Consumer Description

I PURCHASED CAR NEW AND DRIVE BELT BEGAN SQUEALING AT 22,000 MILES. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO TOOK IN TO HAVE FIXED AND THEY ONLY REPLACED THE BELT. NOW AT 45,000 DOING IT AGAIN. TOYOTA HAS BULLETIN TO REPLACE TENSIONER ARM BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY GO BAD. TENSIONER ARM IS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSING BELT TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. I HAVE HEARD OTHER COROLLA OWNERS HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE W/THEIR CAR. IT'S UNFAIR THAT A PART IS DEFECTIVE AND ALL CAR OWNERS HAVE TO PAY THE $350 TO HAVE CORRECTED. THERE WASN'T AN INCIDENT/ACCIDENT BUT I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW. THANK YOU. *TR
