Both the left and right front suspension control arms makes a squeak noise. This condition occurs when driving over speed bumps and uneven surfaces. I showed this to Toyota service on December 2019 when first started but they couldn't find the problem. Then showed it to different Toyota services in 2020, and they couldn't find it either. I thought it was the suspension springs, so I replaced it but still the squeaky noise wasn't resolved. Recently I researched the problem and so many people are having the same issue and I found the attached bulletin, but the Toyota service workers never seen this and Toyota never informed me of the bulletin. Please this should be a recall and not a bulletin. To this day, the squeaky noise is a lot louder than in 2019. Please help.

At 60,00 miles I started hearing noises coming from the front suspension I took it to the dealership it was still under warranty they told me that it was the upper strut mount here. Dealership replaced front mount. Now it is doing again I'm at a hundred and ten thousand miles and that problem still persist something is going on with the strut mounts front strut mounts of this vehicle every time I go over a speed bump or railroad tracks it makes a clunking noise and also when I'm turning left and right.

The cruise control is just awful and has been since I bought the car brand new in December 2016. Just as several others have described, it cannot control the speed when going down hill. It raises the rpm's trying to slow the car down, but it isn't very effective. I've never had another car or another Toyota have such poor speed control. So much, that I don't even bother trying to use it anymore. A cop isn't going to listen to "my cruise control wasn't working right" if I get pulled over. The brakes already feel like they are wearing out at 26k miles. My 13 camry had 30k and the brakes still felt brand new. Same with the 15 sentra I had. The suspension feels rougher and is starting to make noises already. This car shouldn't feel like it has 60k miles on it already.

I noticed a sound coming from the front end of my 2016 Toyota Corolla le. I initially took it in to see where the sound was stemming from the mechanic at Toyota stated that the sound was normal and no need to have concern about the noise it was normal within these models of Corollas. I let the dealership with relief but as I drove back the noise was louder , so I took the vehicle back in to the same shop luther brookdale Toyota where the mechanic stated the sound was normal but this time the mechanic suggested that they replace the struts and along with the strut mounts. He stated this would alleviate the problem and the sound would go away because he agreed that the front end suspension was indeed faulty (hence). That's why he replaced the struts along with the mounts. Upon replacing the part of the suspension the sound persisted. Now brookdale where I went initially stated they where no longer able to help me with the issues keep in my the car is under warranty, so I went to walser Toyota where they kept my vehicle for over a week trying to repair and get rid of the sound my vehicle was making after that week I was told they called a Toyota specialist over the phone plus after a week I was told the sound was normal no further work needed to be done I inquired if the rep from Toyota heard the sound over the phone while driving my vehicle the tech at walser Toyota stated yes he heard the sound over the phone I was shocked how can you deem a sound normal via telephone , not happy with this I then took my vehicle to firestone repair shop where they recommended I have my front replaced I have a print out of the recommendations at this point I feel my safety of me and my family is at stake.

Bought may 2015, warm day, firm brakes. Wet, cold fall months brakes became soft w/ excessive travel & erratic during 40mph & under. Took to dealer sept 2015 at 1,562 miles. Tech performed road test. Couldn¿t duplicate contions. Checked for codes. Stated ¿found normal braking conitions¿. I started driving again & noticed during warm days around 70 deg brakes changed hardness with a/c on. More firm. During colder days brakes would go within 2 inches of floor before working. Took to dealer on ¿walk in¿ basis when car was acting up. Drove w/ tech 1 hr tried to get him to notice difference in brakes. Tech stated brakes were acting ¿normal¿ & that I just wasn¿t familiar w/ how the systems operated. I instisted it wasn¿t normal. Tech contacted manufacturer. They said replace master cylinder and bleed system. Returned car & stated ¿driving correctly now¿. I started driving again & noticed whisteling sound coming from engine compt when driving under 30mph between bdlgs w/ window down. Brakes go all the way to the floor at times & they grab & stop the car abruptly. Especially in stop-&-go traffic. Took to dealer March 2016 at 4,800 miles. I suggested checking entire vacuum system for leaks. Tech only checked line to brake booster. Tech made ¿little¿ adjustment to e-brake & rear brakes. Tech stated brakes ¿feels similar to new Corolla¿ & no whistling sound. I can still hear whistling sound & brakes still have same issues! I think it¿s a design flaw related to the entire vacuum system & should be recalled! told dealer. Test drove 2016 Honda civic w/ similar braking systems it performed like a new car should! other issues w/this Corolla are the suspension is too ¿loose¿ when traveling above 55mph & changing lanes, the engine is way to loud when accel & often knocks during accel & idling (changed gas stations & checked fuel type, still same problem), & headlights r 2 bright. . .

Tl- the contact owns a 1996 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that the suspension was unstable and that there was a rattling noise coming from the front of the vehicle. The contact was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 10e002000 (suspension). The contact also stated that there was an intermittent electrical short in which the fuzes shorted. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop and the mechanic diagnosed that the dashboard would need to be taken apart to replace and rewire the wires that were faulty and causing the fuzes to be blown. The mechanic replaced the fuzes. The brake light also stayed illuminated due to a failure that was progressing. The contact also indicated that the brake pedal had to be pressed completely to the floor with force to completely stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.

I have had numerous unresolved problems with my 2003 Toyota Corolla. The air conditioning/heater fan quits at random. It does start back but obviously has a short. It comes and goes. The dealer has stated each time they are unable to duplicate the problem. It also has suspension problems. Since new the car has made unpleasant claning and rattling noises in the front end. I have had it looked at many times with no resolution. It feels unstable in windy conditions and un even surfaces. I've actually thought I had a flat tire because of the car swaying so badly in the wind and on uneven surfaces. I've owned many small cars before and even an older Corolla so I'm aware of what is normal. It has definite supsension problems. I honestly feel it's dangerous for myself and others due to the suspension. I need help. There are other problems with this car as well. It's a true lemon.
