The Cross- Caster Defect: "A comparative analysis of two alignment sheets proves a structural suspension failure. On June 4, 2026, the vehicle's left front caster was at a factory-healthy 5.9 Following a tire blow out/tire failure just three weeks later the left front caster dropped to 5.6. This creates a severe 0.5 cross-caster split between the left and right front wheels." The Unadjustable Failure: "Front caster is a non-adjustable factory setting on the Toyota GR86. This unadjustable 0.3 shift in geometry is absolute mathematical proof of a bent, cracked, or structurally fatigued suspension component or subframe on the front driver's side." The Safety Threat: Because a structural component is shifting dynamically under load, the vehicle sways, wanders unpredictably, and wobbles at highway speeds, nearly causing a catastrophic multi-vehicle accident on an I-95 bridge. The dealership has failed to diagnose this structural damage, attempting multiple alignments in 34 days, and has attempted to release an unstable, unsafe vehicle back to the consumer." The dealership continues to do alignments -trying to adjust the toe (steer angle) to compensate for a bent structural frame or suspension part, which is physically impossible. On June 25. 2026- one light was on, on my dash the orange exclamation point. I have replaced all 4 tires since then w factory spec. My car has no lights on, on the dash however it is unsafe to drive until Toyota fixes it. It is going on 2 months now, multiple alignments, have been to 2 different Toyota dealerships and 3 different occasions I have rented cars. Very stressful situation. The service advisor says my car just has a little wobble. My car is a brand-new Toyota GR86 it should not wobble at all. But its far worse than that when I drive 2 hours a day. It is very scary and unsafe to drive. I refuse to drive it until it is fixed. Towed to the Toyota dealership in Brunswick on July 29, 2026, waiting on regional field technician to inspect.
