- More Problems for Toyota as 8,000 Tacoma Trucks Recalled
Toyota as a brand has been taking a beating in recent weeks as a result of several different recalls that have affected millions of vehicles. Problems that include defective accelerator pedals on several Toyota models and braking systems on the Toyota Prius have led to these circumstances. Now comes word that Toyota is issuing yet another recall, and this one centers on 8,000 Toyota Tacoma trucks that are believed to have serious problems with their drive shafts. These developments have led to calls for help to Toyota recall lawyers all over the United States as different problems have affected different sets of consumers.
The Reason for the Toyota Tacoma Truck Recall
Toyota has initiated this latest recall of 8,000 Toyota Tacoma trucks because of a problem with a part in the drive shaft of 2010 Toyota Tacomas. Specifically, this part in the drive shaft has showed a tendency to crack and cause the front drive shaft to separate from the vehicle and fall out altogether. When this occurs, the driver of the vehicle will lose control of the direction of the truck and be placed in a situation of immediate and extreme danger. As is usually the case with defective vehicles, there will be no warning provided for the driver before the defect takes hold and causes potential harm.
All of the affected vehicles are 2010 4-wheel-drive models of the Toyota Tacoma, and the models at issue were manufactured between December of 2009 and February of 2010. Toyota has stated that most of the models in question are already either on dealer lots or further along in the distribution chain that ultimately ends with the consumer. The specific part in question that’s believed to be defective is manufactured by the Dana Corp. Anyone who is driving such a model is advised to stop doing so and to see the nearest Toyota dealer for repairs.
There is no telling how many more, if any, issues will arise with Toyota vehicles. If you or someone you love has been harmed or encountered unreasonable risks as a result of driving a defective Toyota, you need to contact the Toyota recall lawyers at Phillips Law Group as soon as possible to schedule a free initial consultation.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

I enjoy my work day here at Phillips Law Group and generally speaking I love my clients. Every day brings a new client or task to keep me on my toes. Administration keeps open communication and is hilarious most of the time! I love the way we celebrate FRIDAY, holidays and birthdays and how everything is so competitive. All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!
