| Description of the problem | This is not fair to consumer: suddenly my toyota camry 2007 has suspension leak (struts) at both front and rear at level 2 (per the inspection of regular vehicle maintenance at a toyota dealer). They asks for 1700 usd to fix these. I know that i keep the car very good, no accident, not a minor accident; and the last maintenance only a few months before from also the toyota dealer, they check green mark at suspension. So why suddenly the car has issue with both front and rear of suspension leak (struts) at level 2? I searched the internet, and found out that it looks like toyota has this issue already in the car but with less severe level, and so there is no warning to the consumer/buyer. Now, after a few years of purchasing, the suspension leak become severe up to the level they ask the consumer to pay to fix, that is not a honest business. This should be a recall! |
