Front Suspension Leaf Spring problems of the 2009 Toyota Tacoma

At my state inspection I was told the front ball joints were very bad. I contacted the dealer and was told they were not under warranty, they would cost $800. 00 to repair and they had not experienced this failure before at such low mileage. This year I took my truck in for inspection to find the rear leaf springs on both sides were broken. When I contacted the dealer I was again told it was not a warranty issue and they had not experienced it before. I asked to have the contact information for the Toyota district representative, but was told they did not give that information out. I sent a complaint via email to Toyota corporate and at this point have received not response. The local repair shops tell me they have repaired many of these trucks for these problems. The internet is awash with complaints regarding broken springs. I was lucky, I discovered the problem before the spring piece reached my rear tire. I believe this is a potentially very serious safety issue that the company is taking no responsibility to resolve.

I have exactly the same problem with read leaf springs as everybody else- the rear is sagging and and the front end is starting to rise(excessive tire wear) my truck has 66,000 miles and it only carries a 210lb vintage dirtbike 5 or 6 times a year. Do people have to start dying like gm's ignition switch before someone in the federal govt gets off their rear end and actually does their job? also spiral cable recall that could damage driver's airbag(cob (c1b) I have paperwork from Toyota and dealer stating the recall and now they are denying that one exists or ever existed. Also, when transmission shifts at low speeds(usually downshifting, clunk is heard in drive shaft) too much lash in rearend or junk u-joints. I have an aas in automotive technolgy and over 105 credits in automotive engineering . I'm not just blowing smoke. When I lived in nys, I had a vehicle inspection license and I would definitely fail many Toyotas with these problems. No inspection sticker-no driving of vehicle.
