Consumer Description

MY CAR IS MAKING THE "GROWLING" NOISE DESCRIBED IN TOYOTA'S WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT AND TOYOTA WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT THE CAR SHAKES AT SPEEDS MORE THAN 40 MPH, SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS A FLAT EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T (LOUDER WHEN MAKING TURNS AND SWITCHING LANES), AND MAKES A BANGING NOISE IN THE REAR (SOUNDS LIKE A CAR DOOR SLAMMING) WHEN DRIVING. VISOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP--FALLS AND OBSTRUCTS VIEW WHILE DRIVING.
