| Description of the problem | On 08/05/2006 i was driving my new 2007 toyota camry on the freeway at 3:00 am then my car dropped to the ground i could see the tire was passing us. Slowly i moved the car to the emergency lane. After checking i saw the rear left tire had broken from the axle. Toyota does not cover. They are playing with me saying some body will come after two weeks to inspect my car, then they change within one month. I do not know what to do. I am sure that is manufacturer's defect and they have to be very serious. I and my family were lucky that happened at night when no car was behind us, otherwise they could have been killed. Now i do not know what to do. *jb |
