Lower control arm bolt snapped while the car was parked. Went to the dealer and discovered the bolt head popped off. Required 7 hr to fix, and $10.50 in parts. This represents a major safety hazard for these cars, and left me wondering why I was never alerted to this potential problem. Toyota knew about this in 2009 as per their tsb.

Hello! I just purchased a 2007 Toyota Yaris Hatchback a few months ago. The car was bought used with over 69,000 km. The inspection checked out fine. The only beef I have with this car is that the front suspension makes a knocking sound whenever I go over a small bump in the road. It's not really a very loud knocking, but still annoying. After checking out a few toyota forums online, the only solution I found was that it could be worn bushings. Anyone have this problem?

any problem with front ends is very worrisome.....bolt broke off on the front end which caused a noise in the front end when going over bumps...
