What owners wrote
My 2011 toyota tacoma 7188 is very dangerous to drive in windy conditions. At interstate speeds (70MPH) it looses directional stability during windy conditions. My 2006 tacoma 7114 was solid as a rock in any conditions. I feel that the height of the vehicle causes wind to raise the vehicle ever so slight causing a very dangerous drivability situation. Sadly I have spoken to other owners and they experienced the same problems. This is my 12th toyota of which 6 have been tacomas.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota tacoma. While driving approximately 75 MPH, the rear of the vehicle emitted a loud noise and the steering became difficult to maneuever. The contact stated that the steering was difficult to operate approximately four months prior to the failure. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the rear leaf spring was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.
