While driving my 2002, (75,000 miles) brakes were not functioning as normal. it was necessary to depress the brake down to the floor. about 15 mins later i noticed the "brake" display lit. i called arlington toyota where i have been a customer for 20 years and advised of them of the problem. i was given an appointment, but decided to cautiously drive to the dealer after # calls. i learned that both my brake line and fuel lines had rusted and were leaking fluid. i commented that i had my car in for brake work many times over the past year +. i spoke to my regular attendant at least 4 times about the brakes. i had brake work done, glazing and other types or brake work. long story, after much shopping around, decision making, . the service manager was assigned to deal with me. originally $2100, then he tony nitty brought it to $1600. finally offered paying $1,000 should have been caught long before my brakes went out while i was driving it as it had been in several time over the past 2+ years for brakes. i rejected the offer as tony had told me he was going to get toyota to pick up the entire $1600. i rejected the offer and he was to give it another shot and to check back on mon. i accepted the offer and it ended up costing me $455.81 i questioned my car being in there 6 times re: brake issues) since 10/2013 and was told it wasn't a problem until there is a "leak". hertz desk manager. told me, it this pblm was known for years. i was scared to death frustrated i became from 6/7/2016 until 6/17/2016. paperwork for this issue goes back to 10/2013 and it appears that the rusting, which doesn't just occur was neglected.. i believe toyota should pick up the entire repair (labor and parts) at the very least. i could have been killed. i believe the ball was dropped by arlington toyota in arlington heights, illinois. i dealt with tony nitty, jeff larsen and mgr sandra pierce.
My camry solara 2004 suddenly stop in the middle of the freeway due to a throttle body failure, thanks god i was able to get to the emergency lane on time and be able to prevent an accident, after an extensive research i find out that this is a common issue with this vehicle and toyota motors so far has ignored this problem. *tr
