Lower control arm bolt snapped .. while the car was parked - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hershey · 09-01-2011, 03:37 PM

Our '08 sedan has been clunking at times for over a year now . We made and took a copy of the TSB for CANADA to a service center and showed the service manager . We told him of the noise and we're concerned only to get a rude reply of " That's for CANADA not here and there's no need to take a look at it " ! This was the same service department that did the head cylinder gasket replacement . Sounds like TOYOTA is trying to take the cheap route by only doing a T.S.B. and not a RECALL . Most likely would cost them a bundle for the repairs and rather lay it on the consumer and the elements of nature . Not shocked , since the issue we went through with TOYOTA corporation about the head cylinder gasket issues of the '08 we still have and the 2010 3 door we no longer own .
