My car got stall on the road, it had a problem related with the hybred system. I took it to the Toyota dealer and they said it was in a recall list. So they fixed but they damaged the suspension of my car and now they don't want to fix it. My car is making a noise when I move the steering wheel and also when I brake. My car wasn't making such noise before the stall on the road. I am frustrated with all this problems in my car.
