ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 1995 TOYOTA CAMRY BEGAN TO HAVE DOCUMENTED SIGNS OF OIL SLUDGE DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AROUND 1999. EACH TIME I WOULD HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND ANY REPAIRS MADE TO KEEP MY CAR IN GOOD AND WORKING CONDITION, IT WAS NOTED THAT MY OIL HAD SLUDGE. AT THAT TIME, I KNEW NOTHING OF THE TOYOTA SLUDGE ISSUE. AFTER HAVING THIS DIAGNOSIS A FEW TIMES, I WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR A SECOND OPINION SINCE THE "SLUDGE" PROBLEM KEPT RECURRING DESPITE OF REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I WAS TOLD ABOUT TOYOTA MODELS WITH COMPLAINTS OF ENGINE SLUDGE. MY MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED (1995 CAMRY, V4). I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED TOYOTA WITHOUT RECOURSE. I HAVE SPENT OVER 5K TO REBUILD MY ENGINE AND I AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FROM TOYOTA AND PETITIONING TO HAVE MY MODEL AND OTHER TOYOTA MODELS WITH ENGINE OIL SLUDGE TO BE RECALLED. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE 190-N APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES FROM MY HOME, MY HOOD DID POP OPEN AND WAS EJECTED FROM MY VEHICLE TRAVELING ABOUT 100 FEET STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING IN THE SAME DIRECTION CAUSING DAMAGE TO SAME. MY MECHANIC DID STATE THAT THE LATCH WAS EXTENSIVELY COVERED IN RUST. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO LOOK AT THE DAMAGE AND INVESTIGATE AS TO THE REASON MY LATCH DID NOT WORK RELEASING MY HOOD. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MANY FATALITIES HAD IT BEEN A BUSY WEEK DAY. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 8 YEAR OLD SON, THANK GOD I KEPT A CLEAR HEAD AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE PULLING IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE THAT WAS HIT DID STOP AVOIDING THE HOOD FROM STRIKING HIS WINDSHIELD BY INCHES DEFINITELY SAVING HIS LIFE. I NEED TO KNOW HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED.
