2007 Toyota RAV4 Wheels Problems

“I bought the car 3 months ago from price auto. The tires wee fine at that point although after about 30 days I noticed the driver rear tiire was wearing a lot and the passenger rear was wearing also so I decided to buy new tires 4 of them from tire warehouse.

The rear alignment has to e sealed shut after initial adjustment or it could come loose and a bad accident could happen. …”

After checking the tires and replacing the valve stems, my mechanic used the soapy water test to determine that the wheels themselves are so rusted that they are letting air escape. The lip of all four wheels are rusted to the point where the rust is flaking off. …”

“In late summer/early fall 2016 my 2007 Toyota RAV4 began experiencing rear suspension, alignment, and tire wear problems associated with the Toyota recall at the time, although my car was not included in the recall. When my mechanic examined the car, he said it made no sense that Toyota's solution in their second suspension recall was to epoxy pieces in place and not allow the vehicle's suspension to adjust to movement on the road while driving. I had to argue with the dealership who sold the car to get them to make the proper repairs (perform the recall work on my car) at no charge to me. …”
