| Description of the problem | We dropped off our 08 rav 4 at the dealer due to (faulty recall rear tie rod repairs done in 2013.) i put a new set of expensive tires. Now at approx 34,000 miles now i notices extreme wearing prematurely with possible safety concerns. Our repair shop said the (rear suspension tie rods) can not be adjusted due to toyota's (recall rear tie rods epoxy glue!) this means wheel alignment can not be properly. However, while driving on city streets or the highway you heard rumbling tire noises. |
