AIR BAGS
AS I WAS PREPARING TO CROSS A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH A MEDIAN, TWO GEORGIA STATE PATROL CARS WERE SITTING IN THE MEDIAN. I PROCEEDED TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY WHEN ONE OF THE PATROL CARS TURNED ON HIS HEADLIGHTS. I FROZE, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. AT THAT MOMENT, I WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY A CAR SPEEDING AT 73 MPH. I SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY AND HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE CAR. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *TR

2008 CAMRY BURNS OIL. NOTICED IT IN DEC 2011 AND DEALER INFORMED THAT I NEED TO BRING IT IN AND PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AS IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. DIDN'T NOTICE IT FOR A WHILE AND NOW AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM AND MY CAR WAS TOTALLY OUT OF OIL 2200 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. ALL OIL CHANGES WERE DONE AT TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE CAR. SPOKE TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AT A DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR ANY EXPENSES TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA CAMRY HOME FROM WORK, WHEN MY ENGINE STARTING SMOKING AND ALL THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT MY WATER PUMP HAD FROZE UP, CAUSING MY MOTOR AND EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD TO BE BURN UP. MY HEAT INDICATOR LIGHT DIDN'T NOT COME ON AT ANYTIME. IF I HAD KNOWN THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP WOULD HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD MY TOYOTA THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUPPORT FAILED WHILE DRIVING. WENT TO TILT IT DOWN AND BROKE LOOSE TO A POINT WHERE IT JUST HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN AND SWINGS FREELY AND COMPLETELY BLOCKING MY VISION. HAD TO HOLD IT WITH ONE HAND UNTIL I WAS SAFELY OFF THE ROADWAY. THERE IS NO WAY IT WILL SUPPORT ITSELF, SO I HAD TO TAPE OR WIRE IT UP WHICH MAKES IT USELESS BLOCKING SUN (IT'S PURPOSE.) *TR
