| Description of the problem | I looked at all the complaints already filed and i have the same thing. My mechanic at a private car service place could not align my tires because there was a permanent fix put in place during a recall notice that i received back in 2014. My mechanic called toyota dealer and asked what could be done and was told that toyota could replace the arms for $1,500. My mechanic said he could do a retro fit for $100 which is what i told him to do. My mechanic was really disgusted about the way this was handled. He said i was really lucky that the wear on my tires had not caused me an accident. I was lucky that i happened to notice that the inside rim of my tires was worn on all 4 tires and went to the service dealer. |
