| Component | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Car lurched, shook and tilted while driving under normal conditions. Safety recall issued may 20, 2020 (20tb08/20ta08) says front lower arm suspension defect found for same make and model in production period 9/25/19-10/25/19, which post dates my purchase date by several months but seems to involve the same problem. I believe the problem is broader than toyota has acknowledged and that toyota is being dangerously dilatory in providing notice of the safety issues that it admits make these cars unsafe to drive. |
