My mechanic showed me all 4 struts(f&r) are leaking too much and that they have to be replaced. I called manhattan beach toyota and they said it is not covered under any recall or warranty & it will cost over $1400.00 to replace. It took the mechanic over hours to complete replacing all 4 struts. I am really shocked by this finding, it shouldn't have happened, and toyota should take care of this problem. *tr
