problem #1

Oct 242004

Tacoma 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
While driving on an interstate at 60 - 65 mph, a loud sound was heard from the rear of the vehicle and the handling became very difficult. The vehicle was pulled to the shoulder. The vehicle was towed to the Toyota dealership in las cruces, nm. Investigation from the dealer was the U-bolt that connected the leaf springs to the axle came off and damaged the rear differential, the rear wheel & tire and possibly the front tire. The dealer contacted the Toyota care representative and they responded that this was a case of the failure of a fastener and was not considered to be a mechanical defect of the vehicle. As of this report the vehicle was not repaired.
