ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
ON THREE OCCASIONS 10/27/00,01/15/01, AND 3/19/01 THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURED WITH MY VEHICLE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME. ON THE FIRST OCCASION THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FOUND AND THAT THEY CLEARED THE CODE. ON THE SECOND OCCASION THE DEALER DECLARED ON PAPER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR. ON THIS OCCASION THEY REPLACED THE COIL PACK. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER YET REGARDING THE ISSUES CURRENTLY AT HAND. ON ALL 3 OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS DIED. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND THE CAR HAS DIED. I HAVE GONE TO TURN A CORNER AND THE CAR HAS DIED. I HAVE GONE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR HAS DIED. WHEN I GO TO START THE CAR THERE IS NO POWER AND THE MAXIMUM SPEED I CAN DRIVE IS APPROXIMATELY 15MPH. BOTH TIMES I HAVE ALMOST GOT INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT DO TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE RODE.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS TOO SENSITIVE FOR ROAD CONDITIONS. SLIGHTEST VARIATION IN ROAD CONDITION CAUSES ABS SYSTEM TO GO INTO PANIC MODE BRAKING. ON MANY OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP BECAUSE OF ROAD WAS WET UNDER ONE TIRE AND NOT THE OTHER. CURRENT WINTER CONDITONS CAUSE ABS SYSTEM TO BRAKE ERRATICLY EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE BRAKES TO BE PULSATING LIKE THEY DO OR FOR THE BRAKES TO VIBRATE SO LOUD TO CAUSE THE DRIVER TO PANIC . I DREAD DRIVING THIS CAR FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW THE BRAKING SYSTEM WILL REACT. *AK

SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MANY OCCASIONS HAS DROPPED TO THE FLOOR PAN FO NO APPEARANT REASON. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT BOTH HIGHWAY SPEED AND IN-CITY SPEEDS. I HAVE TO PUMP THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES FOR IT TO MAINTAIN BRAKE PRESSURE. IF I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL LONG ENOUGH IT EVENTUALLY DROPS. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
BRAKE PADS ARE WEARING OUT PREMATURELY. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED THE BRAKES MAKE A LOUD VIBRATING NOISE WITH POOR STOOPING EFFECT. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS HIGHWAY YET THE BRAKE WEAR OUT AS IF I APPLY THEM CONSTANTLY. DEALER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT BRAKE WEAR HAS BEEN ERRACTIC WITH CAR, YET ALL THEY RECOMMEND IS REPLACING BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACING THE ROTORS EVERY 10000 TO 15000 MILES. I'VE REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND NEED TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN SOON SINCE THEY ARE WORN AGAIN. IN GENERAL, THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHCLE FUNCTION POOR AT BEST WITH PREMATURE WEAR OUT OF BRAKE PADS AND DRUMS.*AK

I AM A LITTLE DISPLEASED WITH MY 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY. I BOUGHT IT AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 19,300 MILES. ALREADY, I HAVE SHELLED OUT 450.00 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS, DISC PADS, AND ASSEMBLY. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAD FAILED BEFORE, AND I HAD THEM REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. THE DASH LIGHTS JUST FAILED RECENTLY, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE REAR LIGHTS BURNED OUT IN NOV. I LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CUST. SERVICE CENTER, BUT I STILL FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS A LEMON. WHAT NEW 1999 CAR WITH 30,000 MILES HAS HAD THIS MANY FAILURES? PLEASE SEND ME ANY OTHER INFO THAT MIGHT PERTAIN TO THIS, OR ANY INFO YOU HEAR BACK. ITR WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I DON'T WANT TO BE TAKING MY CAR IN FOR MAJOR SERVICE EVERY YEAR!!!
