SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
BRAKE ROTORS WARPED TWICE WITHIN 6 MONTHS, BRAKE PADS OK. BRAKING SOMETIMES SEEMS TO TAKE AN EXTENDED TIME TO STOP. DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT I MUST RIDE THE BRAKES. I HAVE OWNED OTHER CAMRYS AND DIFFERENT VEHICLE FOR MUCH LONGER THAT THIS CAR, AND NEVER HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR ON MY BREAKS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE. ONLY HAS 82K. I HEARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT THIS IS A DEFECT WITH 92-94 CAMRY AND LEXUS. IN FACT, A LEXUS WAS BEING TOWED INTO THE SHOP WHEN I WAS THERE WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVEN'T HAD IT FIXED YET BECAUSE IT WILL COST $1700, WHICH I DON'T HAVE. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS OF $310 A MONTH AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR IT PER CONSUMER GOODWILL. ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.*AK

#726157July 28, 2000
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. AFTER DOING SO I NOTICED A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE IN THE NEW HEADLAMP AND THE ORIGINAL. THE ORIGINAL BEAM WAS SO DIFFUSED AND YELLOW COLORED THAT MY NIGHT TIME VISION WAS REDUCED GREATLY. I REPLACED THE PASSENGER HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY ALSO, TO IMPROVE MY NIGHT TIME DRIVING. AFTER THIS OCCURENCE I HAVE NOTICED OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS OVER TIME AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING NIGHT TIME VISIBILITY.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A WARRANTY ON THE SEATBELT AND WAS TOLD NO. I'M THINK I'VE HEARD SOMEWHERE THAT ALL SEAT BELT HAD A LIFETIME WARRENTLY? I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS CORRECT. AND WONDERED IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DO WITH THE SEAT BELT. IT DOES NOT RECALL OR DOES IT TIGHTEN WHEN I BREAK HARD. NOW IT DOES NOTHING BUT FLAP ACROSS MY CHEST. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC MODEL. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, SUSAN PHAM.*AK
