The frame at the rf motor mount broke and the engine dropped so that the fan is hitting the shroud of the radiator, there seems to be a weakness in the weld location that the manufacturer changed on the 2007 frame in this location of the motor mount area.

Around 30,000 miles, i started getting a clunking noise everytime i came to a stop. Either when i stopped or when i took my foot off the brake.

Approximately one year ago, after numerous visits to the dealer, and one air conditioner compressor replacement, the dealership acknowledges that they heard the noise, and that several "other" tacomas on the lot made the same noise.
