INTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED A 2001 CAMRY LE (NEW) AND THE DOME LIGHT DOES NOT WORK THE WAY THE MANUAL SAYS IT SHOULD. I HAVE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND KEYLESS ENTRY- WHEN I USE MY KEYLESS ENTRY MY DOME LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON THE WAY MY MANUAL STATES IT SHOULD. AND WHEN I FIRST CLOSE MY DOOR THE DOME LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON FOR THE 15 SECONDS LIKE THE MANUAL SAYS IT SHOULD. THIS IS VERY VERY UNSAFE FOR A PERSON TO GET INTO THIS CAR AFTER DARK!!!! IF SOMEONE WAS HIDING IN THE CAR THEY WOULD HAVE ALL THE ADVANTAGES - IF I USE MY KEYLESS ENTRY FROM 10 FEET AWAY AND MY LIGHT DOESN'T COME I CAN'T TELL SOMEONE WOULD BE IN THE CAR BUT, IN REALITY I HAVE JUST SIGNALED TO THAT PERSON THAT I'M ON MY WAY TO THE CAR, SO GET READY TO JUMP OUT AT ME. THEY'RE READY AND I WOULDN'T BE!!!!!!!! SOUNDS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO ME. HOW DOES TOYOTA JUSTIFY TAKING "AWAY" SAFETY FEATURES. IS THAT WHAT HAPPENES WHEN WE GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO DO BUSINESS IN AMERICA?*AK

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW TOYOTA CAMRY 2001 LAST WEEK (MAY 2ND). THE CAR HAS A DEFECT ON THE STEERING (STEERING IS LOOSE OR PULLS TO ONE SIDE) THAT THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX AFTER THE THIRD ATTEMPT. CAR IS STILL AT SERVICE CENTER, EACH TIME THEY TRY TO GET THE CAR BACK TO US WHILE THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. A TECHNICIAN AT THE CENTER MENTIONNED A FACTORY DEFECT. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED BY THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE WE PAID $20,000 FOR AND WOULD RATHER GET OUR MONEY BACK.*AK
