Owner-reported complaints naming the suspension system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Suspension reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I TOOK MY 1994 TOYOTA CAMRY TO TOYOTA MALL OF GEORGIA, 3505 BUFORD DR., BUFORD, GA 30519 FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE ON 8/31/10. I ALSO TOLD THEM IT WAS MAKING A WHOO, WHOO, WHOO SOUND IN THE PASSENGER FRONT END AND THAT THE LAST TIME IT WAS MAKING A SOUND LIKE THAT I NEEDED A NEW AXLE. THEY CALLED ME SHORTLY AFTER I LEFT AND SAID THAT IT NEEDED A NEW AXLE. DIDN'T SAY WHY, JUST THAT IT NEEDED ONE. (INFLATED PRICING) I GAVE THEM APPROVAL TO INSTALL A NEW AXLE. THEY SAID THAT IT NEEDED TO COME OUT OF JACKSONVILLE, FL SO IT WOULD BE TOMORROW (9/1/10) BEFORE MY CAR WAS READY. THEY PUT IT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT. ON MONDAY 9/13/10 I WAS CIRCLING AROUND BEHIND A BUILDING WHEN THE AXLE BROKE IN HALF. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 15/20 MPH. WHAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GOING FASTER ? I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS WAS A NEW TOYOTA PART. WAS THE AXLE DEFECTIVE OR WAS THE MECHANIC ? I DID NOT CALL TOYOTA BECAUSE OF OTHER ISSUES THAT HAD OCCURRED WITH THEM. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP THAT REPLACED THE BROKEN AXLE. *TR
