Toyota Tacoma Suspension Safety Report | Jan 20, 2011
Reported on Jan 20, 2011
| MY 2011 TOYOTA TACOMA 7188 IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN WINDY CONDITIONS. AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS (70MPH) IT LOOSES DIRECTIONAL STABILITY DURING WINDY CONDITIONS. MY 2006 TACOMA 7114 WAS SOLID AS A ROCK IN ANY CONDITIONS. I FEEL THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSES WIND TO RAISE THE VEHICLE EVER SO SLIGHT CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVABILITY SITUATION. SADLY I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS AND THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS MY 12TH TOYOTA OF WHICH 6 HAVE BEEN TACOMAS. IT IS MY VERY WORST NIGHTMARE TO DRIVE. I FEAR MY ONLY OPTION IS TO FILE A FORMAL REPORT TO THE NTSB AS THIS A DESIGN FLAW AND CANNOT BE CORRECTED AT ANY DEALERSHIP. [XXX] NOTE THERE IS NO SELECTION FOR A 2011 TACOMA IN THE VEHICLE DESCRIPTION SO I SELECTED A 2010 AS THEY ARE VIRTUALLY THE SAME. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR | |
