Replaced both rear control arms and adjustment bolts. Technician said I was lucky not to have been driving. Supposedly when aligning my tires - the screws showed rusty and broke off. Paid $900 to have replaced. This should not happen in a car like Toyota. I am the original owner and have always taken excellent care of my vehicle.
While turning right to go down the next aisle in a parking lot my passenger rear tie rod aka control arm broke at the factory weld! I purchased this car brand new off the lot and have been told by numerous mechanics that this should not happen and it's a defect. Had I been on the freeway, this would have been catastrophic. I drive a 2011 Rav4 with 104,000 miles and these have been recalled for this issue, however my VIN# is not one of the recalled ones. The Toyota dealership is going to charge me $600 to replace it. I'm asking for them to take a look at the other one and replace it if necessary.
