Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“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.”

“I have noticed an incredible bounce while driving on the freeway and local way. It has only 1,500 miles and this does not seem normal and concerns me. The tires doesn't seem to change the bounce effect. I can't even put my family in the back seat because they feel uncomfortable and start bouncing everywhere. The problem needs to be addressed and fixed by botoya.”

“During state vehicle inspection, it was found that both left & right leaf springs were broken with pieces easily removed by dealer. Dealer service person stated that they have seen a few of these come in lately. I have not loaded the truck bed at all nor have I towed anything near capacity. I have a small outboard boat and have not even used that yet this year. I did had banging noise for past month but thought it was the trailer hitch.”

“The truck tailgate was noticed to have paint bubbling toward the bottom on the tailgate. Further inspection shows moderate rust on the inner lip of the bottom of the tailgate where two panels come together, and is noticable when it is in a lowered position. After calling Toyota corporate national customer service line and notifying them of the issue, I was asked if rust was on the frame. Further more, I was told there is no program they have to help with such an issue. …”
