The right front spring failed. It snapped close to one end, leaving a jagged point. My mechanic said that this could be disastrous if this jagged point came in contact with the tire, especially at highway speed. I contacted toyota customer service and was told that since the car was out of warranty, they would not help me with any repair. A failure to a part such as this is either a defect, or a gross engineering…

4 tires worn out about 28000 miles. I had to replace them this is because of suspension system problem that wears out the tires very fast. Having wheel alignment does not solve the problem. I have aligned the wheels and still have wearing problem with new tires. I believe that toyota should fix this problem and compensate the loss. *tr

While turning the toyota steering wheel, i can notice a severe clicking or thumping sound from the steering wheel. It appears there is a problem with the suspension or the struts. I took my toyota to get it check out a few months before the warranty expired. They indicated the struts were leaking. One strut was severely leaking so they replaced it. The other strut was also leaking but not as severe so it was not…
