Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The rear leaf springs broke under normal operation conditions ! i called the toyota dealer and said they are aware of the problem and have a "fix" for $600.00! i called 10 junkyards looking for used springs and they all just laughed and said" they sell them as fast as they get them" because it is such a common failure. i now ask everyone i see driving one of these trucks if thiers has broke and about 80% of them say yes! if the truck had been loaded or if i had been going fast when it broke it would have been a heck of a wreack! how could so many trucks be doing this and toyota not be made to make it good? thanks, greg. *ak |
