| Description of the problem | Brought to mechanic and been advised that the front passenger side strut is leaking. Mechanic also told us he saw two other similar cases for 2009 camry, and advise us to contact toyota. Toyota was aware of the failure but no safety issue and not under warranty item. Our mechanic stated for safety, front strut coil, spring and mount should be replaced. I am sure toyota know the current issue of this design fault; but the replacement parts and recalls will be expensive to them. But for long term, my mechanic told me the leaking will create safety issue. Approximate miles: 40200. |
