When the dealer checked the wheel alignment on 04/30/2015, they said that they need to replace the suspension arms at my expense at this time. Are they responsible to replace them free off charge at this time?.

My rear car suspension was incased because it was recalled. Over 55 mph was car would sway from side to side. I called Toyota and was told my car was perfect. I took the car to two dealers who said at low speed the car performed well. The was a law suit in California that proved the car is defective after the recall. I missed the date because I did not research the web. I sold the car for less because I did not want a crash. I lost money on the car sale.

When driving at about 45-50 mph lost control as vehicle starting shaking up and had a near miss crash on I 5 n driving to la. Decided to pull over and exit out and took an internal road driving at 30 mph and returned home. Upon investigation found that last safety call repair for rear suspension repair was performed adding some epoxy to tighten up and did not fix the issue. Looks like free of charge repair done by dealer is not working. I hope thorough investigation is performed as the fix seem to not work and still can cause crash. Looks like the problem still persists: background the original problem involved a wobbling rear suspension arm that could, over time, rust out. That could lead to a suspension failure and, in a worst-case scenario, a crash. The maker has since discovered that the nuts it used to adjust the alignment of the rear wheels on the two vehicles during the August 2012 recall were not tightened properly. The maker has notified the NHTSA it will now have to recall the same 780,000 vehicles to inspect for damage. The nuts will now be properly tightened and Toyota will take the additional step of sealing the rear lower suspension arms with an epoxy coating designed to prevent corrosion.

Letter from congressman forbes on behalf of constituent regarding a recall by Toyota on the Toyota rav 4 (mail reply to chesterfield, va office - attn: joan fallon).

I received an urgent safety recall notice from Toyota in December 2013, (safety recall #coj), affecting the rear lower suspension arms (no. 1) on January 2, 2014 I had an appointment to replace tires, and made an appointment for the next available date to do the recall on June 6, 2014. On arrival for the appointment on June 6, greentree Toyota in danbury, CT told me they did not have parts for the recall and would let me know when the parts came in (should be a few weeks according to the service tech) to do the recall repairs. Since then I have not received any information as of today August 6 2014. I want to file this complaint because I believe that Toyota has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time.

Received a recall notice in April 2014 stating problem with rear lower suspension arm. Trying to get it fixed but local dealers having trouble getting part and epoxy sealant.

2010 Toyota rav 4. Consumer writes in regards to the rear lower suspension arms recall notice. The consumer was informed, the parts were on national back order.

We recently received the rear lower suspension arms 2nd recall. I purchased the car used in April 2013, and was not told of a recall. I would like to understand if the first one had already been issued. Since purchasing the car it has not felt stable in the rear, ever. We brought it in once previously and they said the problem was fixed. This time I was told by one dealership the part to repair the recall was not available, and then took to a dealership 2 weeks later where they informed us we did have the rust problem. They "remedied" with epoxy, but said bring back if a "problem". The car still does not drive right or feel stable. I bought this car to drive our grandchildren and now feel extremely unsafe in this vehicle. What can be done to correct this situation, so I can feel secure in the car I am driving. I feel this is a lemon issue, as every time we drive it we are still at risk.

Had recall on Toyota rav 4 for rear lower suspension arms. Took it back to the dealer for repair, they didn't have the parts and have to reschedule when the parts come in. This is what Toyota said will be done to repair if any rust is found on the internal threaded portion of the arm(s), the arm will be replaced. After the inspection or replacement the rear suspension alignment will be set and the arms will be sealed with an epoxy. Labels will also be applied stating the arm is no longer adjustable. How are alignments going to be made to the rear suspension if they are not adjustable? is it going to be at owners expense to replace both rear lower suspension arms to realign the rear end? the dealer couldn't answer that question. They just a voided me when we pick the car up later.

On a lovely Saturday afternoon, my husband and I were returning home from a family picnic. We had just exited the highway and were traveling on a two-lane road in dover, NJ. Suddenly, the car was violently thrown into the left lane with on coming traffic. I thought we had a blow out but was proven wrong. My husband just missed a car by inches as he wrestled the car back into the right lane all the while more cars were coming at us. He was able to direct the car to a side street. When we got out of the car we found that the right rear suspension arm was detached and hanging loose off the car. This necessitated calling for a tow truck from the Toyota dealership. Our anguish and palpable terror was caused by the failure of numerous recalls to this Toyota rav 4 for rear lower suspension arm to be properly & safely repaired. My husband works around the corner from the Toyota dealership and upon the receipt of numerous recall notices, responsibly took the vehicle in for service each time. The most recent service visit was only a week prior to the incident. The dealership service manager called us and apologized and told us he took complete responsibility for the improper repairs. We could longer feel safe in this vehicle and traded it in immediately.

Many months ago, Toyota had a safety recall related to the rear lower suspension arms. . . Supposely, Toyota repaired the problem, when in actually the problem was not repaired so there was a second safety recall. That was months ago. I have repetitively contacted the dealership and I am not receiving any type of communication from Toyota. . . How can I get this fixed because I'm concerned about this problem especially since I have a one year old son. Sincerely, garret brown.

To whom it may concern, last spring (March 2014) I received a recall notice for my 2010 rav 4 to come in for an inspection for my rear lower suspension arm. I immediately called and was put on a waiting list to be seen. Every month or so I would call to check the status of getting seen. They would seem confused each time I would call, but would verify that I was on that "list. " but over the many months, I have still yet to be seen. A 2nd recall notice was issued this past December or early January. The last I heard, after over 9 months of being on a wait list was that I was still on the list and I was higher on the list to be seen. Upon receiving the 2nd notice, I called kendall Toyota and they told me that the list no longer exists and that they will be starting a new list to see people beginning in March. This will now have been around a year of waiting to be seen for the recall. I am concerned, not only that I will not get seen in a timely fashion, but if my car were to get in any sort of accident due to the recall, would the responsibility fall on the company or on myself? kendall Toyota of anchorage also informed me that they are the only location that can do the recall maintenance here in this area. I'm frustrated by the continuing delays and would like to see if there is anything else that can be done to be seen sooner rather than later. Thank you! meghan bennett.

Nothing has happened yet other than I think this has caused my tires to wear prematurely and am worried this repair is taking extremely long to get repaired. I need new tires and alignment but will need another when my repair gets done. I think Toyota should repair and replace alignment and tires for free. Tires did not wear even. Found out from dealer new tires are required. 6/32 outer edge of tire and center of tire but 2/32 on inner edge of tire.

Safety recall notice 16v-596 regarding rear lower suspension arm (no. 1) assemblies. We have been trying to get this recall repaired since the notice was sent out. To date Toyota has been unable to supply the part to remedy this problem. I do not have the exact date of the recall but has been over three years. I am concerned that if the part fails, as noted in the recall, it could cause loss of control of the auto. Regarding this, who is responsible if an accident were to occur?.
