Nothing has happened yet other than I think this has caused my tires to wear prematurely and am worried this repair is taking extremely long to get repaired. I need new tires and alignment but will need another when my repair gets done. I think Toyota should repair and replace alignment and tires for free. Tires did not wear even. Found out from dealer new tires are required. 6/32 outer edge of tire and center of tire but 2/32 on inner edge of tire.

I have taken my 1 month certified newly purchased vehicle for what I describe as brakes/suspension problems. According to the dealership, they cannot find any problems with the car. I have already stated that I drive with my grandkids in the car. They seem to ignore and find nothing wrong with the vehicle. I feel there is definitely a safety issue!
