H2 Video: Ouch! Tie Rod Snap

[Buckeye Hummer]

Here is a quality story for Tacomas from Consumer Affairs:

On 6/7/02 I was in an accident. I was driving 2002 TACOMA TRD 4X4 EXTRA CAB TOYOTA PICK-UP.I was hit head-on both going under 30 miles per hour. My air bags deployed but my thottle stuck open. The truck continued to run and pushed the heavier 80`s full-size truck back out of the way, then my truck jumped a 10-12 inch curb, then hit a large tree.

Even after hitting the tree the truck was still running, wheels spinning into the lawn. It was not til I reached down and turned the key off did the engine stop.

I suffered not one impact but two, as the tree was involved and the air bags had begun to deflate. I was in the hospital for two days on oxygen for one month and missed work for that month, as well as the broken ribs and bruised lung and chest walls. If the throttle had not stuck open I don`t feel I would have been hurt so much.
