Buena park Toyota refuses to fix the recall on my truck. They say it because I don't have the original shocks. My truck was purchased from buena park Toyota as a certified used vehicle and I haven't made any changes to the truck. The way it sits now is the way I bought it from the dealership as a certified vehicle. The rear leaf spring has hit the fuel take a few times and bottoms out on every little bump (which is what the recall is for) and everything on the rear suspension is exactly the way it came from Toyota. They told me if I wanted to have the items replaced I would have to put all the oem stuff back on the vehicle but that's the way this dealer sold it to me.

I was first notified from Toyota via mail of a recall on my truck around Nov 2016. I've spent from them until now trying to get cain Toyota of North canton Ohio to do the repair. I was told several times they had to order the parts. I also explained to them there is an "add a leaf" on my truck. The truck is lifted 3". I said I'm not paying for anything here this is a full recall under Toyota. We scheduled an appointment for July 7th at 7:30am. I get there and they refuse to do the work without me paying due to the "add a leaf". they have wasted 9 months with this as myself, my wife and 3 young children ride in this truck everyday! I'm extremely disappointed with how cain Toyota has handled this issue. We are now at risk due to cains refusal to repair this at Toyota's recall expenses. I will also be calling Toyota corporate to place a formal complaint as well.

Never received recall on the airbags" safety harness in the back seats where my rand kids ride will not tighten up. Leaf-springs bow up in the middle not down" have replaced U-joints more times then on my 97 Ford. Plus carrier bearings because of the leaf springs and stopped driving it because it goes back and forth on the road. My rear end howls and needs replaced because the rear end is higher then the tranny but there has been 7 recalls on this model and only found out about them on line. You must be doing a better job or your fired!!! lol but if you care I thank you but at least make them fix these safety issues, or at least make us aware of them instead of hiding them. Don't let them get away with ripping americans off. To do so is no better then them.

Took my truck to dealership for leaf spring recall. They checked VIN, and gave me a courtesy car while they do the wor. They called me later in day and said they wont do it due to my truck being modified (lifted). Now yes my truck is lifted, however there is no modification to the springs. There is blocks in the rear that simply let the springs mount on the top of the block instead of the top of the axle and does not affect or change any dynamics or function to the springs. I dont feel this is right, with this being a life saftey issue. My truck is part of the recall and my springs are week and a saftey hazzard.

When I drive over a bump even a small one the leaf springs bottom out, but worse when some one is riding with me. Never could load my camping gear in with out it doing this. Leaf springs are weak. Seen recall but dealership wont replace leaf springs for me. My shocks are gone because they weren't made to take all the load. 1/4 ton leafs springs don't support a 1/2 ton vehicle. Corvallis was where I took it the last time, but they said have to wait for fix" my fear of them breaking and a crash happen and other people get caught up in it and some one lose a life. What will it take to get this fixed? tired of the B.S. they say. Can you help with this are am I gonna need a lawyer" I guess if you can't make them fix it then both of you are guilty of this problem, you not making them fix it, them for not.
