“Control arm bushings. They were making sounds. Was told by wappingers falls Toyota previously that these parts or fine and it was a normal sound this problem has been going on for over a year,. I finally took it to a different dealership and they are correcting the problem by replacing lower control arms. However I cannot understand I'm a car this new needed to be brought in to have control arms replaced. At only 40000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10968410, filed 2017-03, 40,000 miles“While parking in a carport, I will use the brake to slowly enter and park. As I was straightening out the car, the car excellerated and hit a pole, bouncing back and forth. It caused major damage. I am wondering if there was something wrong with the car or my wearing flip-flops may have caused this accident. (note: this was a loaner car from Toyota while I waited 5 months to get my 2009 Corolla xle airbag replacement. The replacement part showed up the very next day after my accident)”
