 Description of the problemWhen driving at about 45-50 mph lost control as vehicle starting shaking up and had a near miss crash on i 5 n driving to la. Decided to pull over and exit out and took an internal road driving at 30 mph and returned home. Upon investigation found that last safety call repair for rear suspension repair was performed adding some epoxy to tighten up and did not fix the issue. Looks like free of charge repair done by dealer is not working. I hope thorough investigation is performed as the fix seem to not work and still can cause crash. Looks like the problem still persists: background the original problem involved a wobbling rear suspension arm that could, over time, rust out. That could lead to a suspension failure and, in a worst-case scenario, a crash. The maker has since discovered that the nuts it used to adjust the alignment of the rear wheels on the two vehicles during the august 2012 recall were not tightened properly. The maker has notified the nhtsa it will now have to recall the same 780,000 vehicles to inspect for damage. The nuts will now be properly tightened and toyota will take the additional step of sealing the rear lower suspension arms with an epoxy coating designed to prevent corrosion.
