On dec 18th I was making a left hand turn and as I proceeded to turn left on to another rd there was a car that had got up to the high speeds of 75or 80 and I had my left turn. Signal on and as I was turning and he ran in to my driver side door and injured my left shoulder and my neck but my air bags did not deploy and I'm now having to have surgery I hope they can get to the bottom of the car wreck and again thanks
When I went to service my Toyota Camry, I was informed that my structs have to be replaced because they are leaking. From my understanding, structs are designed to work for more than 7-8 years. I could not believe that my car which is just 5 yrs old with less than 60K miles would require such an important vehicle component to be replaced. When I did some research online, I found that many people have reported the same issue for Camry 2007 or later models. This does sound like a defective part installed by Toyota. I will really appreciate if you could take some action to investigate about the structs being used by Toyota for Camry models.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. While driving at approximately 60 MPH, there was an abnormal noise coming from the front passenger side tire and the steering wheel vibrated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the tires needed to be balanced. As a result, the transmission and the front wheel bearing was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 114,000.
At 70K mls vehicle was loosing precise steering and experienced some "bouncing" on uneven surfaces due to all 4 struts leaking especially the front ones. Dealer replaced all 4 (11/25/14) and 30K later (05/20/20015) two front ones showed the leak again and had to be replaced. In both cases the replacement parts were OEM ones. I opened case with Toyota (1605180624) and was told that such issue was normal and it was nothing they were going to do.
I was driving the car down a lane where the car shifted to the right where I damages my bumper suspension and axel I thought it was my fault paid the damages out of pocket and while repaired the mechanics had no clue to the reason why this happen the did say it could have been a manufacture defect.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. A technician informed the contact that the front struts on the vehicle were leaking. The dealer stated that the struts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 28,221.
I brought my 2010 Camry into Toyota for them to check out my struts. I was informed they were leaking when I had my brakes done. Toyotas mechanic and service rep both agreed all 4 struts needed to be replaced due to leakage and they both also agreed they had never seen all 4 struts go at the same time and at a low mileage (39K). I checked with several other mechanics, as well as other car dealerships (not Toyota), and all agreed....4 struts needing replacing at 39K was not normal wear and tear! Of course, my warranty ran out approx. 6months and 3K miles ago. I am sure the struts were leaking then, but I wasn't made aware until after the warranty expired. Toyota offered to help with the cost ,but the total bill is so high it is just a drop in the bucket. I feel this is their problem and they should do the right thing and replace all 4 struts at no charge to me. …
My car has been making noises for a while...in the front when I would go over a bump it would sound like the front end was bouncing, the other noise is a thunk in the back when I would go over a bump or down a driveway. I just recently had my oil changed at a Toyota dealer and asked them to look at the problem. They said my front strut should be replaced and that it would not be covered under warranty because it expired at 36,000 miles. Today I just went to Firestone to have my tires rotated (I had to purchase new tires a while back {around 20,000 miles} because of cupping from my original tires, which Toyota also claimed no responsibility) and they stated that I need all four struts replaced because they are all leaking. …
At 46,000 miles I had problems with road noise, so I took my car into the Toyota dealership ( richardson Toyota in richardson, texas) and had them look at what was causing the noise. They told me that it was a tire problem, they rotated them told me everything was okay. Then about a couple of months later I took it in to have the tires rotated again, I went to tire shop in mckinney, texas rather than going to the dealer. They asked me to come out and look at the struts and the tires. The tires were cupping because the struts were leaking so badly they weren't keeping the front end level. I then called the dealer and took the car in for the problem, which upon arrival was told the struts were fine, and that Toyota said the leakage was acceptable from between 10-15%. They recommended new tires and if I wanted to replace the struts they would do it for about $1,000 to $1,200 w/out tires. …
The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic sometime in 2012 for an unrelated issue when the contact was advised that the struts/shocks were leaking oil and should be replaced by Toyota before warranty expired. I was told by independence mechanic that the struts oil leaking problem is very common to the newer Camry (2010 model) and it could be a safety issue. I toke the vehicle to a Toyota dealer to show them the problem. After the dealer inspected the struts, they told me that it is "normal oil evaporation" so the struts will not be covered by warranty. When oil is leaked out of a "o ring" from strut casing/housing, it is a leak, and it is not "normal evaporation". Is Toyota playing game word game ("normal evaporation") to avoid warranty cover to it customers (because too many 2010 cars having oil leaking problem)? Would it be a safety issue later on?
