| Description of the problem | I found out my camry le 2009 had leaking oil on all 4 struts near 40000 miles. It must have been leaking before my warranty expired but didn't notice until an oil change after the warranty expiration. I called toyota and let them know during the summer of 2012, but the toyota call center told me that they never had a complaint with the struts. Now my car is over 64000 miles and i found out about this web site to report this incident. Toyota should do the recall. I am the only driver of my car and i rarely have any passengers in my car and use the car for going to work on a mostly highway driving course. Toyota should definitely have a recall for this since i've seen many complaints about the leaking struts. |
