TOOK TRUCK TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REQUESTING REAR LEAF SPRING ON PASSENGER SIDE TO BE REPLACED AFTER I REALIZED IT SQUEAKS ALL THE TIME AND RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ABOUT SPRING. WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULDN'T DO THE REPAIRS B/C IT HAS A LIFT KIT ON THE TRUCK AND IN ORDER FOR THEM TO PREFORM THE JOB THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY LIFT KIT OFF AT MY EXPENSE. LEAF SPRING IS STILL SQUEAKING. I EVEN ASKED IF TOYOTA WOULD PAY FOR THE LEAF SPRING AND LET ME HAVE SOMEONE ELSE INSTALL AND WAS TOLD NO. NOW I HAVE A SQUEAKY LEAF SPRING THAT COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME AND IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE PRODUCT.

AIR BAGS
I WAS BELTED IN AND HIT A STREET SIGN THEN A 6 FOOT TALL STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN JUST ABOUT SAND HILL AND THEN A TREE. IMPACT WAS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO BRAKE MY BACK FOR SUDDEN STOP. THE ACCIDENT WAS MAY 5, 2016 AND IT WAS A DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT BUT THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY AIRBAG INSTEAD OF SNAPPING MY BACK.. I HAVE HAD SERIOUS MEMORY LOSS DUE TO PRIOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS. I LOVE TOYOTA BUT I BELIEVE SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG THAT NIGHT AS IMPACT SHOULD HAVE SET OFF DRIVER AIRBAG. MY PASSENGERS DIDN'T BUCKLE UP BUT I DID AND I WAS HURT THE WORSE.. OH AND YES I AM EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE IN YOUR COMPANY OR LAW FIRM TO KNOW IF I NEED A LAWYER OR NOT. THANK YOU ..
