    None yet.
    My leased 2018 DCSB 4x4 SR is barely 12 months old and is already on its third recall and it already needs an alignment! I drive like an old man and have never taken it off road so at 15K miles why the hell would I need an alignment? I’d hate to see what the truck would look like had I not Been off-road. Anyone else with this issue?

    Not here... Florida roads are pothole free and no alignment needed. Tires wear perfect and haven’t dealt with any recalls on my Taco.

    I’d rather have my rear diff leak, blower motor fail, AC require an aux fan and need a new body mount. I’ve had all of these issues and I’d still rather drive this over a Chevy.

    Yeah a lateral strike is different.
    Hitting holes and bumps while driving relatively straight should not change a thing.

    I'd consider checking the torque on your eccentrics and mark them with a paint pen, did mine just so I can monitor if they move. Not entirely trusting of the torque settings done by other people

    I’ve beaten the hell out of this truck, shift at a hair under redline, water crossings, crazy inclines...not a single problem, and the truck asks for more.

    My wife retired after 38 years of being a nurse in the VA system. The reason I bring this up is, not only was she ready to retire, the VA was ready for her to retire I'm sure.
    Maybe it's time for you to move on to another manufacturer?
