1 Front Suspension Coil Spring problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2020

The 2016 4runner trd pro is a limited production model. Toyota source the suspension components from an outside vendor. My right front spring failed, breaking I four places. The car has 41,000 miles and has only been used in normal highway driving -- no off-road. The front spring design is deficient. There is no taper at either end of the coil spring, leaving a knife edge touch the adjacent coil -- right where the spring broke. There are numerous examples of the same problem on the internet. The part was back ordered requiring more than a week to get it, suggesting many others have had the same problem. The left spring will likely fail, and the right will probably fail again. This is a safety issue affecting stability.
