Description of the problem | I was having extreme vibration on my 2009 toyota camry when driving over 65 mph on some state interstate. This happened most noticeably when reaching speeds of over 60 mph, and the tires were literally skipping off the road when breaking and you would lose control of the vehicle, which could lead to a crash causing a death. This is on a 2009 toyota camry. This was taken into the dealership several times, and it was finally addressed. I called toyota and they said they did not have a tsb on my situation. They lied. 3. I took the car to the toyota dealership and they found due to defect in materials used by toyota motor corporation, that there was premature warpage on the brake rotors. Also the dealership realized toyota put out a tsb -0169-9 on june 4 2009. Yet when i called toyota customer care and specifically asked if there was a tsb for brake rotors the customer service rep. Said no. But this was not presented to me until after my car went over 36k miles. My car has 37. 7k miles. Yet i took my car in at 35k miles, and this was not fixed under warranty. Toyota customer care refused to even address my problem, and told me there were no tsb bulletins out on this and i spoke to [xxx] at toyota customer care, and even when i called in august they told my there were not tsb bulletins. Toyota has a serious issues with their brake pads and rotors that can cause the tires to leave the road when braking. I have also called toyota over a year ago about this and they denied that there was anything wrong. Now i have to pay for the repairs because toyota failed to notify me and my dealer. This should be a recall investigation as this can lead to a serious accident and even cause death. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
