While driving on bumpy roads I would hear a loud clunking noise from under the car. I asked a mechanic what it was and he said it was the struts. There is a recall on this vehicle, 2002 Toyota Corolla for that very thing. One dealer said he wouldn't fix it.

Squealing noise started. They could not find the noise. As it got louder they "dressed the belts" at 35,426 miles. The problem persisted, and now the stabilizer needs to be replaced. The problem has not been corrected. When I asked about the part being defective, I was told the parts original number has changed and a new one is now used. Does this mean that the first one was defected and they had to make a new one to correct the problem" it is normal for the part to give be bad so soon. Since the problem started earlier"
