Description of the problem | On friday the 20th of september, i took my vehicle to queensboro toyota in ny to change my oil and check why my brake abs signal hazard lights were on. The oil was changed and i was told "nothing is wrong with your brakes" and the signal was removed. On september 24th, i almost got into an accident because my brakes failed on me, so i returned the vehicle for a 2nd diagnostic. I was then told "who ever changed your oil, they put the wrong brake fluid and it damaged the brake system. My brake fluid was never changed because i have a 2012 new car and it is unnecessary to change it now. I tried explaining my issue to the supervisor of the toyota service department and i was told to do my own investigation on the contamination of my brake fluid. The history of the vehicle shows queensboro toyota performed my maintence, so i hold them responsible. Please help me, i am an honest consumer who can't afford to spend unnecessary funds for an issue toyota can resolve that almost caused me an accident with my 3 daughters on the highway. |
