Description of the problem | My wife and i have a 2009 toyota camry that receives scheduled maintenance. We had 234,000 miles, mostly highway miles, when we heard a clanging sound under the hood on the passenger side. The dealership did an inspection and found that both front coil springs were broken. They both had sections broken off on the larger end. The dealership showed me both broken off coiled ends, one in each hand while i was in the waiting room during the inspection process. The shocks were still in excellent shape with no leaking. We did not have this coil spring problem with our first 1995 camry even though we drove it 465,000 miles! We would have hit 500,000 if the car had not been rear ended. Our concern is with our mileage we entered a potential recall zone for the 2009 coil springs that other 2009 camry drivers may encounter with lower or similar mileage. |
