| Description of the problem | At 46,000 miles i had problems with road noise, so i took my car into the toyota dealership ( richardson toyota in richardson, texas) and had them look at what was causing the noise. They told me that it was a tire problem, they rotated them told me everything was okay. Then about a couple of months later i took it in to have the tires rotated again, i went to tire shop in mckinney, texas rather than going to the dealer. They asked me to come out and look at the struts and the tires. The tires were cupping because the struts were leaking so badly they weren't keeping the front end level. I then called the dealer and took the car in for the problem, which upon arrival was told the struts were fine, and that toyota said the leakage was acceptable from between 10-15%. They recommended new tires and if i wanted to replace the struts they would do it for about $1,000 to $1,200 w/out tires. My car was a certified toyota which they wouldn't cover any strut replacement. I told them why would i buy the same toyota parts and have the same problem in another 35-40k miles. It was very disappointing for someone who sold toyota's for 3 years. |
