LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
THE INSIDE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE (THE OPENER) BROKE (SIMPLY SNAPPED IN TWO) AND BECAME INOPERABLE IN MY 2002 CAMRY. WHEN I WENT TO GET A REPLACEMENT, THE PARTS OFFICE TOLD ME IT HAPPENED EVERY DAY, IT WAS PLASTIC AND TO BE EXPECTED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IN AN EMERGENCY, THE RIDER WOULD HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME EXITING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE/HAD TWO OTHER CAMRYS- ONE A 1987 MODEL AND THE OTHER A 1996. NEITHER HAS HAD THE PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD FAR MORE USE OF THE DOOR HANDLE THAN THIS NEWER CAR. *JB

TIRES
I HAVE A 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I BOUGHT NEW.AT PRESENT THE CAR HAS JUST 20,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE CAR CAME EQUIPPED WITH GENERAL HP 400 A/S TIRES. AT PRESENT THE TIRES HAVE APPROXIMATELY 3/16 TREAD DEPTH.MY COMPLAINTS ARE: 1. WHILE DRIVING ON A WET BLACKTOP ROAD AT ABOUT 30 MPH , I GENTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR A CHANGING TRAFFIC SIGNAL.AT THAT TIME THE TIRES LOST TRACTION AND THE CAR SLID INTO THE INTERSECTION. THIS OCCURRED DEC. 2004. 2.WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP SIGN ON A SLIGHT UPGRADE,THE TIRES LOST TRACTION AND SPUN. THIS OCCURRED JUL 2005. I AM TO THE POINT WHERE I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN OR EVEN ON WET PAVEMENT. DO YOU HAVE ANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THESE TIRES ?

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
(1) MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY AFTER SLOWING DOWN A BIT ON AN EXIT RAMP. (2) HESITATION IN ACCELERATION - CAR ACTUALLY SLOWS DRAMATICALLY INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING. (3) ATTEMPTED TO EXERCISE WARRANTY AND THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT REPAIR. ATTEMPTED ARBITRATION AND THAT FAILED ALSO. NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS REGULARLY. THE DEALER TECHNICIAN CLAIMS THE CAR SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHEN BRAKING AND THEN NEEDS TO SHIFT BACK INTO GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE PERFORMANCE IS TYPICAL.
