WHEELS:RIM
I HAVE A QUESTION AS TO IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE ACTUAL RIM OF THE TIRE, THE WHEEL ITSELF. MY BRAND NEW TIRE WOULD LOSE AIR AND NO LEAK COULD BE FOUND, SO I REPLACED THE TIRE WITH ANOTHER NEW ONE. THE PROBLEM KEPT OCCURING - FINALLY THE CULPRIT WAS FOUND TO BE A SMALL PINHOLE LEAK IN THE ACTUAL WHEEL, LOCATED ON THE FAR INSIDE. I WAS TOLD BY 3 SEPARATE MECHANICS THAT THIS HOLE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ANY TYPE OF MACHINERY AND IT MIGHT BE A DEFECT IN THE RIM ITSELF. MY QUESTION IS IF THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND IF ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. I DONT HAVE MY VIN # AS MY CAR IS NOT WITH ME RIGHT NOW. I CAN SUPPLY LATER IF NEEDED. SHOULD I CONTACT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A USED "PROGRAMED CAR" IN FEBRUARY, 2000. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS DRIVEN JUST FINE UP UNTIL FEBRUARY 24, 2002. IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO HAVE CLEAR LIQUID LIKE SMOKE EMIT FROM THE REAR EXHAUST PIPE. I HAD JUST FILLED THE CAR UP WITH GAS. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I HAD A "BLOWN HEAD GASKET". THIS IS VERY, VERY UNUSUAL FOR TOYOTAS. I HAVE OWNED TOYOTAS FOR OVER 16 YEARS NOW, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF A PROBLEM IN A NEW CAR. AFTER MY MECHANIC HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OVER THE CAR, HE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS INDEED THE "HEAD GASKET". I ASKED HIM WHAT WOULD CAUSE A "HEAD GASKET" TO GO OUT ON A FAIRLY NEW TOYOTA? I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY PROMPT WITH MY GENERAL UPKEEP ON MY CARS, REGULAR OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATIONS, AND OTHER NECESSARY FILTER CHANGES. MY MECHANIC SAID, IT'S A GOOD POSIBILITY THAT THE HEAD GASKET COULD HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE. HE ASKED ME TO CHECK WITH SOMEONE TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON ANY 1999 TOYOTA CAMARYS. IS THIS THE TYPE OF INFORMATION THAT I CAN GET FROM YOU, OR DO I NEED TO CONTACT THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS FOR TOYOTA? PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL ME YOU RESPONSE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.*AK
