| Description of the problem | 2008 toyota tundra double cab 4x4 sr5 w/trd off road this truck is clearly unsafe to drive. When you drive the truck and hit a bump in the road, the truck bed bounces. It will actually affect the steering and ability to control the vehicle. While driving the truck at highway speeds, if you hit a large bump it is exceptionally hard to steer and control. I know truck beds can bounce, but this truck is way more than the norm!! The bounce has actually led to my 1st tundra's bed to be out of square 1 1/2 . Further more , if you measure from the back of the cab to the top of the bed, there was a difference of 1 3/4 inches from the left and right side. Please help! Toyota has recognized the problem of the bed bounce, but refuses to help. This is a problem is serious and needs to be looked into immediately. Please call if you guys have any questions i will be glad to help. Thank you |
