WHEN CAR IS IN REVERSE A LOUD SQUACKING OR SQEALING ALSO A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED IN REVERSE. IT IS ALWAYS IN REVERSE WHEN THIS ALMOST METAL ON METALS SOUND APPEARS?

THIS IS IN REGARD TO RECALL #16V596 FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLIES. THE FIX THAT TOYOTA WANTS TO IMPLEMENT INVOLVES ENCASING THE ADJUSTMENT SLEEVES IN EPOXY RESULTING IN THE ARMS NO LONGER BEING ADJUSTABLE. THESE SUSPENSION ARMS ARE ADJUSTABLE SO THAT THE REAR TOE-IN CAN BE ADJUSTED WHEN AN ALIGNMENT IS PERFORMED. THE FIX TOYOTA WANTS TO DO IS LIKE WELDING THE DRIVERS DOOR SHUT BECAUSE THE LATCH BROKE: IT'S NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL.

I WAS COASTING UP TO A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES I HEARD THE ENGINE ROAR AND I WAS PROPELLED INTO THE INTERSECTION. I CONTINUED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE CAR STOPPED. THREE DAYS LATER I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY (THE CAR IN PARK) AND I WENT TO START THE CAR. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND I PUSHED THE START BUTTON. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED AND THE ENGINE RACED TO 4000 RPM PLUS. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE RPM IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO A NORMAL RPM. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS THERE TWO DAYS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

THE PART BETWEEN THE ROOF AND FRONT WIND SHIELD IS CORRODED SO BAD. EVERYBODY ASKED WHAT HAPPENED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN SAVANNAH, GA., CHARLESTON AND LUGOFF, SC., NEITHER ONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS CARED. THEY PASSED IT OFF AS NOTHING. HOWEVER, IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT. THE PAINT IS PEELING ALL OVER THE CAR. I WILL UPLOAD A PICTURE OF THE MAIN PART THAT PEELING.
