ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CAR HEATED UP. STAYED HOT. GARAGE TOLD ME IT WAS A HEAD GASKET/CAM HEAD PROBLEM THAT WAS A COURTSEY RECALL FROM TOYOTA. I ASKED WHAT THAT MEANT AND WAS TOLD IF SOMEONE COMPLAINS THEY WOULD FIX IT. THIS INFORMATION MY MECHANICE GOT FROM THE TOYOTA GARAGE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEARLERSHIP THEY DENIED TELLING MY MECHANIC THAT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD DO. IT COST ME OVER $1,500 TO FIX THE HEAD GASKET AND CAM. NOW THE RADIATOR FAN IS NOT WORKING CORRRECTLY AND IS RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS PROBLEM. CAN YOU DETERMINE IF THERE WAS COURTSEY RECALL AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE THE MANUFACTOR STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT.

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
MAJOR "BOTTOMING OUT" PROBLEM WHEN CAR IS CARRYING 4 ADULTS. VEHICLE ACTUALLY BANGS DOWN ONTO PAVEMENT WHEN ROLLING OVER THE SMALLEST SPEEDBUMP OR EXITING DRIVEWAY. DEALER NOTIFIED & REPLACED FRONT STRUTS 9/16/1999. HAVE YET TO "TEST" NEW PARTS. AIRCONDITIONER REEKS OF STRONG ODOR SINCE 1ST USE. REPORTED TO DEALER WHO USED A SPRAY IN THE AIRCON BUT SYSTEM STILL SMELLS STRONGLY. HAVE NOT REPORTED ABS BRAKE SITUATION TO DEALER AS THIS HAS OCCURRED 3X. HAVE NEVER HAD ABS BRAKES BEFORE & THOUGHT IT WAS "NORMAL." IF STOPPING VERY SUDDENLY, ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND VIBRATES. HAS NOT HAPPENED RECENTLY AS A SHORT-STOPPING SITUATION HAS NOT ARISEN. DO NOT KNOW IF BRAKE/VEHICLE SHUDDER IS NORMAL?

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
AS I WAS BEGINNING TO DRIVE AFTER A RED LIGHT, MY CAR MADE A HORRIBLE ROARING-LIKE NOISE. MY LOCAL MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FRONT ENGINE PIPE AND REPLACED IT. THIS WAS ON APRIL OF 1999. IN AUGUST OF 1999, AS I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM A CAR WASH, THE CAR BEGAN MAKING THE SAME NOISE. I TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FRONT ENGINE PIPE. I AGAIN HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. SINCE THE ORIGINAL INCIDENT, THE CAR NOW ALSO MAKES A 'WHIRRING' NOISE EVERYTIME I ACCELERATE.
