I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE STREET WHEN I GOT HIT BY A CAR TRAVELING OPPOSITE DIRECTION, PERSON HIT NE ON A GREEN LIGHT BUT BESUDES THAT MY SYSPENSION BRAKES AND TIRES NOT SITTING RIGHT, I ALSO I HEAR CHAINS THE CAR DOESNT DRIVE STRAIGHT AND CAR SEEMS LOPSIDED WHEN DRIVEN AND BREAKS SQUEEL
THE WHEEL COVERS ON THE 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA COME OFF WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION IN HIGHWAY DRIVING AND FLY INTO OTHER CARS. WE HAVE LOST 3 WHEEL COVERS TO DATE. THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THEY FLY OFF. MANY OTHER TOYOTA CARS WITH WHEEL COVERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE WHEEL COVER HAVE FLOWN OFF ON MULTIPLY DATES.
REAR WHEEL BEARINGS FAILURE (SAFETY DEFECT) -- 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. EXCERPTS FROM MY E-MAIL TO TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A. INC. FOLLOW: "THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS RECENTLY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE REAR HUB AXLE BEARINGS DUE TO A HUMMING NOISE, AT A COST OF OVER $1,000.00. THIS RECOMMENDATION HAS FLOORED ME AS THIS TYPE OF REPAIR FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 90,000 MILES DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE QUALITY STANDARDS PROMULGATED BY TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION. APPARENTLY, THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (NHTSA #10015608) WAS ISSUED." THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER SUBSEQUENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS ISSUE ADDRESSED IN MY E-MAIL ABOVE, CREATING CASE # 1703301220. DESPITE TOYOTA HAVING ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #00105 ON THIS VERY MATTER, THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE AT THE CUSTOMER CENTER CLEARLY STATED IN A SUBSEQUENT PHONE CALL THERE IS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE, NO CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION, AND NO-RECALL ISSUED. AFTER...
GOT INTO WHAT COULD'VE BEEN A MINOR ACCIDENT, BUT THE CAR WAS TOTALED, HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT EVEN DEPLOY. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, THE SEATBELT WOULD LOCK AT RANDOM TIMES, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS MAKING A U-TURN ON A STATE ROAD. ONCE HIT, THE ENTIRE TIRE WENT UNDER THE CAR AND THE ENTIRE FRONT CAME OFF, WHICH WAS WHY I WAS SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF.
JUST SAW ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT TIRES, I HAVE A TIRE I HAVE TO PUT AIR IN EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. DIDN'T GIVE IT MUCH THOUGHT UNTIL I READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT TIRES. I KNOW I HADN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG, IT HAPPENED TOO FAST. I'VE BEEN FILLING IT WITH AIR NOT THINKING ABOUT IT, BUT NOW I'VE HEARD OTHERS WITH TIRE ISSUES, I THOUGHT I'D BETTER SUBMIT AN INQUIRY. MAY BE TOO LATE FOR ME BECAUSE I'VE NOT ACTED UNTIL NOW, BUT MAY GIVE ASSISTANCE OR LEND CREDENCE TO OTHERS. *TR
