Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY ORDINARY DAY MY CAR BEGAN MAKING LOUD NOISES IN THE FRONT AND MADE THE CAR FEEL AS THOUGH IT'S JERKING WHEN I BRAKE. MY HUSBAND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAID HE COULD SEE A BOLT THAT LOOKS RUSTY AND "THE TOP IS GONE." I TOOK MY CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE #2 CONTROL ARM BOLT HEAD WAS BROKEN FROM THE LEFT FRONT TO LOWER SUB FRAME. AFTER LOOKING FOR THE PART ONLINE MY SEARCH RESULTS WERE MAINLY OTHER SCION OWNERS WHO WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING UNFORTUNATELY. *TR
