LEFT REAR LEAF SPRNG SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING CASUALLY ON CENTRAL STREET IN WINCHENDON. THE SPRNG SUBSEQUENTLY BEAT UP AGAINS THE GAS TANK. THE DEALER, NORM WAGNER TOYOTA VOLKSSWAGEN REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSBILTY FOR THE REPAIRS THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 4100 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN THIS HAPPENS AS THE GAS TANK COULD HAVE RUPTURED CAUSING SEVERAL POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS. *AK

BOUGHT A 2000 TUNDRA WITH 49000 MILES ON IT AND INTENDED TO USE IT AS A WORK TRUCK. THE SECOND DAY I HAD THE TRUCK IT STARTED TO VIBRATE WHEN STOPPING AT ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR. THE NEXT DAY I HAD ABOUT 900 POUNDS OF PRINTING INK IN THE BACK AND HAD TO MAKE A FAIRLY QUICK STOP ON THE FREEWAY. EVEN THOUGH I HAD GIVEN MYSELF PLENTY OF ROOM, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL,IT REALLY SHOOK ME UP.I WENT TO TOYOTA AND THEY REFUSE TO DO A THING CAUSE THE WARRANTY IS UP AND I AM NOT THE ORIGENAL OWNER. SOME THING SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE!*AK
