ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT A NORMAL SPEED, WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISES. IT WAS DRIVEN TO THE NEAREST SAFE PLACE TO STOP, AT WHICH THE ENGINE CEASED FUNCTIONING. I'M TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT FOR A COST OF $4500. I PRESENTLY OWE $12,000 ON THIS CAR. THIS IS DUE TO THE SO-CALLED "OIL SLUDGE PROBLEM" AND I DEMAND IMMEDIATE COMPENSATION IN THIS MATTER. EVIDENTLY THOUSANDS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

TIRES
VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH TIRES DIRECT FROM THE FACTORY, WHEN DRIVEN IN LESS THAN ONE INCH OF SNOW WAS VIRTUALLY UNDRIVEABLE. SPEED DID NOT MATTER - 5MPH OR 40MPH SAME AFFECT - OR LACK THERE OF. ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR SKID CONTROL, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL WERE ACTIVELY FLASHING AT ALL TIMES - DRIVING OR BRAKING. CAR SLIDE THRU THREE INTERSECTIONS, WHILE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE CAR 1/2 BLOCK BEFORE INTERSECTION. CAR ALSO LACKED ACCELERATION, TAKING 20 SECONDS TO COMPLETE A TURN ACROSS A TWO LANE ROAD. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED SAME DAY. THEY RAN SEVERAL TESTS PER TOYOTAS TECH LINE ON ABS/SKID/TRACTION SYSTEM...LATER CHANGED THE TIRES AND THE MOST NOTABLE DIFFERENCE WAS MADE. IT IS AMAZING THAT NO ACCIDENTS OCCURRED.TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO SWAP TIRES FOR CLIENTS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR THE DRIVER, THE OTHERS ON THE ROAD AND ULTIMATELY THIS IS A TERRIBLE RISK FOR TOYOTA. PLEASE ENSURE TOYOTA AND OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS ARE TRULY TESTING THE VEHICLES AND ALL FEATURES THEY SELL SO CUSTOMERS CAN HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE THEY PURCHASE. AIRBAGS, TRACTION, AND ABS WILL ONLY BE EFFECTIVE IF THEY WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OTHER FEATURES OF THE CAR. THIS CAMRYSE THAT IS AFFECTEDIS NOT THE ONLY ONE AFFECTED.. PLEASE DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO ENSURE TOYOTA CORP. ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER.*AK (TIRESIZE: 215/60R16)
