I own a 2007 toyota yaris it has approx 122k miles (mostly highway) and recently while getting my front tires replaced my mechanic pointed out to me that the "rear lower control arm and cradle bolts were rusted off). As an engineer I recognize this as either a design flaw or a manufactiring escape. Reguardless of the milage a critical structural component should not rust away in 4 years. Since the surrounding bolts are all good its pretty obvoious that the bolt material toyota used on my car was the problem. Sadly when I brought my car to the dealer (lynch toyota , manchester ct) I was not recieve the respect and consideration I beleive one whoi has a valid quality complaint to recieve, instead (even though my mech explained the issue to them 6 days prior to my appointment) I was told it would be several days before they had a part to fix the car , it was unsafe to drive and that by the way it will be at least $400 dollars to fix. This isn't some old lady who can't tell the difference between the gas pedal & the brake. Thsi si a major strucutal compont that just rusted away in 4 years! Its an unsafe condition and it should be rectified befor someone gets killed.

I was driving my 2007 toyota yaris sedan along I-75 northbound towards atlanta when all of a sudden my driver's side door window just exploded for no reason. The shattered glass blew out all over the inside of the passenger cabin. There was no external force that caused the glass to shatter (it simply exploded spontaneously).
