The car it's hard to turn now, it make noise when I accelerate, liking grease-oil on the ball joints. It sounds like the problem with the recall, but my car is 2-11.. a month before the recall ( that starts in 3 -11).. so I took it to dealership, and they didn't wanted to help me with that. They want to charge me like $800. What can I do??

My year of Toyota and make had a recall on the front driver's side ball joint and my ball joint is about ready to snap because it is a faulty factory ball joint. I would like this to be checked out because I have kids and I don't want to hurt any of us. Thank you for your time and consideration. Families are forever!!

As I am checking my credit report I decided to look at the vehicle report an I see recalls that I never new anything about, two recalls. I recall recently having issues with said recall, control arms, one of said recall in question, now I hadn't purchased this vehicle long after the recall, as I stated did not get a letter nor did the dealership say anything, as I have gotten regular oil changes with the recall time frame, my car was hit on the street while parked in 2017, but I was told the controls arms problem was not a result of that, I had taken my vehicle to several Toyota dealers an they said they couldn't see T find anything, an eventually one dealer fix it, under my warranty. But it seem to still be a problem with the upper lower control because the car is is swaying from time to time especially with this powerful winds, today my car swayed into the other lane as I was on the freeway I had to get off immediately.

Seat cloth broke driver..vent visor driver broke and took it off and threw it away.. turn a.C. and knocking noise. Clunking noise on suspension since I bought the car dealer never did anything. Now in may this year I experience vibration when I accelerate around 40mph. Crazy annoying issue. Paid to much money. Car looks new but a lot of issues. I don't even think airbags work. Accident and didn't come out. Crazy unsafe car with to many major issues.

I was making a left hand turn on a side street when my steering wheel became harder to turn and I lost control of my vehicle. The right front lower ball joint had broken off causing the entire tire and tie rod to detach from the car. This caused damage to my right passenger door and the damage to the suspension entire car to shift resulting in misalignment.
