problem #1

Sep 042012

4Runner SR5

  • Automatic transmission
  • 86,546 miles

I needed front brake and rotors, rear brakes pads, calipers. Since we drive in a rural area with minimal brake use I was greatly surprised to hear this problem at only 65,00 miles. I have owned other vehicles (I am 55 year old) and never had problems this soon on other brands. The calipers also needed changing and that was covered under warranty. Now I go in for 85,00 mile check up, and guess what, my rear brakes are not touching the rotors. The toyota repair company stated if we had them done right and checked by a them this would not have happened. As soon as I stated that they did the work everyone shut up They then explained that they had a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty work. Guess what is has been 14 months. Well pads are good, but now they have to clean the rotors and charge me $184. That is the cheap part, because they also found I have a bad front wheel bearings, cost to repairs $1100. Along with general tune up and other work has added another $800. I am into $3000 work on a 4 yr old vehicle with less than 90,000. I am trading this vehicle in and it will not be for a toyota. My first and last vehicle from you and that dealer/repair shop.
