While the vehicle was being serviced by a local garage the mechanic noticed that one of the leafs (the middle leaf) in the drivers side leaf spring stack had broken, rotated inwards (away from the tire) and had nearly abraded through one of the hydraulic brake lines. If the line had severed then 50% of the vehicles braking would not be operational. This could lead to excessive stopping distances and could be fatal!…

8/4/14 the left rear spring broke severing the brake line, leaving her with no ability to stop the truck. 7/12/13 the right rear spring was found to be broken. Both the toyota dealer and the shop that fixed the springs told me that this was very common in these trucks. Had my daughter lost her brakes ten minutes earlier, she would have been on the interstate and the results could have been tragic.. Updated 08-20-14…

A broken leaf spring cut my brake line and my brakes stopped working with my 8 year old child in the truck. I had already replaced a leaf spring on the other side. This could have caused a very serious accident, luckily the brakes still had some fluid in them when i realized there was an issue. The truck had to be towed to the dealership for repair. *tr

I was coming into a right handed corner on dry pavement doing 45mph (less than the suggested speed for the corner). As i let off the throttle and turned into the corner the vehicles stability control kicked in causing the truck to go straight. I had to fight against the steering wheel and managed to overpower the stability control but by then i was in the on-coming lane. *tr

When changing direction of travel such as forward to reverse the brakes make a loud clank. Took to dealership multiple times and they stated the brake pad pins are actually hitting the rotors, that this is a known issue and there is no fix yet. My concern if there is no fix then how long will it take for these small pins to break causing me to loose critical breaking. The breaking system is one of the most critical…
