We noticed a loud noise coming from the rear of the car a 2003 Toyota Corolla. It was noticeable beginning at 20 mph and level of noise increased with speed. Researched internet for recall problems and found recall #02V074001 for hub and axle defect. Took car to the dealer, who said there was no recall;, only a service advisory. We paid for repairs. Our vehicle was not included in recall due to the VIN although dealer insisted he could not find recall information.. I have another Toyota Corolla with the same problem and felt that these cars should have been included in the recall since it seeme D to be a common complaint among Corolla users.

Car began making a very loud noise that sounded like a small plane with lots of vibrations coming from the rear of the car. Thought it was the tires, but after replacing the tires, the noise remained. Took it into Toyota dealer and was informed that the rear hubs needed replaced. Was told that if the hubs were not replaced that the car would lose control. Spent over $1200 on new rear hubs.

When I was driving the vehicle it started to make a rumbling and rattling sound in the rear of the vehicle. I notified Toyota corporation and they flat out refused to assist me or offer any "good faith" measure or any service whatever to assist me with the defect. The rear passenger wheel bearing hub assembly was leaking and was not detectable when the car was taken for services and inspection.
