What owners report
I HAVE HAD 3 TOYO TIRES BUBBLE AND SEPARATE IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS AND TOYO WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I FEEL THAT THEIR TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND NEED TO BE TESTED.
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN GOING TO STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL GIVES RESISTANCE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS GRINDING OF METAL, AND THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP INSTEAD IT SLOWS DOWN UNTIL IT REACHES THE STOP. I HAVE REPLACED THE WHOLE BRAKING SYSTEM YET THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM VERY SIMILAR TO THE RECALL MADE ON THE 1998 ISUZU RODEO.
BETWEEN 96,000 AND 97000 MILES, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN 3 TIMES, AS IF SOMEONE HAD TURNED THE KEY OFF. FIRST TIME TURNING A CORNER. TWO OTHER TIMES, WHILE DRIVING 45 AND 60MPH. NO CONTROL OVER VEHICLE. VERY LUCKY NOBODY NEAR ME, OR SOMEONE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. PROBLEM FIXED, BY BUTITTA AUTO 6765 MILL ROAD, ROCKFORD, IL 61108 IGNITION MODULE HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED. *TR
