problem #1

Matrix 4WD

  • Automatic transmission

I had a flat tire and changed it but when I took off the tire the brake drum came off with the rim. I put on the spare and the next day driving to discount tires in lynnwood on the freeway I had no brakes, the brake fluid had leaked out. I had the car towed to magic Toyota in edmonds and they said it was my fault because I should have known and that it " sometimes happens." I have never heard of it happening and not being a mechanic I had no idea, other mechanics I have talked to say it should not have happened. Toyota refused to cover brake repair under warranty.
