Snapped leaf spring

snapped a spring on the way to the beach time to fight with the dealership on the recall. Any advice??

 

Good luck.
Did it bust a brake line or something? Is that fluid all over it and the axle?

 

Heavy rain bent the brake line not sure if it's broke

 

dont tell dealer that statement

 

The spring broke your brake line... and you feel very unsafe driving your truck so unsafe in fact you want to have it towed into the dealership to be repaired...I went through the song and dance last November I wanted both replaced they did one... I did an aal later on.. my advice just upgrade saves headaches

 

Had them tow it now they are try to figure out what to replace it with and who pays

 

Rain won't bend a line like that.
That really looks like the leaf did the damage to the line.
You are going to need a new line (or more).

 

Good luck OP.

 

Yea the leaf snapped and took out the line

 

What is op?

 

Original poster. That is you in this thread.

 

Thanks guys will let you know the outcome

 

So the update... 3 hours from home and 3 hours from my destination... Snapped the leaf and broke the brake line. Parts won't be here until Monday night repaired on Tuesday.... No loaner vehicle available until Saturday... Dealership offered to drive me half way to my destination and will work with me on a loaner on my way back thru on Saturday. Dealership is on the phone with Toyota to see who is paying for all of this. What a way to end and start the New Year...

 

Imo it should be the dealer it's a known defect, I mean I broke mine cause I was wheeling in the snow lol, I mean driving at the mall

 

Broke mine on the drivers side and Toyota replaced both. Depends on the dealer. Went to one dealer and they told me they could not help me. Went to another dealer and they told me if Toyota didn't fix it they would buy aftermarket and fix it. The only problem I had was the dealer that would not fix it was 15 min from me and the dealer that fixed it was 2 hours away. Guess where I do business now. lol

 

Oh damn man. You didn't say you were traveling when this happened.
What an exhausting day.
Hoping for all the best for you with this Robb.
Time for a bit of this I think.

 

Leaf springs shouldn't cost you anything.... It's a recall and it's because they're breaking.

I got a new frame and they replaced my leaf springs at the same time, no charge.

THey should bend over backwards to accomodate you and get the parts ASAP.

 

Snapped one while wheeling. Dealer replaced both leaf packs

 

The dealership really takes care of you guys there eh?
