| Description of the problem | They did a recall on my vehicle and it was about a bolt rusting on the backend near the rear tire so the fix was to protect a bolt. They put some bar on the back side near the rear tire that made it where i have not been able to get my back end of the car aligned since. Causing my tires to keep getting bubbles in them. This happens to every set i get and i have been told that they cannot fix the rear alignment because of the recall. This fight has gone on for years. All toyota says is they were only required to fix the recall .... In other words they do not care about the alignment issue. Please help me. I have the report from the last attempted alignment showing how out of alignment the vehicle is. |
