WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER WRITING TO YOU WHEN I KNOW IT'LL BE ATLEAST 2 MORE YEARS BEFORE YOU EVER MAKE TOYOTA BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR BAD PARTS, ETC... OR IS THIS THE USUAL BUREAUCRATIC STUFF THAT GOES ON IN DC TO MAKE THE CONSUMER FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY BEING DONE, WHEN ALL YOU'RE DOING IS WASTING PAPER BY SENDING US RECALL BS THAT REALLY NEVER MATTERS TO YOU ANYWAY!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V604000 (SUSPENSION) BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT SUPPLIED THE REMEDY PARTS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND HAD BEEN UNABLE TO SPECIFY A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SUPPLY THE PART TO THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

NEARLY BRAND NEW TIRE (LESS THAN 3000 MILES) SIDEWALL EXPLODED ON THE HIGHWAY (50 MPH). TOYO, THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I'VE BEEN BLOWN OFF, AND HAD MY JUDGEMENT QUESTIONED. THIS IS A MAJOR PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. TIRE MODEL IS OPEN COUNTRY R/T (NOT LISTED UNDER OPTIONS).

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING REAL LEAF SPRING POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION IN SEPTEMBER 2014. HAD INSPECTION DONE AT RELIABLE TOYOTA AND THEY CONFIRMED REPIAR NEED. STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM AS TO WHEN I CAN BRING VEHICLE IN FOR FIX. THIS IS NOVEMBER 2016!! REAR LEAF SPRINGRECALL NOTICE NHTSA 14V604.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: OPENS NEW WINDOW TAKES AWAY FROM VIN LOOKUP SECTION> 14V604 RECALL DATE: SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: E02 SUMMARY: THE SUBJECT VEHICLES? REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM CONTAINS LEAF SPRINGS THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED OF EITHER THREE OR FOUR LEAVES. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A LEAF COULD FRACTURE DUE TO STRESS AND CORROSION. IF THIS OCCURS AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE OPERATED, THE BROKEN LEAF COULD MOVE OUT OF POSITION AND CONTACT SURROUNDING COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE FUEL TANK. SAFETY RISK: IF THE BROKEN LEAF CONTACTS THE FUEL TANK REPEATEDLY, IT COULD PUNCTURE THE TANK AND CAUSE A FUEL LEAK. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. REMEDY: TOYOTA WILL REPLACE THE LEAF SPRINGS WITH NEWLY DESIGNED ONES. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE MANUFACTURER NOTES:

I AM STILL WAITING FOR A SOLUTION TO THE DEFECTIVE LEAF SPRING REPLACEMENT ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS NEGLECTED PROVIDE AN UPDATE OR REPLACEMENT LEAF-SPRING SOLUTION TO THE NOTED ISSUE.

MY 09 TACOMA VIBRATED AT CERTAIN SPEEDS AND SLIGHTLY SWERVED GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY CAUSING INSTABILITY AND LACK OF CONTROL. ALSO HEARD SOME CLANKING IN THE REAR END. UPON EXAMINATION THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS IN BOTH SIDES WERE BROKEN. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC ONE SPRING WAS ACTUALLY RUBBING THE TIRE . TOYOTA HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS FOR TACOMA REAR LEAF SPRINGS BECAUSE THEY WERE BREAKING. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE CAME FROM A DIFFERENT PLANT AND DID NOT QUALIFY. I NEVER ABUSED THIS VEHICLE NO REASON FOR THIS ISSUE THEY SHOULD ADD THIS PLANT TO THE RECALL LIST TO AVOID ACCIDENT AND INJURY. I SHOULD DISCLOSE THAT I HAD TWO BAD WHEEL BEARINGS AS WELL WHICH MAY HAVE RESULTED FROM THE STRESS CAUSED BY THE LEAF SPRINGS. JUST DON'T KNOW. HOWEVER, NOT JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT BOTH SPRINGS BROKE ON A TACOMA THAT IS WELL KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR
