I bought the car new and have had it in the shop 4 times for the rear suspension. First two times was due to the Toyota recall. Next time I was driving to work when one of the rear suspension "recall bars" broke and the right rear tire went up in to the wheel well. Fortunately I was traveling at a slow speed or I would have been in an accident. This time I had to be towed to the shop.
I went in for an oil change at 65K miles and during the inspection, they noticed the two lines for the anti-sway bar in the rear were broken. The dealer stated it was due to corrosion. I did not but that was the entire link was broken off, no bolts left and the suspension arms were clean with no corrosion. If it were corrosion, one would expect to see it elsewhere as well. That repair was $550.
Toyota was supposed to be a quality car, I have had issue with the rear suspension of this car ever since I purchased it. Never again
