I had heard a slight clunking noise from the rear. I pulled out of my driveway and heard a loud clunk, started down a hill and lost complete control of the car. I went from one side of the street to the other. Luckily no cars were coming. Finally a got the car stopped and returned to my garage. Looking at the rear right tire it was bent in at the top. I had to have it towed to the dealer. The dealer's diagnosis was "left rear tie-rod pulled apart". I had it replaced. We had just returned from philadelphia the day before and hate to think what would have happened had it occurred on pennsylvania's northeast extension, traveling at 65 mph. I never even thought to report it back then and I am sure this is a result of this recall 12v373000.

I recently got my oil change done and tire rotation for my Toyota rav 4. I was told by a non Toyota service person to take my car to Toyota to get the shocks checks out since they were leaking and I was under warranty with Toyota. My car is only like 2 years old and I have problem with the shocks before at like 20k miles only. Toyota had fixed my left rear shocks once before too. So this was not surprising to me knowing that the right shocks/struts were messed up this time. I took my car to Toyota and they said moisture on the skocks/struts was normal and nothing was leaking. Also the new tires that I had replaced a few months back were worn out. I was informed that the shocks/struts were not a reason for that. Since I will run out of my 36,000 miles warranty in the next 3 months I am concerned if Toyota is being honest about my situation or they just don't care.
