| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 toyota camry and have had a few serious problems that were never recognized by the toyota dealer which i always serviced the car. They range from small to serious. Front struts seem to be leaking hydraulic fluid, i also complained about a steering problem to the dealer, they inspected the car and told me they found nothing wrong. The steering issue was very apparent, and now has gotten worse. When cornering at low or higher speeds the car seems to skip, and controlling the car gets much more difficult, which becomes a serious safety issue for me. There where service bulletins available for these issues but yet my car was never repaired. Another issue i have noticed has been with braking, the car will vibrate dramatically once brakes are applied. The brakes have been replaced and rotors have been cut 5 months ago. The car has new tires and has been aligned in the past 6 months as requested by the toyota dealer, yet the steering problems persist. I feel very unsafe driving this car, in back of my mind i feel like something serious might happen every time i get in this car and drive it. I have no confidence driving this car. |
