I NOTICED A RATTLING COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. I STOPPED TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND A BROKEN LEAF SPRING RUBBING AGAINST THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY IT MAY HAVE CAUSE THE TIRE TO POP. THERE ARE MULTIPLE POSTS DETAILING THE SAME BREAK OF THE LEAF SPRING AND THE RESULTING TIRE DAMAGE ON THE INTERNET.

AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY/WIPER
AIR BAGS (MANUFACTURE UNKNOWN) ON SEPT 29, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH, MY STEERING WHEEL AND KNEE BAGS INFLATED FOR NO REASON. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND LOST SIGHT OF THE ROAD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BECAUSE OF THE FOG ON THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN THE FOG CLEARED, I COULD SEE THAT I WAS GOING TO END UP IN A FIELD AND THAT I HAD CROSSED THE CENTER LINE. I TRIED TO BACK OUT OF THE FIELD BUT COULD NOT BECAUSE OF THE MUDDY CONDITIONS. I CALLED MY WIFE, TOLD HER THE AIR BAGS HAD INFLATED FOR NO REASON. I ASKED HER TO CALL AAA FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE SPEAKING TO HER, A MAN WALKED UP TO ASK IF I WAS OKAY. I SAID YES. HE THEN ASKED IF I REALIZED I HAD HIT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. I WAS NOT. I HAD NOT SEEN ANY OTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE "FOG" FROM THE AIR BAG. I ASKED HIM WHAT VEHICLE AND HE POINTED TO A MAN IN A RED SHIRT STANDING IN FRONT OF A WHITE PICKUP WITH DUEL REAR WHEELS. I TOLD MY WIFE I NEEDED TO GO SEE IF ANYONE WAS INJURED, GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AND WALKED BACK TO THE OTHER TRUCK. NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD BY MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER THAT THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY $7,000 DAMAGE TO THE OTHER TRUCK. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.

I WAS DRIVING THE THE ROAD ON A CITY STREET WHEN I HEARD A RATTLING SOUND. I CHECKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE WHAT THE NOISE WAS. THE LEFT REAR LEAF SPRING WAS BROKEN WHICH COULD HAVE GONE INTO THE TIRE POSSIBLY CREATING A SITUATION OR AN ACCIDENT. I AM UNSURE WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS. I DID NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES OR LARGE BUMPS IN THE ROAD. I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY WANT OVER $900 FOR A NEW LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY, THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. I HAVE NEVER HAD A LEAF SPRING BREAK IN THE 1997 GMC 1500K PICKUP TRUCK I PREVIOUSLY OWNED FOR 16 YEARS. I HAVE READ OTHER SIMILAR TOYOTA TUNDRA LEAF SPRING BREAK REPORTS ON THE INTERNET. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS WITHOUT CHARGE. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 88,000 MILES ON THE TUNDRA.

I HEARD METAL RATTLE AS I RODE OVER SEWER COVERS / BUMPS ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE LEAF SPRING WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED THROUGH AND BROKEN. I WAS THE ONLY DRIVER OF THE TRUCK & PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. IT WAS USED AS A PASSENGER VEHICLE AND IT HAD NEVER TOWED MORE THAN A POP-UP CAMPER & IT HAD NEVER BEEN USED TO CARRY ANYTHING HEAVIER THAN HOCKEY BAGS AND GROCERIES. THE TRUCK HAD 66,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE SPRING BROKE. IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE LEAF SPRING DUE TO THE FACT THAT HAD I BEEN HIT THE GAS TANK COULD HAVE PUNCTURED & EXPLODED. TOYOTA WOULD NOT COVER THE COST BECAUSE I WAS OVER 36,000 MILES.

ONE OF THE LEAFS IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING BROKE AND SLID AGAINST THE TIRE RIM WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THE PIECE OF LEAF SPRING "COULD" HAVE JAMMED IN MY RIM AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE OR FALLEN OFF CAUSING A PROBLEM FOR DRIVERS FOLLOWING ME. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL OTHER TOYOTA TUNDRA OWNERS AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH CRACKED / BROKEN REAR LEAF SPRINGS. I HAVE TO ASSUME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO PURCHASE NEW LEAF SPRINGS FROM TOYOTA IN A TIMELY FASHION BECAUSE THE HAD A LARGE BACK ORDER ON LEAF SPRINGS FOR MY MODEL.

