Front and rear mud flaps tear loose and beat side of vehicle as they do not completely separate when this happens. On the front at highway speed driver will hear very loud noise from banging on side of vehicle. When this occurs on the rear passenger side the flap will contact the exhaust pipe and burn the plastic.if someone is traveling at highway speed this could lead to a fire in the rear wheel well. My front passenger side broke around 20 June 2008 two weeks later 3 July 2008 drivers side broke, yesterday 7 Aug 2008 I noticed the rear passenger was broken and had contacted the exhaust pipe causing it to melt.

Vehicle 2006 Toyota Tacoma with towing package factory installed. While loading a 450 lb motorcycle into the bed of a 2006 Toyota Tacoma, using a motorcycle ramp, the tailgate completely collapsed by bending into a U shape in the middle causing the motorcycle to come falling down and injury two persons that were loading the motorcycle. All weight limits were checked in the owner manual before loading and the same motorcycle had been loaded into 3 other trucks of same size before with no incidents. I believe that the tailgate of this particular vehicle is unsafe and someone could be seriously injured or death could have occurred in this situation.
