problem #1

Jun 012009

Corolla LE 4.2L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 66,000 miles

I was getting vibration when I drive between 60 - 70 miles. Whole car just shakes. I went to DCH Freehold toyota in freehold NJ. First time they said wheel balance. I got it done outside. Next they said new tires. I got new tires. Finally they found that there is some issue with differential. They charged me $2400, $800 is just labor.

Vibration was never fixed. I called with in 2 days and they gave appointment after 1 week. In the mean my car just stopped running. I drove back to them. Initially they said alternators are gone. Next day after more investigation found the battery is dead. How can a battery die suddenly while the car is running???

Regarding vibration, As the vibration was still happening now they found that Axel is bad. I need to pay for this. So looking at all these I feel differential was never bad. How can I prove it??? Is there any way I can prove that differential was not the problem for vibration and may get back some money.
