What owners say about the suspension
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“My understanding is that my vehicle went in for the frame issue. However on both the driver and passenger sides the frame is literally disintegrating. The metal is falling apart in solid chunks, not flakes actual chunks ⅜" x 2" x 3"! This is taking place in the exact same locations on each side. Just aft of the front suspension cross frame and in front of the transmission/transfer case cross support.”
“Took my 2010 Tundra in for service at a local repair shop and was told that my frame has severe rust on the frame and is in poor condition. I am worried about the safety of this vehicle for me and my family. I am the only owner of the truck and purchased it brand new. What can be done? Thank you”
“The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that the rear leaf springs had separated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rear leaf springs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.”
“Upon inspection of the underside I my tundra I noticed the rear bumper nearly rusted away. Further inspection showed major rusting of the tow tongue tunnel, rear shock supports and spots on the frame.”
“PASSENGER REAR LEAF SPRING BROKE FOR NO REASON, NOT TOWING LOOSE PIECE THEN FLIPS AROUND HITTING SURROUNDING STRUCTURES AND WHEELS POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT”
