING) IN AUGUST OF 2007. HE IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, BUT THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. IN NOVEMBER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT GIVEN THE PARTS TO ANY LOCAL DEALERS AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED AND THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE HAS NOT FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 104,000.

RECALL PART DEFECTIVE IN 1993 TOYOTA T 100 .. WE HAD OUR HEAD GASKET REPLACED DURING THE RECALL AND 40,000 MILES LATER OUR TRUCK IS COMPLETELY DISABLED DUE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM! IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR FOR A PART THAT I SEE BY DOING A SEARCH ONLINE IS BEING REPORTED AS HAVING MANY REPEAT OCCURRENCES WITH CONSUMERS. MY VEHICLE IS WORTH OVER $5000 AT LEAST IF IT RAN THAT IS. THE REPAIR BY THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN DENIED AND CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN USELESS. BOTH BASICALLY SAY ITS MY PROBLEM BUT I FEEL ITS NOT SINCE PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED TOYOTA TRUCKS KNOWN TO HAVE PROBLEM ARE STILL STUCK WITH THIS MAJOR DEFECT ON A PART THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF YOUR VEHICLE. *JB
