| Description of the problem | I had two auto repair shops tell me that my ball joints were bad i went to haddad toyota to have them checked haddad toyota told me there was nothing wrong with the ball joints. I then proceeded to have new tires put on because of excessive wear at the time the tire store said you have to replace your vball joints so at a cost of 500 dollars i had them replaced when the first recall came out after i had the joints replace i sent al,l the information to toyota for refund of my money. They said because i had the replacement done by someone other than toyota i could not get my money . Is there any way i can recover the money i spent after toyota denied there was anything wrong with the ball joints? |
