| Description of the problem | Toyota issued a safety recall g0v a few years ago that sealed the rear suspension arms with an epoxy. My rear alignment is out, and i cannot no longer adjust my rear suspension unless i replaced both rear suspension arms. Toyota says this is my own problem, and any repair associated with this safety recall has to come from my pocket. How can the safety recall lead to another problem? I am probably not the only one who has experienced this issue as i read several other folks who voiced their concerns online. Is there anything that nhtsa can do? |
