I have noticed for several months that the truck has been "bottoming out" when going over a bump with a load. I got under to inspect and noticed a right leaf spring broke and sitting over on the axle. The top part was still connected to the other leaf springs. It broke in the area above the axle. Toyota still has no parts to fix the issue. Somebody needs to get them on the ball to fixing the problem!! What if it had…

I brought my truck in for the frame check. They said i was good for a frame spray. They sprayed my truck because i was told it was warrantied.

I was driving down the road heard a loud snap. Truck skipped sideways like i hit a pothole. Found a broken driver side leaf spring. I reported it toyota they said they didn't know how to fix it. So i went out and had 2 new springs put on for safety. I was then told they would pay me for the repair. Now because they don't kno the "remedy" to repair this. They won't do anything for me. *js

My leaf spring snapped while driving down the road. And they still wont do anything for it. Because they don't know how to fix there own problem. Also they won't stand behind the there fake remedy for a frame that is going to break apart. They did on the 2001-2004 because they knew the spray does nothing but make it worse. 04-08 your on your own. *tr

Frame rust. There was a inspection period for rusted frames on this vehicle (and others), i missed the inspection period and am fearful that my truck is potentially dangerous. I think this inspection time period and work should be expanded to protect current owners and others on the roads. Toyota states it is out of their hands and they can do nothing for me, regardless of the safety issue. Please help expand this…

It is now late april of 2015 and according to toyota's web site they are still trying to figure out how to fix it. When i contact the dealer, all they say is we are powerless until we hear from toyota. I am concerned that toyota does not want to…

I have had three separate incidents of leaf springs breaking. It is always the center leaf spring - once on the left and twice on the right. I repaired two springs prior to the recall, and submitted a request for reimbursement to toyota, which they denied. I just had a third leaf spring break. I use my truck for hauling material on my farm and cannot do so with a broken leaf spring. It is obviously a design problem,…
