2012 Toyota TACOMA Suspension Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1454726
Internal NHTSA #	11080196
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	TACOMA
Model Year	2012
File date	19/03/18
Component	SUSPENSION
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I bought a used 2012 toyota tacoma with 75,000 miles on it from a dealership with the "toyota certification." at 86,400 miles, the truck bed started sagging, and everytime i accelerated, the suspension would make a loud thumping noise, & the back end would wiggle & vibrate. I took it into the dealership, and they said both leafsprings (under the truck bed) cracked (at the same time), but unfortunately my 2012 was not covered under the suspension recall, which covered only until the 2011 model year. Otherwise the recall would've paid for the fix. It appears faulty steel was still used in the leafsprings manufacture well into the 2012 model years. In the meantime, i had to get my truck fixed, and spent roughly $1,100 at a non-dealership mechanic. Please investigate this as there are other trucks in this same predicament.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
