| I am writing about the prevalent problem of leaking struts on toyota camry 2009. in sept of 2012 i took my car to a mechanic for a oil change and multi point inspection and i was told that my car front struts were leaking. the car had approximately 30,000 miles on it at the time . i normally have my tires balanced and rotated every 6 to 7,000 miles and noticed very heavy wearing of the tire. i took it to a auto repair shop and i was informed the struts should not leak at few such a low mileage. when called the toyota customer service i was told it was out of warranty as 3 years passed. i understand as per the conversation that toyota is completely aware of the problem and chooses to ignore it. this problem should be subject to a recall as it endangers people lives . *tr | |||

| In may of 2012, i took my car to the toyota dealer because another mechanic told me the struts were leaking. the car had approximately 37,000 miles on it at the time and new tires. i took it to avondale toyota and they told me that all struts experienced small leakage and it was no problem. i normally have my tires balanced and rotated every 6-7,000 miles and noticed recently that the interior tread on the tires was wearing excessively. i took it to an independent reputable auto repair shop that i have used for years and they told me that an alignment would only be a temporary fix since the struts were leaking and the cause of the uneven wear on the tires. i then called avondale toyota and asked if there was a technical service bulletin for this problem. she said no after talking to a service representative and i then told her that i had t-sb-0145-11 in my hand. i made an appointment and arrived to talk to dexter a service employee and he said there was nothing he could do about it since it was over the 36,000 miles. i have discussed this with several mechanics and they all informed me that struts should not leak at those few highway miles and the only way to fix the problem is to put new struts on the car. i have driven inifiniti and acura vehicles over 130,000 each and not replaced the struts. i know toyota is completely aware of the problem and chooses to ignore it. this problem should be subject to a recall as it can endanger lives because of the tire wear problem. i checked on the internet and there are numerous complaints about the same problem. *tr | |||

| Struts on my 2009 camry starting leaking around 30000 miles. since the car is under warranty, toyota dealer checked them out in september 2011 and indicated that a small amount of leak is normal and struts need not be replaced. now (november 18, 2012) i have 45,000 miles on my car (out of warranty) and a mechanic checked the struts out and indicated that all four struts are leaking very badly and must be replaced. this is premature failure and toyota shold replace struts on 2009 camrys without charge. | |||

| Was having the oil changed when i was informed the struts on the vehicle were leaking. 30,000 miles on the vehicle. i was told that the cost to replace the struts would be $1671.55. i called toyota customer service to file a complaint. i was told the car was out of warranty and there is nothing they would or could do. it appears this is a standard problem on these automobiles and toyota refuses to do anything about it. the situation is getting worse now. i really worry about the safety of the car and will be getting rid of it asap. i will never purchase anther toyota and will inform everyone i know of the issue. i have no confidence toyota will do anything t0 resolve this without legal intervention. they refuse to do anything for me because the car was out of warranty even though it only has 30000 miles on it. | |||

| 2009 camry i bought a used camry 2009 with 64,000 miles on it. i noticed that while making a turn, both right and left axles were creating sound. then i called toyota's customer relations dept. around nov 11th and reported this matter to them. they gave to me the complaint # 0911116335. they advised me to go to the local dealer. i took the car to the local dealer on dec.3,2009 and a mechanic rode with me in the car and agreed that both axles are bad. i left the car with the dealer to confirm this problem. when i picked up the car, they charged me $ 50.00 for inspection and wrote the report that only left axel was bad. as i have already pointed out, mechanic had already confirmed that both axles were bad. it appears that to 'tone down' this defect, toyota home office advised the dealer to report that only one axel was bad. dealer's estimate for replacing one axel was around $ 900.00 after 10% discount on the parts. i understand that there may be only few 2009 camrys which would have 64,000 miles on them. i request you to register my complaint and look for other 2009 camry users to report this problem. another problem i have noticed is the similar brake problem that toyota has in prius models. when applying brakes on a slippery condition, car does not stop for few feet. please also investigate this matter. *tr | |||
