SUSPENSION:REAR, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
OUR 1996 CAMRY WAS REARENDED ON 8-12-97. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED AT FIRST THEN SAID IT HAD TO BE REPAIRED. WE REJECTED THE CAR DUE TO THE UNSAFE CONDITION. I WAS FORCED BY AUCTION TO GO PICK UP CAR. (11000 DOLLARS LATER) I TOWED IT HOME. I ALSO TOWED IT TO GET AN ESTIMATE FROM ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER. (THAT WAS 3000 MORE DOLLARS OF WORK) AFTER PAYING FOR THIS CAR FOR 1 YEAR AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT WE TURNED IT IN. (REPOSSESED) TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT WAS NOTIFIED OF THE WORK IT NEEDED. THEY AUCTIONED IT AND NOW SOME UNKNOWING PERSON IS OPERATING THAT CAR. THE CAR IS VERY UNSAFE, I HAVE WRITTEN EVERYONE I CAN THINK OF ABOUT THIS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME ANY HELP ON THIS MATTER IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. RANDY MITCHELL 102 BERMUDA LN. MOYOCK NC 27958 919-435-6826

#700749November 19, 1998
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING (AND GEAR SHIFT IN PARK) IN DRIVE-THRU AT BANK. I MOVED THE GEAR SHIFT TO 'DRIVE' WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, AND WITH NO WARNING, THE ENGINE MADE A REVVING/RACING SOUND, AND THE CAR SHOT FORWARD AT GREAT SPEED. THE CAR TRAVELED THREE CAR LENGTHS (IF PLACED SIDE-BY-SIDE) AND AS I TURNED LEFT TO SWERVE, THE CAR HIT ANOTHER CAR CAUSING IT TO SPIN AROUND ABOUT 180 DEGREES. I WAS APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION AND IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR, I COLLIDED WITH THE CURB AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND THE CAR FINALLY CAME TO REST. THE REVVING/RACING NOISE CONTINUED FOR THE DURATION OF THE INCIDENT, AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS BRAKING, THE CAR NEVER STOPPED UNTIL I HIT THE CURB AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
WHEN BRAKING THERE IS A LOUD CLUNCKING SOUND. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO A TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WERE SLIPPING AND THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THIS WAS THE BRAKE DEIGN. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE CONSTANT SLIPPING WILL EVENTUALLY RUIN THE BRAKES. THUS, ENDANGERING ANYONE IN THE CAR.

#700668November 17, 1998
SUSPENSION:FRONT, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE FRONT BRAKES MAKE NOISE AND PRODUCE A GRINDING SOUND WHEN APPLIED WITH NORMAL PRESSURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT TOYOTA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT CAN'T FIX IT. MY REGULAR MECHANIC HAS HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH TOYOTAS FROM HIS CUSTOMERS. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT CAN'T BE FIXED. 2) ON MY 25,000 MILE SERVICE I COULD NOT HAVE MY BACK TIRES ROTATED BECAUSE THEY WERE CUPPED. I WAS TOLD THIS IS BECAUSE OF WEAK SHOCKS ON THE CAR. MY WIFE WHO WEIGHS 100 POUNDS IS THE ONE WHO DRIVES THIS CAR 85% OF THE TIME AND WITH MY TWO KIDS THE TOTAL WEIGHT IS LESS THAT 300 POUNDS. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD BOTTOM OUT BUT DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE POORLY PERFORMING SHOCKS. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THESE TWO PROBLEMS TO THE POINT THAT I WONDER WHERE ELSE TOYOTA CUT CORNERS ON QUALITY. IF THIS REPORT IS GOING TO TOYOTA, PLEASE PASS ON THAT THE CHANCES OF THIS CONSUMER BUYING ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS IS ZERO. ALSO, THE CHANCES OF A BAD REFERRAL IS HIGHLY PROBABLE. AT THE MINIMUM, IT IS BETTER THAN TOYOTA COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION TO A KNOWN PROBLEM.
