ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
WE OWNED A 91 TOYOTA CAMERY, IT CAUGHT FIRE FOR THE SECOND TIME ONLY THIS TIME IT BURNED TO A CRISP. I REMEMBER THERE BEING A RECALL ON THE RADIO BEFORE, BUT THATS ALL. OUR CAR CAUGHT FIRE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND WE REPLACED THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO REASON FOUND WHY CAR CAUGHT FIRE. THIS TIME SATURDAY 9-10-00 IT CAUGHT FIRE ON THE PARKWAY. WHY? WE HAVE 3 VECHICLES, WELL WE HAD 3 NOW ONLY TWO. MY DAUGHTER DRIVE A TOYTA TERCELL, THE WOMAN OF THE HOUSE DRIVE A 96 AVALON. WE THOUGHT TOYATO WAS THE DEPENDABLE CAR. WE NEED SOME ANSWERS. I'M SURE YOU ARE NOT WHO I SHOULD DIRECTING THIS QUESTION TO, BUT I AM ASKING EVERYBODY I CAN. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME AT WORK OR AT HOME. I JUST NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPEN. THANKS, CRYSTAL WOODLEY. *AK

#725326July 12, 2000
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WEBBING
DRIVER'S SIDE SHOULDER RESTRAINT FAILS TO MOVE INTO SAFE POSITION WHEN CAR IS STARTED. FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA OF RALEIGH WAS CONTACTED. THEY REQUESTED IT BE BROUGHT, IN SHOWING NO INTEREST IN THE SAFETY HAZARD OF DRIVING WITH AN INOPERABLE SEATBELT. I HAD AN INDEPENDENT TOYOTA TECHNICIAN LOOK AT TO NO AVAIL. I NEXT SEARCHED THE NHTSA WEB SITE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER CARS SIMILAR TO MINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO GET HELP. THEY ASSURED ME THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO THEM. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO FRED ANDERSON. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A WORN DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY. I ORDERED THE PART FOR ~$159. WHEN THE PART CAME IN, I ARRANGED AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT FIXED. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THEY WERE UNABLE/UNWILING TO FIX IT AS SCHEDULED. SO, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT SHOP. NORTH CAROLINA HAS MANDATORY AUTO SAFETY INSPECTIONS. THIS CAR WAS DUE FOR AN INSPECTION IN JULY AND WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY FAILED WITHOUT A WORKING SEATBELT. THE TOTAL COST TO DIAGNOSE/FIX THIS PROBLEM : ~$370.*AK
