| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am the original owner of a 1997 toyota tacoma sr5, 4wd extra cab. i recently noticed the bed of my truck was sagging on the passenger side. i took my truck to a toyota dealer service shop and they discovered that the leaf spring is broken on the passenger side. i have not done anything to cause this to happen to my truck. i do not have a towing hitch on my truck therefore, i do not tow heavy loads or any loads for that matter. i do not put heavy loads in the bed of my truck. i don not use my truck for hauling things. i have never installed a camping shell or any shell on the bed of my truck. i have never taken my truck off road and gone "four wheeling". therefore, i am at a quandary as to why this would happen. i have not yet replaced the leaf spring. however, the driver side leaf spring will also need to be replaced because of sag. the toyota service department at the dealership has not offered to replace the leaf spring free of charge. *ak |
