ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
VEHICLE STALLS IN TRAFFIC AND THEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE IS OKAY. MANUFACTURER STATES THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES.*AK.....VEHICLE HAS A HESITATION PROBLEM. ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS CONSUMER WAS PLACED IN DANGER OF CROSSING A BYSY HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE...AT ALL. THE ENGINE HAS A ONE MINUTE DELAY BETWEEN THE TINE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED TO THE TIME THE RPMS BEGIN TO GO UP. FURTHERMORE, WHEN CROSSING AN UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION ON A HIGHWAY WITH 55+ MPH TRAFFIC THE HESITATION CAN LAND CONSUMER'S VEHICLE IN THE ONCOMING LANE TOO LATE. THE LUNGE THAT AKES PLACE WHEN VEHICLE FINALLY DOES ACCELERATE, IS A VERY JERKY AND UNSAFE RIDE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
INTERMITTENTLY, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL SINK COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. ONCE THE CAR REACHED ABOUT 5000 MILES, IT WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN LUNGE FORWARD SEVERAL FEET, STOP, MAKE A MOANING SOUND, THEN LUNGE FORWARD AGAIN; ALL WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY FAULT LIGHTS COME ON MY DASHBOARD. IT THEN DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT 10 MILES WHEN THE SAME PATTERN REPEATED ITSELF AGAIN, EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, OR REPEAT THE PROBLEM. THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO RETURN WHEN THE PROBLEM REPEATS ITSELF. OF COURSE, I?M HESITANT TO DO THIS SINCE THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE MAY GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE HELP! *JB

TOYOTA CAMRY LE MODEL HAS THREE PROBLEMS: IDLE CONTROL IS ABOVE 2400, ROD THAT HOLD PISTON IS NOT SECURE TO HOLD IT TIGHT AND CAUSING THE PISTON TO JIGGLE AROUND, TOYOTA SAID THAT IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE.

DEALER IS VERY UNFRIENDLY AND THEY GAVE ME RUN AROUND, THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION AND STILL HAS SAME PROBLEMS I HAD BEFORE THEY REPLACE THE ENGINE AND HAS NOT FIX THE OTHER PROBLEMS AND REFUSES TO GIVE ANYONE ELSE'S NAME TO TALK TO. 800# TELLS ME TO CALL DEALER AND DEALER TELLS ME TO CALL 800# AND STILL UNABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY TOYOTA OR RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. BECOUSE OF THE POOR SERVICE WHEN YOU HAVE PROBLEM THEY DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO YOU AND THEY GIVE YOU RUN AROUND.*AK

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. I TRUCK TURNED IN FRONT ON ME. HIS TRUCK HIT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE(FRONT LIGHT) AL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BACK DOOR. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR SHATTERED THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK WINDOW HAS HAD A WHISLEING SOUND SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE WAY THE CAR WAS MADE THAT IT WASN'T VERY SOUND PROOF BUT WHEN I RODE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE IT DIDN'T MAKE THE SOUND. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WEATHERSTRIPPING OR THE WAY THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SEALS. *AK
