While the vehicle was being serviced by a local garage the mechanic noticed that one of the leafs (the middle leaf) in the drivers side leaf spring stack had broken, rotated inwards (away from the tire) and had nearly abraded through one of the hydraulic brake lines. If the line had severed then 50% of the vehicles braking would not be operational. This could lead to excessive stopping distances and could be fatal! Detailed pictures available upon request.

8/4/14 the left rear spring broke severing the brake line, leaving her with no ability to stop the truck. 7/12/13 the right rear spring was found to be broken. Both the toyota dealer and the shop that fixed the springs told me that this was very common in these trucks. Had my daughter lost her brakes ten minutes earlier, she would have been on the interstate and the results could have been tragic.. Updated 08-20-14 *bf. Updated 08/27/2014

A broken leaf spring cut my brake line and my brakes stopped working with my 8 year old child in the truck. I had already replaced a leaf spring on the other side. This could have caused a very serious accident, luckily the brakes still had some fluid in them when I realized there was an issue. The truck had to be towed to the dealership for repair.
