I picked my truck up three days later thinking the…

    The problem with leaf spring started three years and after the final recall, we waited two months. The bad leaf spring caused a rough vibration, which caused rod, dry shaft, u joint, and rear end are connected which caused damage to all connected parts.the three years and two months of rough vibration caused a snowball effect while driving, turning and in motion.

    I bought this truck new and purchased the optional anti-corrosion system at the time of the sale. At the 2-year check required by warranty, i noticed corrosion in the vicinity of the rear bumper and frame. The dealer, atkins-kroll toyota on guam, submitted this concern to the maker of the system, who denied any responsibility because i used the truck to haul scuba diving equipment. We have subsequently engaged with…
