problem #1

Apr 232004

Tacoma 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 15,000 miles
While traveling on the bruckner by-pass I executed a 90 degree turn to a side road. When I turned the truck came to a sudden stop. I inspected the truck and found both rear springs broken and the rear axle shifted to the right jamming the tire into the wheel well. The truck was empty and not used as a hauling vechiele. The manufacturer replaced the springs. The original springs were clearly defective and could of resulted in a major accident if they had failed on the main highway.
