I have fixed my rear suspension more than 4x and it continues to go bad, it works fine for a couple of weeks but still not running well then it shocks and goes back to bouncing whenever it hits a bump or anything not smooth on the roads. it happens when driving and you feel it a lot more when it's running on local roads. the visibility is bad, the defogger does not work and i have to wait about 15-20 mins or open the window. when i put my hands on the vent for the defogger there is no air coming from it.

Rear suspension fix of previous recall will not allow rear alignment of vehicle because of the epoxy encasement. this is not acceptable. just spent 800.00 on tires and alignment only to find out the rear is out of alignment and can't be aligned due to toyota's fix (epoxy encasement).

Noticed a change in the suspension of my vehicle. i went to the sun toyota dealership for a routine oil change and tire balancing, and also a wheel alignment. dealer informed me that the right tire camber and caster out of specification. they adjusted right front camber from -.9 to .-3 attempt to shift right front lower control arm, no change for caster. i was told that i will not notice the difference and that was the best adjustment they can do. i called the toyota corporate number because i felt that this is a defect from toyota and should be resolved.

2008 Toyota RAV4

Rear suspension arm (tie rods) fixed under recall campaign 13v 383000 have become loose. after several calls to the manufacturer and to two different dealers, toyota has denied to help with the cost of repairs. obviously their recall "fix" has not worked and i think they should be held responsible for the repairs due to this fact.
