This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21E103000 (Steering). The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel made popping and grinding sounds while making turns. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that he needed to pay out-of-pocket for the diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the recall repair would only be performed if the vehicle had had the power steering gear assembly replaced since August 2021, which the vehicle had not. The failure mileage was approximately 147,000.
The truck shakes really bad causing me to not be able to drive past 50 mph. Have had tires replaced, alignment done, and new brakes. Have also had tires balanced. Still shakes.
While turning, you hit a hard spot every half turn. When turning from an intersection the steering wheel has to be turned back to the center position due to a hard spot. Dealer stats rack is bad but can offer no reason as to why. Vehicles has 70,000 and had not had any events with teh front wheels to cause any damage to steering.

Toyota Tundra 2010. Vibration in gas pedal and steering wheel on acceleration or under load around 1800 RPM. Dealer refuses to document the problem per "corporate policy." Have owned two Tundra's prior to the 2010 and did not experience this. I am concerned that there is a defect that Toyota is not acknowledging.
