57 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 09/29/2014

I received a recall dated 9/29/14 for defective leaf springs. It is now 2/27/15 and I have had nothing but an initioal notice and no estimate of repair date. I have comunincated with Toyota through thier channels and received no new or updated information. I have had a trip planned for some time that involves using the truck and towing a boat that a feel I may need to cancel due to safety conerns and find it to be unreasonable that it is taking this long for a solution. It would appear that there will have to be someone injured or worse before this gets attention.

58 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 09/29/2014

I just found my truck is subject to recall number: e12. The safety risk: states possible punchered fuel tank and possible fuel leak could result in fire. The recall status: states "remedy not yet available". This is unacceptable in my mind. Replacing a leaf spring assembly is not that complicated. I hope NHTSA will encourage Toyota to react quickly to this design failure. Dave weaver.

66 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2014

May 2014. Middle leaf spring (of a total of 3 leaf springs) on left side of vehicle cracked. Toyota charged $275 to repair it. November 2014. Toyota issues a safety recall notice for possible leaf spring fracture. They do not issue a remedy and do not offer to replace any leaf springs. They mention a second letter that will authorize leaf spring replacement, which as of today (27 July 2015) has not yet been issued. July 2015. One leaf spring on right side of vehicle cracks and is removed by Toyota dealer. Customer is told to drive vehicle until replacement spring arrive with only two leaf springs on right side of vehicle. 27 July 2015. Leaf springs replaced on both sides of vehicle with a heavier construction 4-leaf spring assembly. My complaint is that Toyota issued a safety recall notice in November 2014 and 9 months later they do not have a solution. They have replaced my leaf springs only because they broke. I do not think that Toyota takes the obligations of vehicle safety seriously. They are negligent in allowing people to drive around in vehicles with underrated leaf springs. They allowed me to drive around with one fewer leaf spring on the right side of my vehicle. And they have not to date reimbursed me for my first leaf spring repair (Toyota customer service tells me it may take one or two years from now before I receive a letter allowing me to apply for reimbursement). I appreciate your investigation of this situation.
