REPLACED REAR LEAF SPRING AS IT WAS BROKEN AND STICKING OUT SIDE OF RETAINER. I PAID FOR THIS. RECEIVED A TOYOTA RECALL OF DEFECTIVE REAR SPRING NOTICE ON AUGUST 2014. HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE FOR SPRING REPLACEMENT. ANOTHER SPRING PROBLEM WITH RETAINER CLIP BROKEN IN 2015. DURAND TOYOTA SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLACE SPRINGS UNTIL I RECEIVED SECOND NOTICE BUT WOULD HAVE TO WELD SPRING IN PLACE UNTI SECOND NOTICE IS RECEIVED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I REQUEST IT BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY TOYOTA

NH STATE INSPECTION FAILED MY 2006 TACOMA DUE TO HOLES IN THE FRAME I CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME ITS MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS SINCE THE SPRAYED THE FRAME PREVIOUSLY. WELL THE SPRAY DID NOT WORK AND THE FRAME STILL ROTTED SO WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING FORCE TO FIX THE FAULTY FRAME THAT THEY KNEW WAS A PROBLEM SINCE THEY HAVE HAD THIS COME UP IN THE PAST. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY YOUR AGENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS CORRODED.

THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILED AT ABOUT 72000 MILES. A YEAR LATER BOTH REAR TIRE BEARINGS FAILED AT ABOUT 77000 MILES.

THE NEED TO REPLACE THREE BEARINGS ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES IS CLEARLY ABNORMAL AND SUGGEST A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. NO UNUSUAL LOADS OR ROAD TRAVEL WAS UNDERTAKEN BY THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A REVISED REPORT FOR ODI # 10746795
