2000 Toyota Camry developed a problem with the left rear control arm. The consumer first complained of a noise coming from the vehicle during the warranty period. When the consumer picked the vehicle up from the dealer the noise had persisted. After being told there was nothing wrong with the suspension the consumer continued to drive the vehicle until 3 years later the vehicle failed the safety inspection and that is when the left rear control arm was replaced, after the replacement the noise disappeared.

The day after purchasing the car we noticed a thumping coming from the rear of the vehicle. We returned the car to the dealer to check it out. Upon examination, they said we needed new rear struts. They only replaced the strut caps. Shortly after, we filled the gas tank, as it was when we received the car, and realized the thumping sound was still present. We returned to the dealer again. This time they said we needed a new fuel tank, a technician they called in California told them this. After changing the fuel tank, the thumping sound is still present. Next they brought in a special technician, who examined our car and said it was completely normal. Now we began the process of the Massachusetts lemon law. Toyota now wanted to examine the car one final time with a regional rep and another technician. They both heard the thumping and decided the rear sway bar needed adjustment, and this would solve our problem. No such luck, the thumping noise is still occuring. We also have found the trunk is not flush with the rear fenders. The technicians say it was just installed wrong and can be corrected. It seems all our problems are in the rear end of the vehicle, and still after almost 3 months nothing is resolved.
