ONE OF THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS BROKE. PART OF IT SHIFTED SIDEWAYS IN ITS LOCATION AND BEGAN TO PUNCTURE THE FUEL TANK. UPON SEARCHING FOR A REPLACEMENT ON THE USED MARKET, I LEARNED THAT NUMBER ONE, ALL OF THESE TACOMAS DEVELOP BROKEN LEAF SPRINGS, AND NUMBER TWO, ALL USED SPRINGS HAVE BEEN ABSORBED TO REPAIR BROKEN ONES ON TRUCKS STILL IN USE. NUMBER THREE, TOYOTA CHANGED THE CONFIGURATION OF THE REAR SPRING ASSEMBLY FROM A THREE LEAF TO A FOUR LEAF ASSEMBLY TO TRY TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM, BUT MADE THE RETROFIT A COST BORNE BY THE CONSUMER. EVEN A PARTS EMPLOYEE OF A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AGREED THAT TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL OF THE TACOMA FOR DEFECTIVE LEAF SPRING DESIGN/ENGINEERING. THE BREAKAGE CREATES AN UNSTABLE SUSPENSION SUBJECT TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND IF THE SPRING SHIFTS SIDEWAYS DOES PUNCTURE THE FUEL TANK. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"1998","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"TACOMA","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
