Example complaints

“4 tires worn out about 28000 miles. I had to replace them this is because of suspension system problem that wears out the tires very fast. Having wheel alignment does not solve the problem. I have aligned the wheels and still have wearing problem with new tires. I believe that Toyota should fix this problem and compensate the loss.”
NHTSA complaint #10443761, filed 2012-01, 28,000 miles“The right front spring failed. It snapped close to one end, leaving a jagged point. My mechanic said that this could be disastrous if this jagged point came in contact with the tire, especially at highway speed. I contacted Toyota customer service and was told that since the car was out of warranty, they would not help me with any repair. A failure to a part such as this is either a defect, or a gross engineering error.”
NHTSA complaint #10606435, filed 2014-06, 36,902 miles“I bought this Camry 08 last year at 43000 miles on it, when I drive it on the freeway or city road , the front end was bounce exessively and not really stable. After I do the inspection and check the strut, the front right strut need replacement (it's bouncing a lot when I push it down and release). My complaint is why it fail for only 45000 miles?. Is this suppose to be a recall for replacement?. Because it involve safety driving. And I read, there 30 complaints already about this suspension.”
NHTSA complaint #10810828, filed 2015-12, 44,000 miles“I recently purchase a 2008 Toyota Camry se. Soon after I bought the car from Toyota of sanford, located in nc, I notice my tires were cupping and making a lot of noise. I bought new tires and the noise stopped. Just recently I took the car to midas to have a brake job. While the mechanic had the car on the lift, he observed that the rear struts were leaking fluid and advised me to contact Toyota. Upon further investigation, I have found that there are many of these new camrys with the same problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10402281, filed 2011-05, 51,000 miles“I took my 2008 Toyota Camry to wal-mart just to have tire rotated, on 7-2-2013 I was told the tires on the rear were really bad rounded off with bumps on tires, I was told that the rear suspension was bad, and that had caused the belts to brake inside my tires. I had taken my car to scott Toyota in jasper al 1 year before this and had it alignment. I still have my paperwork. I have notice something wrong with the way it handled for a long time. Also the sunroof has leaked like a waterfall ever since I bought it. But Toyota says it's not there problem. …”
