| Description of the problem | About 1 year after i purchased my car brand new off of the lot i started to notice my brakes starting to rub and squeak. If i was going down hill the front of my car would shake. It was terrifying. I took it to the maita toyota delarship in sacramento. They told me nothing is wrong my pads are still good. I begged them to fix them they replaced my front rotors and break pads. This dealership also performed a engine cleaning and multiple other things they said my car needed at that time running me 795$ this being on july 11th 2018. Then today sept 6th 2018. My starter is out my car no longer starts. When you turn the key all of the inside lights come on and all you hear is a clicking sound. Mind you i also had a chip in my windshield when i took my car in for inspection in july and they placed green check mark's on everything including my windshield being free from chips. I now question the integrity of this dealerships service department. Do they truly inspect and do the work on your car? Because from where i am seeing this at sitting here with a year old car in my parking lot currently not driveable i begin to wonder if they do. I should not be having these types of problems with a 2017 toyota car that was purchased brand new. |
