Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On passenger vehicles with vehicle identification numbers (vin) starting with 1nx only and built from january 8 through february 13, 2002, it is possible for the bolts that join the rear brake and hub assembly to the rear axle carrier to be loose due to insufficient tightening during the assembly process. after experiencing a noise from the rear of the car, i brought my 2003 toyota corolla to the dealer. one interesting not, is i never had the estimated gas mileage on my corolla, and brought this to the dealers attention numerous times. i would only get 31-33 mpg on the highway and worse in the city. i think the bearings on the 2003 corolla are defective. i have a friend who also has a 2003 corolla and had the same problem after only 2 years of driving. our vehicles did not make the recall, but all 2003 corollas should be included. *jb |
