| Description of the problem | Our family bought a 2012 toyota camry in about early april the year of 2012 . A few months later we started to notice noise. Considering a brand new car we had purchased. It was in our concern to why this was happening. We get everything done from the dealer located in lincolnwood, il. From where we had purchased the vehicle. We took the car to the same dealer multiple times with the same concern. We were told that the vehicle was fine, but oddly the noise was constant even after a visit at the dealers. This visit we had done was not just once but many times, receiving the same answer. What upsets me is that after my warranty was over. Suddenly the dealer knew the solution to the problem i was constantly verifying them about earlier. Which summed up to about three thousand dollars. I, who is refusing to pay this. This car started giving me problems from day one. What i can conclude from this is, that the car itself is a defect. The dealer told our family to call the manufactures and let them know, because this car could have been a defect from beginning, when purchased. The dealer says, the problem in the car is " brake actuator booster assembly." |
