2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid Suspension Problems

“I have had to replace the tires approx every 20,000 miles. Type and make of tire do not seem to make a difference. I have rotated and aligned it every 5k miles. Tires get worn on the inside very quickly, no adjustment by the alignment shops seem to make any difference.”

“Struts leaked at 50k. Toyota refused and said it was normal for struts to leak, dealership treated me rudely though I was informed by two mechanics to have them fix the issue. Called customer care and requested they step in, all 4 struts are broken, they offered to fix two. I purchased the top of the line extended care warranty, still no resolve. The car was in the Toyota dealer 12 days before the warranty expired with no mention of this, a load of other issues none fixed. Two weeks after warranty expired it needs new front struts. …”

“My brakes failed the first time on 1/29/14 on my way to work. Luckily, I wasn't going too fast, which allowed me to safely pull over onto one of the side streets. My car displayed the error message: check vsc system. I called aaa, and one of their tow truck drivers suggested that rather than taking my car to the dealership, I use a different place (which he claimed was aaa approved; it wasn't). Nearly $500 later ($472.94 to be exact), my car seemed fine for about a month. Then on 2/26/14, this time while driving on the interstate, my brakes failed again. …”

“I took my vehicle into the shop to have an alignment done on the vehicle. Turns out all 4 struts are leaking. I have spoken to several mechanics the like of goodyear, american tire company, and even the Toyota dealer and they told me themselves that this is a common problem. Speaking to several different camry owners, 50 percent of them have replaced the struts as well. This should be a recall and I just don't think owners are aware of the sizeable problem regarding the struts. If mechanics themselves are telling me this is a regular problem, why isn't Toyota.”

“Went to have my tires rotated and found that all 4 of the struts on the car are leaking. Since this car is only 4 years old and 56k in miles these struts should not be leaking. This is a manufacture defect but Toyota does not replace/repair these except at full cost.”
