T100 4-cyl

  • 226,000 miles
I was returning from a short trip and the driver's side control arm broke while traveling down the road at approx. 35 mph. The frame, body and steering components are all riddled with rust. I have replaced numerous parts that had failed due to rust, including a fuel pump whose design trapped moisture and road salt on top of the fuel tank until fuel was leaking on the roadway. The rear bumper rusted off. Toyota trucks of similar type and year have been recalled because of similar problems, but not the 1996 T100. Toyota forums are filled with the same issue with this vehicle. I have owned this vehicle since it was brand new.Toyota will not back this product.

: the contact stated when an independent mechanic worked on the vehicle, there was no evidence of a problem with the steering shaft. Shortly after the repair work, the steering shaft fractured at the pitman arm while driving 4 mph in a parking lot. The service dealer and manufacturer were notified.
