i've known of a couple that have had suspension worries - budget atleast a grand - but these cars have tend to have had a hard life.
i know of a couple aswell...i,v had 2 new ones...first one in 02 new set of suspension sensors at 5000 miles....by the time i sold it at 47000miles it had had 5 sets of sensors and had a 2 week stay with toyota towards the end of its 3 year warranty to sort a suspension problem they couldnt diagnose...ended up having to get someone from toyota technical in to fix it for them.
another problem is steering column motors on the VX same car had 4 sets of column motors by the time i sold it
VX number 2...bought new in september 05....3700 miles guess what..back to toyota for a set of suspension sensors
5500 miles....back to toyota for a set of steering column motors
its done 16,500 miles now and has been behaving its self ....so i might keep it longer than 3 years
it could be worse though....buy a landrover or range rover then you,ll really get to know your service manager at the main dealer well!
davie did i mention buy a GX?
