Description of the problem	After my car received the first recall service (early 2014) for the rear suspension, about 5000 miles later i began to hear noises at freeway speeds from the passenger rear tire area. Not long after this noise started, i received the (mailed from toyota) second recall notice regarding the back suspension. This was in sept 2013. Each month i call toyota for the second recall service and they never "have the parts necessary" for the second recall service. Each time there is no "idea" when these parts will be in. The noise is continually getting worse and now appears at much lower speeds. For the first service, i was told by toyota my car was totally rusted (even tho the car was from the south us) and had been "dangerous". I see this safecar site mentions these second stage recall are to be completed between sept 2013 and april 2014. Today is 4/9/2014 and the toyota dealers in this area still claim they do not have the parts. Also today there now are new recalls for this same car how long will we wait for those parts?
