Replying to: duck928 (Sep 15, 2009 5:28 pm) I replaced all 4 struts on my 1998 Camry. Noise went away for a short time,, It is starting to come back, put not as bad. The noise is coming from the rear of the car. Could it be the rear springs are weak or the rear bushing need changed? Replies to this message: busterbunny (Oct 28, 2009 7:14 am)
#95 of 109 All 4 struts found leaking on 2009 Camry Hybrid at 36013 miles by ben_ca Oct 27, 2009 (10:45 pm)
Went to the dealership for basic oil change yesterday morning for my 2009 Camry Hybrid. The dealership found that ALL 4 struts are leaking and need to be replaced. The leaking oil past the spring base. The costs to replace the structs are $550 for the front and $680 for the rear struts. They told me that the car is out of warranty since it has 36013 miles, which is 13 miles over and that I only did the basic oil change. I was very upset. I thought Toyota is reliable and that the struts should last more than 80K. And I thought my car is still under warranty. I argued with them that the leaking must have started before 36K since all 4 struts are leaking now. They told me that Toyota is very strict on their warranty mileage and my car is 13 miles over and there is nothing they can do. I am very upset with the dealership. I really don't believe that I should pay to replace the struts. Please let me know if anyone has the similar experience and how to resolve it.

Replying to: duck928 (Oct 27, 2009 8:12 pm) It's the struts mounts. I've used to have a 97 camry, and i had noise on mine too. Replaced the strut mounts, noise went away.

Replying to: ben_ca (Oct 27, 2009 10:45 pm) Like my last posting on here. I also have a 2007 Camry LE, I've replaced total of 5 struts alrealdy. Toyota says that it's normal. Then how the "hel" would you know the struts are bad until the tires are wearing. I think it's a defect in the struts. Just owners are not paying attention to it until it's too late. I'm going to try to bring my case to a couple of agencys. Let see what they can do. Try calling Toyota to see what they can do for you. Doesn't hurt to try it out.

Replying to: ben_ca (Oct 27, 2009 10:45 pm) "They told me that Toyota is very strict on their warranty mileage and my car is 13 miles over and there is nothing they can do."   That is not true - they should have told you what I will tell you:   I bet you that if you call Toyota directly and nicely explain the situation that they will cover it under warranty. I did this about 5 years ago and they very nicely covered a seat belt button that was sticking down - it was about 3 months past the warranty. Toyota will call the dealer and give them authorization.   Also, how many miles did your car have on it when you took delivery? I bet at least 5, could be more than 13, so that's another good "argument" point.   After you get this covered, I'd have a talk with the Service Manager and/or the General Manger of the dealer.

Replying to: mcdawgg (Oct 28, 2009 8:32 am) I called the Toyota Customer Experience and opened the case with them. I explained my situation to the agent on the phone. He said that Toyota will cover it under warranty. After that I called the dealership again. At first,the service person still told me that it is not covered. Then I escalated it to the service manager and told them that I opened the case already and that Toyota agreed it should be covered. They finally backed down and told me to bring in the car and they will fix it. I think that the toyota struts definitely are defected. If you have a Toyota camry, please have them inspected before the warranty expires. Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Oct 29, 2009 8:22 am)

Replying to: ben_ca (Oct 28, 2009 10:59 pm) Great, just as I expected. Now ask yourself why your dealer didn't know that, or maybe they didn't want you to know that? I'd really be suspicious of ANYTHING your dealer tells you!! If you can, go to a different one.   My '07 struts are not leaking, but I will keep an eye on them.   You can send a thank-you check to me at....

Replying to: busterbunny (Sep 30, 2009 7:26 am) I have an '08 XLE with just under 54K miles and was just told I have a leaking rear strut - the dealer is going to charge me more than $500 to fix it!!! When I stated that it seemed early for the struts to be having a problem, I was met with complete indifference. Any luck with the New Motor Vehicle Board?   And before that, I reported problems with the transmission shifting - also to be told it was "typical" and thanks to this site, have discovered that there is a technical bulletin that I can walk in with and make them fix that problem at least.   Anyone have problems with their passenger seat belts not working properly? In response to this complaint, all they did was lube it...
