Description of the problem | Took my 2007 toyota tacoma to the dealership because of squeaking and the smell of burn metal. The service agent said there is a service bulletins(tbs 027409) the rear leaf springs are defected as she said. Toyota would only fix the problem if it was under warranty. But since my was out of warranty i would have to pay for it. I told her that if the vehicle has a defected problem why was i not in front of it at the time it was issued. She said if toyota inform every one it would cost toyota alot of money. Please inform all tacoma owns of the problem before the leak spring brake and go airborn and kill someone . Please do not take toyota word on this, like you did with the floor mats.... Please have them recall the vehicle before someone dies if someone have not already die. I will also be sending a letter to us representative stupak. Toyota is still only thinking of there bottom line. |
