JUST READ ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE HONDA'S THAT LET THE IGNITION KEY BE REMOVED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK. I HAVE A 1994 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WHICH HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES PER MONTH I PARK THE CAR AND REMOVE THE KEY. WHEN I RETURN AND THE CAR WON'T START, I NOTICE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED. DATE SUBMITTED BELOW IS NOT ACCURATE. I ENTERED IT SO THAT I COULD CONTINUE. *LA

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THIS ENGINE SEIZED DUE TO ENGINE GEL OR SLUDGE. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I TOOK IT TOO LIED ABOUT THE FAILURE AS WELL AS TOYOTA CORPORATE DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS PARTICULARLY INSULTING BECAUSE WE OWN A 1998 CAMRY THAT IS UNDER THE GEL PROGRAM AND HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH CAMRY'S. WE TRUSTED THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO AND THEY LIED AND SAID THAT IT WAS AN UNFORESEEN PROBLEM AND THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD CAUSED IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MATTER TIRELESSLY AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE 2.2 LITER ENGINE THAT IS IN THIS CAR IS IN FACT AT RISK FOR GEL OR SLUDGE. I BELEIVE THAT I HAVE PROOF OF THE SLUDGE PROBELM. TOYOTA CORPORATE IS DENYING ANY RESPONSIBLITLY FOR THIS ENGINE FAILURE THEY PAID FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR UNDER A GOODWILL WARRANTY AND NEVER TOLD ME WHY THIS HAPPENED TO THIS ENGINE. WHEN THE ENGINE SEIZED LUCKILY MY SON WAS ON A CITY STREET,, WHAT IF HE HAD BEEN ON ONE OF THE MANY BRIDGES IN THE JACKSONVILLE AREA OR TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED? WHEN WILL THE NHSTA HOLD TOYOTA RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE ENGINES THAT THEY HAVE WORKED SO HARD DEFENDING WHILE BLAMING OWNERS?*AK
