Description of the problem | I called toyota of santa barbara to schedule this recall work to replace the rear leaf springs on my tacoma. I was told that the parts were on order and i would be called when they came in. I week or more later, i called again and told by a man in the parts department that the parts for the recall were still not in. He asked if i wanted to be put on the waiting list for the recall service. I was surprised to learn that despite my previous call i was not put on the list. The guy i spoke to was unable or unwilling to give me an estimate for when the service could be done, and said the faulty leaf springs could be used without risks. I was unwilling to be so cavalier with the defect and the potential for additional damage to my truck. I explained that when towing my small trailer the suspension bottoms out when hitting a dip or bump, even at slow speeds. I am planning a long camping trip across the west and canada and need this repaired before august 12th. |
