| Description of the problem | A low noise like the vehicle was being driven in a lower gear than drive. The vehicle was taken to david maus toyota. The service advisor stated the right front wheel bearing and hub were bad. I questioned a wheel bearing going out at 14000 miles. The service advisor said we should drive the car more. I contacted the toyota distributor who contacted the toyota service rep. The service rep said due to age toyota would not repair it. He further stated that the car should be driven more. I took the car to phillips toyota in leesburg, florida. They checked the vehicle and found both front wheel bearings and one front hub bad. They replaced both bearings and a hub. Since this did not sound like a wheel bearing had it not been found, it could have caused the front wheels to lock up which could have resulted in an accident. There is no mention in any of toyota's material telling the customer that they should drive the vehicle a specified number of miles during a certain time period. *js |
