Consumer Description

SINCE ABOUT 40K MILES, THE FRONT END STARTED CLUNKING OVER POTHOLES, LIKE IT WAS METAL HITTING METAL; NOW AT OVER 80K THEY BOTH CLUNK. ONE MECHANIC SAID STRUTS WERE GONE, AND ANOTHER THE BUSHINGS FAILED. A MAJOR SUSPENSION COMPONENT, WHICH I SUSPECT IS A BUSHING FROM THE SOUND, SHOULD NOT FAIL AT 40K-AND I AM SIMPLY HOPING FOR A RECALL, AS THIS ALSO INTERFERES WITH SAFE HANDLING AND CAUSES CAR TO WOBBLE ACROSS ROUGH ROADS. ONE DEALER SAID HAVE ZONE PERSON LOOK AT-BUT I BELIEVE THE DEFECT IS WIDESPREAD, AND SO THEY ARE TREATING AS A CASE-BY-CASE SITUATION. IT IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM IN MANUFACTURE. HAD A TOYOTA BEFORE-NO MAJOR ISSUES EVEN AT 237K!! *TR
