| Description of the problem | I have taken my vehicle to the toyota dealership to look at my rear lower suspension that i have been experiencing a loud abnormal sound when i'm on the road and getting worse and they said there is nothing wrong with my vehicle. Then i get this recall notice to get it checked out and still nothing wrong with it, but i had to put new tires on my vehicle and has caused the inside to be wearing out, on just the inside tire. I took my vehicle where i bought my tires at and they stated that even if i rotate my tires it still will continue to wear out because something is causing to wear them out. I think if something is causing this by a manufacturer problem at least some one should be responsible for this. Please if i can get someone to call me to get this resolved. I don't feel safe driving my vehicle anymore because i feel i could lose of control of my vehicle and have an accident. |
