I noticed a rattling coming from the rear end of the vehicle while driving. I stopped to investigate and found a broken leaf spring rubbing against the rear passenger side tire. There was damage to the inside of the tire. Had i been on the highway it may have cause the tire to pop. There are multiple posts detailing the same break of the leaf spring and the resulting tire damage on the internet.

Rear leaf springs. Rear leaf spring broken- appears to have just broke. Do minor towing maybe 4000 lbs a few times a years. Vehicle has 88,000 miles on it. I have never had a leaf spring break. This is definitely a material flaw.

I was driving the the road on a city street when i heard a rattling sound. I checked under the truck to see what the noise was. The left rear leaf spring was broken which could have gone into the tire possibly creating a situation or an accident. I am unsure what may have caused this. I did not hit any pot holes or large bumps in the road. I checked with the local toyota dealership. They want over $900 for a new…

One of the leafs in the rear passenger side leaf spring broke and slid against the tire rim while driving on a city street. The piece of leaf spring "could" have jammed in my rim and caused an accident or damage or fallen off causing a problem for drivers following me. I have spoken to several other toyota tundra owners and they have had the same problem with cracked / broken rear leaf springs. I have to assume this…

Faulty passenger side rear leaf spring. Busted in half and twisted resulting in bouncing off many under neath parts as well as possible interference with tire. Resulting damage seems to be directly inline with the tacoma recall that isn't being fixed on the tundras.

However my model and year are not included in these. I took the…

I have noticed an incredible bounce while driving on the freeway and local way. It has only 1,500 miles and this does not seem normal and concerns me. The tires doesn't seem to change the bounce effect. I can't even put my family in the back seat because they feel uncomfortable and start bouncing everywhere. The problem needs to be addressed and fixed by botoya. *tr

The truck bounces real bad on some concrete roads at about 65 mph to the point i have to slow down or change lanes to get it to stop. On the same roads i can not hold the gas pedal steady its revving the engine up on every bounce i think the recall made the peddle to sensitive on rough roads. *tr
