| After purchasing the vehicle, in sept 2011, i had my truck for only a few weeks and i was driving and hit a small bump and heard as well as felt a loud thump coming from the steering column area, i also noticed my bed was moving a little as well. i brought the truck into the dealership as soon as i heard the issue, but the dealership said they didnt hear or feel anything. now when i hit any bump (big/small) i can literally see the bed on my truck move in my side mirrors, the issues are progressing and my truck is still under warranty and i want these issues fixed asap, esp since its still under warranty . extremely harsh ride, and feeling unsafe to drive, needs to be fixed asap. | |||

| My tacoma has a constant shimmy in the steering wheel. my mechanic and toyota service have tried balancing, alignments and road-force testing, but nothing works to eliminate the shake. it is at it's worst when i first accelerate to cruising speed after the truck has sat for eight hours. at these times it is an approximately a 1/4 inch shimmy in the wheel, and is quite a violent shake. it seems to dissipate after a while, but the shimmy never goes away completely. it exists with both my all-season tires, and my snow tires. | |||
