| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 toyota matrix. It has less than 100,000 miles and have been well taken care of. On august 20, 2010, driving 30-35 miles per hour, the front axel broke! I did not run over a pot-hole, there was no accident---nothing to remotely cause the front axel to break. It is very upsetting having to pay for a repair that is a defect in the car and now being told that they can't even find the part to repair the car. |
