MANY MONTHS AGO, TOYOTA HAD A SAFETY RECALL RELATED TO THE REAR LOWER SUSPENSION ARMS... SUPPOSEDLY, TOYOTA REPAIRED THE PROBLEM, WHEN IN ACTUALLY THE PROBLEM WAS NOT REPAIRED SO THERE WAS A SECOND SAFETY RECALL. THAT WAS MONTHS AGO. I HAVE REPETITIVELY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM NOT RECEIVING ANY TYPE OF COMMUNICATION FROM TOYOTA... HOW CAN I GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD SON.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL 2014 STATING PROBLEM WITH REAR LOWER SUSPENSION ARM. TRYING TO GET IT FIXED BUT LOCAL DEALERS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING PART AND EPOXY SEALANT. RECALL NOTICE INDICATES POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A CRASH IF THE ARM SEPARATES. IS IT SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR? *TR

WE RECENTLY RECEIVED THE REAR LOWER SUSPENSION ARMS 2ND RECALL. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN APRIL 2013, AND WAS NOT TOLD OF A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND IF THE FIRST ONE HAD ALREADY BEEN ISSUED. SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IT HAS NOT FELT STABLE IN THE REAR, EVER. WE BROUGHT IT IN ONCE PREVIOUSLY AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD BY ONE DEALERSHIP THE PART TO REPAIR THE RECALL WAS NOT AVAILABLE, AND THEN TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS LATER WHERE THEY INFORMED US WE DID HAVE THE RUST PROBLEM. THEY "REMEDIED" WITH EPOXY, BUT SAID BRING BACK IF A "PROBLEM". THE CAR STILL DOES NOT DRIVE RIGHT OR FEEL STABLE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR TO DRIVE OUR GRANDCHILDREN AND NOW FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION, SO I CAN FEEL SECURE IN THE CAR I AM DRIVING. I FEEL THIS IS A LEMON ISSUE, AS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT WE ARE STILL AT RISK. *TR
