Description of the problem	My 2008 toyota rav 4 had a recall for the rear lower control arms, the first recall was around jan. 12, 2013. (64,306) miles. At this time toyota tightened the control arms to the correct torque and i believe completed alignment. About 1 yr later, on jan. 17, 2014 (78,847) miles, the lower control arms where replaced, alignment was done, and epoxy was applied to the bolts for a permanent fix approved by toyota. When having my brakes replaced at toyota dealer on may 17, 2015 (101,475) miles, they informed me my rear alignment was out slightly. I was told the only way to fix this is to have the same job done, as was done in january 2014, at a cost of approx. $900. 00. I was told i must have hit a pot hole?? This was a toyota recall for a defect on their part with their parts. Obviously, the permanent fix didn't work. I guess they would expect me to pay every time my vehicles rear comes out of alignment to pay $900. 00. My toyota rav 4 has always been serviced at the same toyota dealership in vineland, new jersey, which is where i purchased it new. I contacted toyota corp, and they where no help. Also, having a problem with excessive oil consumption, like many others. What has happened to toyota and their reputation!
