Description of the problem | I went to mechanic for oil change and been advised that the all struts are leaking. Front struts are in really bed shape. Total cost is about $ 1600. I did some search on google and mechanic also told me this is well known issue for 2009 camry, and advise us to contact toyota. I contacted toyota and toyota was aware about this issue. They have bulletin but no action was taken from their side. Customer service has no supervisor onsite, if you are not satisfied with answer. They closed my case on phone only. Our mechanic stated for safety, struts has to be replaced. As toyota knows about these defective parts; but these parts are expensive so not ready to take responsibility. I am driving this car everyday with my son (age 6) i hope government will intefere and will make toyota responsible for replacement for all cases. Approximate miles: 40500. |
