2011 Toyota Tacoma Suspension Problems

“Leaf spring has been diagnosed by lia Toyota dealership's shop in colonie, ny as being broken. This is the same problem for 2011 Toyota Tacoma vehicles with other VIN numbers, but not mine. The dealership contacted Toyota, which denied my vehicle for the recall, so it recommends replacing both leaf springs at my expense ($2400). I feel that Toyota should include my vehicle in the recall.”

“After nearly two years, the recall is incomplete and I'm beginning to have issues with the rear leaf springs in general. Two years is absurd! I need to replace the rear shocks as well but don't want to do anything that might possibly mess up the recall fix, if it's .ever completed.the defect from that caused the springs, I believe, is also causing the rear springs to fail overall.”

“My 2011tacoma has broken rear leaf springs. They are located above the axle in danger of pucturing gas tank. Toyota has recalled tacomas from the years 2005-11 for this exact reason. Toyota tells me I don't qualify for the recall, but they can give no reason why I don't qualify.”

“The vehicle takes long to stop even after changing the brake pads , rotors, brake shoes, with new components. The rear makes a thud sound when accelerating or coming to a stop. The leaf springs also squeak and I noticed after they changed my frame the leaf springs were not change even though there is a recall on the leaf springs and it was rusting? The steering intermediate shaft started to make this loud thud sound when going over bumps around 5-10 MPH. There is also a recall on this, but my local dealer says there isn't one? …”

“Leaf springs have broken twice. First time in 2013 and current. Toyota says my VIN number is not included in the current recall. My truck should be included as it has the same safety concern as the ones being recalled.”
