The vehicle rocks and sways back and forth like it's going go totally out of control at various speeds. It is worst in windy conditions. The dealership has replaced all four shocks and has had the truck on three different occassions. They said they contacted toyota and was told not to do anything else. The dealership acknowledges there is a problem, but will not do anything else under the warranty, because toyota said not to. The vehicle is very unsafe to drive at this time. It is my only means of transportation. I hope that you can please help me. I don't know what else to do. This is my 3rd toyota truck sense 1988. Talking to the service rep and test driving it with one of there mechanics and them all saying there is somthing wrong with the suspenion and also changing the shocks to try and alieviate the problem, but yet refuse to do anymore to fix the problem, is something I don't understand. I hope that you can help me.thank you.
Suspension is defective. Whenever vehicle hits a bump vehicle will rebound twice. Shocks will bounce off of bump, instead of controlling it. It is very dangerous under serious wheather conditions, and can cause consumer to lose control of vehicle.
My driver side mirror is hard to focus and I am writing this because this is very important and I am in danger by driving a truck without the driver side mirror, so far I was going to have two accidents. I also asked some people to drive my new truck to see the mirror, incase I was wrong, they did and found out that the mirror is defective. About ten people tested the mirror and said the same thing. That should show that it's not just me. Please help me solve this problem either by having government engineers look at the mirror or in some other way.
