I have a 2015 Toyota Corolla with 85,000 miles. It has a noise sense it had 33,000 mile and Toyota ignore it, (clunking) in the front left side when going through small potholes and uneven surfaces at slow speeds. I have changed the strut mounts, sway bar links, sway bar bushings and even the sway bar and nothing has changed. I do not what else to do. I have taken it to three mechanics and no one has been able to determine the cause of the noise. My last mechanic advise me alot of Toyota Corolla have this issue he advise to replace the lower control arm it will fix the issue and Toyota should think about recall it this issue everyone have.

While parking in a carport, I will use the brake to slowly enter and park. As I was straightening out the car, the car excellerated and hit a pole, bouncing back and forth. It caused major damage. I am wondering if there was something wrong with the car or my wearing flip-flops may have caused this accident. (note: This was a loaner car from Toyota while I waited 5 months to get my 2009 Corolla xle airbag replacement. The replacement part showed up the very next day after my accident)

Control arm bushings. They were making sounds. Was told by wappingers falls Toyota previously that these parts or fine and it was a normal sound this problem has been going on for over a year, . I finally took it to a different dealership and they are correcting the problem by replacing lower control arms. However I cannot understand I'm a car this new needed to be brought in to have control arms replaced. At only 40000 miles.

Bought May 2015, warm day, firm brakes. Wet, cold fall months brakes became soft w/ excessive travel & erratic during 40mph & under. Took to dealer Sept 2015 at 1,562 miles. Tech performed road test. Couldn't duplicate conditions. Checked for codes. Stated 'found normal braking conditions'. I started driving again & noticed during warm days around 70 deg brakes changed hardness with A/C on. More firm. During colder days brakes would go within 2 inches of floor before working. Took to dealer on 'walk-in' basis when car was acting up. Drove w/ tech 1 hr tried to get him to notice difference in brakes. Tech stated brakes were acting 'normal' & that I just wasn't familiar w/ how the systems operated. I insisted it wasn't normal. Tech contacted manufacturer. They said replace master cylinder and bleed system. Returned car & stated 'driving correctly now'. I started driving again & noticed whistling sound coming from engine compt when driving under 30mph between bdlgs w/ window down. Brakes go all the way to the floor at times & they grab & the car stops abruptly. Especially in stop-&-go traffic. Took to dealer March 2016 at 4,800 miles. I suggested checking entire vacuum system for leaks. Tech only checked line to brake booster. Tech made 'little' adjustment to E-brake & rear brakes. Tech stated brakes 'feels similar to new Corolla' & no whistling sound. I can still hear whistling sound & brakes still have same issues! I think it's a design flaw related to the entire vacuum system & should be recalled! told dealer. Test drove 2016 Honda civic w/ similar braking systems it performed like a new car should! other issues w/this Corolla are the suspension is too 'loose' when traveling above 55mph & changing lanes, the engine is way too loud when accel & often knocks during accel & idling (changed gas stations & checked fuel type, still same problem), & headlights R 2 bright...
