| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2011 camry sle used through the toyota dealer in jan. 2014, my vehicle i have owned for just over a year before i noticed this issue. I had brand new tires put on the car immediately after purchasing. Now, a year later, i feel a vibration in the steering wheel when driving at higher speeds of 55-70mph. I took my car in to have the tires checked where i purchased them and was informed that my front struts were leaking causing the vibration and my tires to wear uneven (high/low spots in all tires). I brought my car to toyota (after having been there the week before for a service) and was told they were only leaking slightly and they were not required to replace them with the amount leaking. I was never informed of any leaking issues at my service and it was even noted that they were checked and fine. I replaced the front two tires again a bout a month ago thinking it might solve the problem but there is still a vibration and noise coming from the front end. I was informed by another mechanic that they typically get replaced at $70,000 but seems like there is an issue with them and that i should return to the dealer to have them replaced since they are under warranty. |
