| Description of the problem | Driving and noticed a strange sound coming from my truck. I stopped at a gas station and was told that my leaf spring was cracked. It actually was 2 springs that were cracked. There is no recall on my car at this time, but i have spoken to several mechanics who say this is highly unusual to happen and toyota should be covering this. Of course, when i went to the toyota dealership, they would not even look at the charge without charging over a $100 fee since the car was no longer under warranty. I am looking for some help into hoping having this covered by the manufacturer due to a factory problem and not a wear and tear issue. |
