Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Automatic tensioner failed. bearing makes terrible squeaking sound when cold. getting worse as months go by. also worse in cold, wet weather. brought car to dealer. they said it's not covered in basic warranty. didn't get extended warranty. is this right? seems like a defective part. seems like it should be covered under drive train warranty. have seen same problem with 2 other corrolla's from similar years. why doesn't toyota replace this part as part of regular warranty? *jb