I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY DOWN THE ROAD AFTER WORK AND THE VEHICLE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 40 MPH. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER IN MORRISTOWN, TN. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON A OXYGEN PUMP UP TO 150,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS OVER 150,OOO MILES THAT IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED AND IT COST OVER 2,000 TO FIX IT. I WROTE A LETTER TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS MY FAULT I DIDN'T CHECK FOR RECALLS WHEN I BOUGHT IT USED . THEY NEVER SENT ME A RECALL LETTER ON THIS AT ALL , I HAD BOUGHT IT AT AROUND 126,000 MILES AND RECEIVED NO RECALL LETTERS WHEN IT WOULD OF BEEN COVERED. THIS IS MY COMPLAINT THAT MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME . I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I SHOULD OF BEEN NOTIFIED. THEY SAID IT WAS MY FAULT I DIDN'T CHECK FOR RECALLS NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

MY TRUCK'S BED HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH IN ONE SPOT. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A TSB FOR THIS (TSB-0101-12) BUT REFUSES TO COMPLY. THEY CLAIM THAT MY TRUCK'S VIN DOES NOT FOLLOW IN THE RECOGNIZED RANGE AND THAT THE RUST WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS 6.5 YEARS OLD. IT TOOK SO LONG BECAUSE THERE IS A SPRAY-IN BEDLINER THAT COVERED THE DAMAGE. THIS OCCURS FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND PERFORATES COMPLETELY THROUGH. TOYOTA'S SOLUTION IS TO DEAL WITH IT. MY CLAIM WAS DENIED AND IN THEIR OWN WORDS: 'THE DECISION HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND WILL NOT CHANGE.' SO MUCH FOR EVER BUYING ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN.

7 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH UNDER 20K MILES HAS MAJOR RUST IN THE BED. I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD ANYONE LOOK AT IT YET BUT THE SURFACE RUST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR REAR OF BED APPEARS RUSTED DOWN TO FRAME OR UP FROM FRAME. IT IS ABOUT A 3X3 INCH AREA. SAME SPOT ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS EARLY STAGES OF THE SAME RUST OCCURRING. I HAD A TOYOTA PROVIDED BED LINER IN THE BED.

I HAVE A 2010 CREWMAX WITH 79K MILES. DURING A RECENT VISIT TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP THEY NOTICED THAT THE BED OF THE TRUCK WAS RUSTING IN FOUR SEPARATE PLACES WHERE THE CROSS MEMBERS ATTACH TO THE FRAME. A TSB WAS ISSUED, OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN ISSUE FROM TOYOTA, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED VIA MAIL. THE TRUCK WAS SERVICED AT LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT THIS ISSUE WAS NEVER CHECKED. IT HAS A FACTORY INSTALLED TOYOTA BEDLINER. WHEN PURCHASED, I HAD THE UNDERCOATING APPLIED WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THIS WOULD PREVENT THE RUSTING. HOWEVER, SINCE THE RUST BEGINS FROM THE BOTTOM IT IS NOT EASILY IDENTIFIED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE A PHONE CALL TO TOYOTA CORP TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS NO RESPONSIBILITY AND CORPORATE IS STANDING FIRM ON THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. VERY DISHEARTENING TO SPEND THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON A TRUCK THAT HAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE COMPANY WILL NOT BACK IT UP. I AM FOND OF THE VEHICLE BUT IF IT IS REMEDIED I WILL NOT RECOMMEND NOR PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA FOR MYSELF OR MY FAMILY.

RUST IN TRUCK BED COMING FROM BOLTS THAT CONNECT BED TO FRAME. HUGE AMOUNTS OF RUST. BED CONNECTION POINTS FAILING BECAUSE OF RUST. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE ISSUE THE BOLTS ARE CAUSING THE RUST BUT DID NOTHING ABOUT IT WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRUCK CAME WITH A TOYOTA DROP IN BED LINER SO I WAS NEVER AWARE OF THE ISSUE UNTIL I LOOKED UNDER THE BED LINER RECENTLY. THE RUST HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF RUST PRESENT.I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THE REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE.

LEAF SPRINGS HAVE BROKEN, EACH SPRING HAS A MAN LEAF WITH TWO ADDITIONAL SPRINGS, BOTH ADDITIONAL SPRINGS HAVE BROKEN UNDER NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE, ONLY ONE SPRING REMAINS ON EACH SIDE. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND UNDRIVABLE, LAST WEEK WHEN I HEARD IT, I THOUGH IT WAS JUST A ROCK KICKING UP UNDER THE FRAME, BUT WHEN I STOPPED TO INVESTIGATE I NOTICED MY TRUCK SITTING LOW TO THE GROUND AND THE SPRINGS WERE BROKEN. IF ONE MORE SPRING ON EITHER SIDE BREAKS, IT COULD PUNCTURE THE FUEL TANK AND WILL PUT THE VEHICLE FRAME ON THE AXLE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS WOULD CASUE A MAJOR ACCIDENT MOST LIKELY INVOLVING DEATH. I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE TRUCK AT 35 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK, THANK GOD IT DIDN'T TURN INTO A FATALITY. I REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE SPRINGS, THE BROKEN HALFS OF THE SPRINGS STILL REMAIN INTACT AND CAN BE EXAMINED FOR DEFAULT. THE FIRST INCIDENCES HAPPENED IN THE PAST, WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO KNOW HOW AND WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE. THE LAST INCIDENT DID HOWEVER HAPPEN LAST WEEK AND BARE METAL CAN BE SEEN AT THE BREAK IN THE UPLOADED PHOTO. NO WEIGHT WAS IN THE TRUCK AT THE TIME.
