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

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WE PURCHASED A 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY LE AND LIVE IN SYRACUSE, NY. WE RECEIVE ABOUT 190" OF SNOW PER YEAR AND THEY PUT GOODYEAR INTEGRITY "ALL SEASON" TIRES ON THIS CAR. WE HAVE SLID THROUGH SEVERAL STOP SIGNS AND INTERSECTIONS. THESE TIRES ARE TOUTED AS "ALL-SEASON" BUT WHEN WE CALLED GOODYEAR THEY SAID THAT THEY WEREN'T INTENDED TO BE DRIVEN IN THE SNOW. WHEN I ASKED HER IF WINTER WAS A SEASON, SHE SAID YES BUT.....I ASKED HOW MUCH SNOW CAN THESE TIRES DRIVE THROUGH AND STILL PERFORM AND SHE STATED 2-4 INCHES IS THE NORM. BOTTOM LINE...THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AT BEST. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. THEY DON'T EVEN PERFORM WELL IN RAIN. IF YOU HAVE THESE TIRES, CALL AND COMPLAIN TO GOODYEAR IMMEDIATELY. THEY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PUT THESE TIRES ON ANYONE'S CAR. WHY EVEN BOTHER WITH ABS AND AIRBAGS IF THE TIRES CAN'T STOP THE CAR? *NM

TIRES
IN AUG 26, 2004 I PURCHASED FOUR NEW GOODYEAR ALLEGRA P205/65R15 FROM SAMS CLUB IN PEARL CITY, HI. I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY TIRES IN JANUARY 2005 AND TOOK IT BACK TO SAMS CLUB TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT MY TIRES AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT MY RIM WAS BENT AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, I TOOK MY CAR TO A GOODYEAR SHOP IN EWA BEACH TO HAVE MY RIMS CHECKED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY RIMS. SO I TOOK THE TIRES BACK TO SAMS CLUB THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON 02/16/2005, AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I INDEED DID HAVE THREE DEFECTIVE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE. SO SAMS CLUB REFUNDED MY MONEY AND I BOUGHT ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRES IN PLACE OF THE RECALLED TIRES.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
MY 1999 CAMRY HAS SQUEALING SOUND IN THE FRONT END AND ITS STRUT MOUNTS ARE BAD FOR A WHILE BEFORE IT REACHED 50000 MILES. I NEVER IMAGINED SUCH A PROBLEM WITH CAMRY. IT WAS NOT LIKE PEOPLE SAID THAT CAMRY HAD VERY GOOD RECORDS. MY CAR HAS MANY PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH IT SUCH AS ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF AND NEVER SOLVED. I PAID $99 ONCE FOR THE CHECKING AND DEALERS PAID MANY TIMES. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT AND THE BRAKE CAN NOT STOP CAR FAST ENOUGH THAT CONTRIBUTED A ACCIDENT IN 2001. THE DOOR SIDE TRIM HAS BEEN OFF THE LINE AND LOOKS UGLY, ETC. I FEEL A LOT OF HEADACHE WITH IT. *JB
