VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHEN THE TOYOTA CAMRY WAS PARKED BY A CURB ON THE STREET, WITHOUT ANYTHING OR ANYONE TOUCHING IT. THE WHOLE BACK WINDSHIELD SHATTERED INTO PIECES FOR NO UNKNOWN REASON. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE WIND WAS BLOWING A LITTLE STRONGER THAN NORMAL AND THE TEMPERATURE DROP ABOUT 15 DEGREE OVER THE TIME IT WAS PARKED. THE PICTURE IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE HOME. THE PIECES STARTED TO FALL DOWN AS I DROVE.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON SUNDAY, APRIL 7TH, I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON THE SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY AT EXACTLY FIFTY-FIVE MPH AND EXITED AT EXIT 17N. THE EXIT RAMP THERE IS SLOPED UPHILL AND PARALLELS TAYLOR ROAD. THERE IS A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THAT RAMP AT HEMPSTEAD AVENUE. JUST AS I WAS COMING TO THE END OF THAT RAMP AT VERY SLOW SPEED AND ALMOST TO THAT SIGN, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SPED UP WITH EXTREME ACCELERATION AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I SLAMMED MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FURTHER FORWARD AND THEN BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING ELSE, THE PHENOMENON ENDED AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL IDLING SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 700 RPM ON THE DASHBOARD TACHOMETER. I DROVE HOME AND PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, MONDAY APRIL 8TH, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY TO BRING THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER. AS I WAS PREPARING FOR THAT, I STARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I PUT IT INTO REVERSE IN ORDER TO BACK OUT WHEN THE ENGINE AGAIN SUDDENLY SPED UP TO EXTREME ACCELERATION. AGAIN, I SLAMMED MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THIS TIME I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK WHICH KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FURTHER. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE WAS ROTATED CLOCKWISE AND WELL UP INTO THE "RED" ZONE WHICH BEGINS AT 6000 RPM. IN A MOMENT OR SO, THE PHENOMENON AGAIN ENDED AND THE ENGINE AGAIN RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL IDLING SPEED.

ENGINE
I HAVE PROPERLY MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. TUESDAY I HEADED TO WORK AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE GAS STATION TO CHECK IT. I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE LESS THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR. I THE PROCEEDED TO PUT THREE QUARTS IN MY CAR. THE OIL LIGHT WENT OUT. I TOOK IT BACK TO TEXAS OIL LATER THAT DAY AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME THE OIL WAS FULL FOR THE MOMENT. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK AND HAVE IT CHECK THE FOLLOWING DAY. I COULDN'T GET THERE ON WEDS, I WENT THURSDAY. THE CAR WAS LOW TWO QUARTS OF OIL. THEY CHECKED THE CAR BOTH TIMES FOR AN OIL LEAK. NO LEAK. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AT FIRESTONE AND HE CHECKED THE OIL, FILLED IT UP AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND HE WOULD CHECK IT OUT REALLY GOOD. I WENT TODAY AND I HAD ALMOST NO OIL. ONE QUART. HE CHECKED THE CAR. NO OIL LEAKS. HE SAID THE CAR LOOKED REALLY GOOD FOR ITS AGE. THERE WERE NO LEAKS AND NO EXPLANATION FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION. HE TOLD ME IT NEEDED AN ENGINE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THE ENGINE COULD JUST SHUT DOWN ON ME. THAT SCARED ME. I WORK IN HOME HEALTH. I DRIVE MY CAR TO CLIENT'S HOMES. I AM AFRAID OF A FIRE OR SOMETHING WORSE HAPPENING WHILE I AM DRIVING.

AIR BAGS
YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS WITH MY WIFE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER "AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE CAR HAS 78,131 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TOYOTA OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THE "AIR BAG OFF" INDICATOR MEANS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I DID NOT SEE THAT TOYOTA HAS TAKEN ANY ACTION. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED OR KILLED. IF THERE IS A RECALL NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
