| Description of the problem | On sunday, may 18, 2014, i started my 2010 toyota camry and my check engine and vehicle stability control lights were on. I had no previous issues with the car. I called the local dealership on monday morning to make an appointment, the first one i could get was just over a week away. I questioned the dealership if my car was safe to drive and they said yes, as long as the vsc light wasn't blinking. My car was checked by the dealership on may 27. I was told my brake actuator had gone out and the repairs were around $2,400 before taxes. The check engine light was from a charcoal canister that needed to be replaced, another $500+. The parts had to be ordered and it was may 30 when my car was ready. When questioning the dealership about why my brake actuator had gone out, they assured me that it was nothing i had done and they said they've had problems with others going out. After searching online i found that other models by toyota have had recalls for the brake actuator. If the company is having problems with the same piece of equipment in other models, the recall should be expanded. Mine was not included in the recall, but it was faulty and failed. After searching, i also found there have been various issues with the charcoal canister as well in various models by the company. Perhaps research should be done on this issue also. My car is 4 years old and when i took it to the shop it had 54,259 miles. I called toyota and they reiterated that my vehicle was not included in any recalls; therefore, at this point toyota could do nothing about the repair. |
