Dear sir or ms, i filed a written complaint and sent my complaint to you on or about concerning what happened to me while i was sitting and waiting in the right lane, the feeder lane, off of beltway 8, for the light to change, in pasadena, texas on 12/24/08. I was in my 1998 small toyota truck and there was a 30 ton garbage truck 2 car lengths in front of me and the garbage truck driver started moving back and forth trying to get an angle to get perpendiculor, using the size of the 30 ton garbage truck and forcing or, in my opinion, bullying the smaller cars in the left hand lane with the size of the 30 ton garbage truck between the cars in the left lane and move into the left lane. I tried to move into the vacant lot to my right, go over the curb into the vacant lot to my right to get out of the 30 ton garbage truck's was because no matter how i honked my horn at the erratic driver of the 30 ton garbage truck, he kept getting closer to me while he was moving back and forth trying to change lanes. Due to the toyota's floor mat rolling up under my brake and gas pedal i could not move and the toyota's floor mat had rolled up under my brake and accelerator pedals and would not allow me to move my truck and avoid the 30 ton garbage truck that backed up on me and caused me brain and severe spinal injuries which will require 9 endoscopic laser surgeries at the bonita springs institute in tampa, florida. No nuerosurgeon in houston, texas i went to would attempt to perform my spinal surgeries. What hapened to a reply from you? I am waiting on my insurance company to okay my surgeries, on a walker, becoming a parapelic, medication i hate which doesn't stop the spinal pain. I need to know how to get in touch with the toyota car company. Answer my question. I don't believe the answers toyota stated and my dealership will not talk to me. *tr

My 1998 toyota tacoma is experienced extreme rust/rot on the frame that would be unexpected for this year vehicle. I have not had an incident yet causing injury, or property damage but am very concerned that it is inevitable. So far i have done nothing to correct the problem but i am looking into it. *ak

My toyota 4 runner has 100000 miles and i am having my rotors turned for the third time. They warp after about 5000 miles and then i just put up with it for another 25 or 30 thousand miles until i can't stand the bumping any longer and have them turned again. It appears that they are not substantial enough for the weight of the vehicle or the abs system may be causing some sort of pulsed drag that causes uneven drag and warpage. *nlm
