| The 2003 toyota corolla makes noise at speeds over 40 miles per hour. i took the car to 2 different shops and they came back with the same results. the bearings are bad and need to be replaced. i contacted toyota and they refused to fix it due to the time although the bearings should last much longer then the 40 k miles even their warranty says 60k miles. this is a safety issue since the wheel can came off while you drive and injure the driver and others. people who have this issue and may not even realize it as i did, i thought is the muffler and is not is a safety issue. please post this on your website as this is very dangerous for people . toyota should investigate what is wrong with the bearings they use. | |||

| The consumer wanted to rotate the tires. the vehicle was jacked up followed by changing the tires. when the consumer made an attempt to dismount the tires from the drums, the wheel/rim was stuck. this was a characteristic for all the wheels. the consumer discovered that the axle end was the same size as the center hole in the wheel and was frozen together. there was a little hole in the center of the drum, that was adding to the problem. the consumer had to get a hammer and repeatedly beat upon the wheels to dislodge them. *ak *sc | |||
