THE NOISE IS STILL CURRENT AS OF TODAY 7/23/00. I NOW HAVE TO CALL THEM & THEY ALREADY TREAT ME WITH IGNORANCE, I'M LOOKING INTO FILING FOR THE LEMON LAW I NEED SOME SATISFACTION - HOW COULD ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS BE OVERLOOKED? - I FEEL MY LIFE IS IN THE HANDS OF TOYOTA'S SERVICE DEPT - AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL. THEY GAVE ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 6 YEAR OR 100,000.00 MILES AFTER I ASKED FOR IT. I STATED NOW THAT I HAVE MY RECONSTRUCTED VEHICLE BACK WOULD TOYOTA GRANT ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND STAND BEHIND THERE PARTS. THEY DID BUT THE STRESS AND LOSS OF WORK DUE TO MANY SERVICE APPTS IS SO AGGRAVATING. MAYBE MY PROBLEM COULD BE OF USE TO YOU. IF I COULD ASSIST IN ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL - I STILL HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER APPT FOR MY VEHICLE -I MEAN IS IT REALLY BRAKE DUST THIS TIME OR IS THE CAR GOING TO FALL APART AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITH ME IN IT?

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA CE ON MAY 20,2000. WITHIN 4 TO 5 DAYS LATER I NOTICED WHEN I WAS REACHING SPEEDS OF 65-70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD SWAY AND WANDER DOWN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. IT HAS A PUSH/PULL EFFECT TO IT. WHEN THIS PROBLEM ARISES IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I AM CONSTANTLY OVER COMPENSATING TO TRY AND KEEP IT STRAIGHT AND IN MY LANE. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE INTO MY DEALER THAT I PURCHASED IT MANY TIMES. THEY HAVE TAKEN AIR OUT OF THE TIRES, ALIGNED THE FRONT END, ALIGNED THE REAREND AND CAMBER. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA THEMSELVES AND MET WITH THE DPM OF TOYOTA WHO DROVE MY VEHICLE AND REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. SHE THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY CONTACTED THE TECHNICAL DEPT AND HE TOLD THEM THAT THERE WERE CASES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM IN TOYOTA CANADA. AT THAT POINT SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH MY VEHICLE OTHER THAN TO NOTIFY THEIR ENGINEER OF THE PROBLEM. *AK
