“After receiving the computer update my fuel mileage has dropped 10 miles. The other problem in the rate of tire wear and pull. I took the car in for an alignment to a Toyota dealership because it was pulling they told me they did the alignment. After I got my car back it was still pulling I questioned them and they said that was normal. The last thing is I got new tires put on the car and had to replace them 10 months later because there was about 15 percent tread life left. The tires were rotated properly.”
