Description of the problem	I have been hearing some clicking noise when my car is moving and it sounded like metal rubbing. I took it to toyota and they said nothing was wrong. So when i went to get my emissions test done, the mechanic at the auto shop said that he heard the noise too and it sounded like it was coming from underneath the car in the middle. So they lifted the car and saw where the universal joint is worn out and the manufacturer seal is deteriorating causing the joints to rub together. There are no grease fittings on this so i am having to replace the universal joints as the problem is getting louder and the mechanic said that they needed to be fixed so that it does not break while i am going down the road which could cause problems underneath the car. I called toyota about this today and they said that would only be covered under warranty and that is 60,000 miles or 5 years. I have 70,000 miles on the car. Toyota failed to check all of these items and catch them when i did my yearly service and mileage appointments with them and now they want to charge me. This could have been a very dangerous situation if it failed while i was on the road.
