| Description of the problem | About 4-5 months ago i received a letter from toyota regarding problem with the rear lower suspension arm no. 1. The problem could "result in the loss of vehicle control and a crash." each time i check with them they say they are not ready to remedy the problem and just continue to drive the vehicle i believe that it is very negligent of them to suggest that i continue to drive a vehicle that according to them could "result in the loss of vehicle control and a crash." does the national highway traffic safety administration have any power to require toyota to fix the problem at once or find another remedy for me driving an unsafe car? |
