| Description of the problem | Turn corner and hear a big "clunk" and later find a piece fall off my vehicle - stop and find out that it is part of the coil spring. I bring the broken off part into local toyota dealer and the "service specialist" at the corwin toyota dealer said - "let me guess, camry..." i asked why she said camry- she told me that they only have had issues with camry coil springs and no other vehicles have had this issue. I asked if there was any warranty or recall on the item and she said "no". My car has only 77,000 miles on it and this is one thing that should not be breaking on a newer car. I would understand it if i were driving through fields / crap roads but i am not. The fact that the lady at the toyota dealer said that camry vehicles are the only vehicles that they experience this issues with is also a "red flag" to me! Is it another thing that toyota is aware of (this dealership is aware by the sounds of it) and is ignoring the problem or is it an issue that has yet to be brought up to corporate mechanics/safety specialists... *js |
