| Description of the problem | I started complaining about the scrubbing noise that the brakes had started making ,so they replaced the brakes and only charged forty dollars. So on july of the same year, the car started making the scrubbing noise again, so again they replaced them again,it lasted for about a year, and the scrubbing noise came back. The car was once again looked at and the mechanic said that there was a piece by the brake that had rusted together so for this car to be new, why were there parts rusting ,maybe it was sitting in water i asked, so the general manager was bought out because i just could not see paying what they said the cost was but being a woman i think that they pulled a fast one on me and the repair was something like seven hundred dollars. I think that lasted for a couple of years so when it came back i took it to goodyear and the mechanic said that the rotors were down and needed to be replaced. To make a long story short i just shelled out two-thousand- twenty two dollars for rotors and other repairs that the toyota company said they had done and didn't do at all. |
