Toyota Tacoma's Have A Serious Engineering Flaw

This Is A Toyota Tacoma

From 1994-2004 First Gen Tacomas Suffered From Frame Rusting

Due To Their Box Frames Trapping Water Inside

Which Forced Toyota To Recall 800,000 Trucks

Then From 2005-2011 Tacomas Suffered From A Worse Rust Problem In The Rear

Leaf Spring That Would Rot Causing Them To Snap And In Some Cases

Puncture The Break Lines And Gas Tank

resulting in them Recall Another 690,000 Tacomas

See The Cheap Steel Being Used To Make The Leaf Springs Rusted Easily

Initially Toyota Offered Steel Clips That Would Go Around The Rotting

Leaf Spring And Hold It Together

But Owners Were Not Happy With This Fix

And Toyota Issued A Total Recall
