1995 toyota t100 4x4 sr5, fuel line leak do to rust where attach to frame rail, rust front stabilizer bar broke away from lower control arm.
Front seat belts don't retract. Shoulder belt will loosen up and not stay snug against your body. Is this safe? If I get into an accident there is enough slack to where I can hit the dash. The law says I have to wear them. My state inspection says they have to retract.
Dealer quoted "common problem with fuel line corrosion above tank; not defective part; normal wear and tear; steel line corrodes; repair immediately due to fire hazard." vehicle awaiting repair; not being driven.
Power steering lines are rusted (tubing) to point one is losing fluid. Have had to add fluid. Will have to replace lines (4) before I lose steering .
Fuel leak from metal lines from fuel pump above fuel tank. Fuel lines rusted out, causing leak. Fuel leaked out overnight onto garage floor. Fortunately no fire resulted when the garage door opener was used before the fuel was spotted.
As a result the cab of the vehicle was filled with smoke and gas which made breathing difficult for the driver. The drive also sustained bruises.
Clutch pedal bracket cracked. Failure of bracket caused loss of ability to change gears or restart vehicle.
Vehicle had a flat. Took jack out to fix flat tire. The jack was not able to lift vehicle high enough to change the tire. Was informed by the toyota dealership & manufacturer that the jack was the correct one for the t1000.
