| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving about 30 mile per hour when my brake started to vibrate violently. after carefully inspected, i found that three studs were broken, two from the front left and one from the front right. a friend of mine, an auto mechanic, said that the studs might have been broken due to uneven wear of the rotors and loosen of the nuts. well, i have been complaining about my rotors warping too fast to the dealer, but i was told that brake system is not covered by the warranty. i brought this problem up several time, but the same thing answer was given to me. recently, i went back to the dealer and told the service manager about the incident. there i found out that all the complaints i made to the service department were not documented. i was told that they only documented if work orders were written. that means i have to pay them to document. the manager said he may considered replacing my brake system if the problem was documented before. toyota has heard and read hundreds of complaints about this brake problem. this problem is a safety issue and it should not be ignored. *nm |
