STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT
CAR STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHEN TRAVELLING 65-70 MPH, LEADING TO HITTING A BRIDGE WALL AND GOING DOWN HILL AFTER THAT.SUSPENSION AND STEERING HEAVILY DAMAGED, ALSO DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF CAR. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 4 YEARS NOW AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I SAW A CAR BEHAVE SO STRANGELY. SINCE TOYOTA CAMRY HAS SO MANY COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS SAYING THAT THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT, I AM THINKING IF THE CAR WAS TAMPERED WITH BEFORE SALE, CAUSING IT TO PULL TO THE RIGHT INSTEAD OF LEFT TO KEEP THE COMPLAINTS AT BAY.. ALSO WHILE DRIVING FOR THE 4 MONTHS THAT I HAD THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WOULD TURN TO THE RIGHT WHEN EVER I BRAKED(I SHOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS AT THAT VERY MOMENT) UNFORTUNATE THAT I AM DOING THIS AFTER BEEN AN HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BRAKES ON THE 2002 TO PRESENT CAMRYS, I HAVE CHANGED THE WHOLE SYSTEMS OUT, AND I KEEP TELLING TECH SUPORT THAT THE FLUID DRAINS BACK INTO THE MASTERCYLINDER FROM THE LINE THAT LOOPS UP ON NON ABS SYSTEMS, THE LINES LEAK ON THE ABS SYSEM DUE TO UNDER TIGHTING. THEY TELL US THAT THE SYSTEM WAS MADE TO BE SOFT FROM COMPLAINTS OF PREVIOUS OWNERS THIS IS ON 02 AND PRESENT. I SEE ALL THE BELOW BUT WHY WAIT BERFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED,SOMTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW. I WORK AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR 12 YEARS NOW AND THIS KEEPS GETTING SHOVED UNDER THE RUG, THE DESIGN IS A DEFECT IN IT SELF. AT LEAST DO THIS TEST, DRIVE A 02- 04 CAMRY NON ABS, 2AZ ENG 4 CYL, FIND A SAFE ROAD, RUNNING ABOUT50- 80, SLAM ON THE BRAKES, TO THE FLOOR THEY GO. HOPE NOTHING IS IN FRONT OF YOU. MAY NOT DO IT ON EVERY ONE. FIND ONE THAT WILL ,THEN BLEED THEM, STILL SOFT BUT WILL STOP BETTER,WAIT AWHILE THEN TRY IT AGAIN, TO THE FLOOR THEY GO. SORRY ABOUT THE FAKE NAME AND ALL BUT I WOULDEN BE WORKING AT TOYOTA OR ANY DEARLERSHIP VERY LONG REPORTING SOMTHING LIKE THIS. CALL ME A RAT IF YOU LIKE BUT THEN SAY,MAYBE HE IS JUST THINKING ABOUT ME AND MY LOVED ONES. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS TURN INTO A FIRESTONE THING.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ON MY 03 CAMRY HANGS DOWN. IT IS 4 INCHES OFF THE GROUND. I HAVE TRIED TO GET TOYOTA TO FIX IT BUT THEY SAY IT'S THE DESIGN INTENT. I'M AFRAID THAT IF THE CAR BOTTOMS OUT THE SYSTEM WILL FLY OFF THE CAR. I WATCH TWO PEOPLE DIE BECAUSE A MUFFLER FLEW OFF A VEHICLE AND WEDGED ITSELF INTO THE GAS TANK OF A TRUCK. IT CAUGHT THE HIGHWAY ON FIRE AND KILLED THE GUYS IN THE TRUCK. THE SYSTEM IS NOT INSTALLED ON THE CAR CORRECTLY. THERE IS A BRACKET THAT IS NOT HOOKED UP AND THE SYSTEM DOES NOT TUCK INTO THE EXHAUST CHANNEL. ALL THE CAMRY AND OTHER MODELS ON THIS FRAME ARE LIKE THIS. PLEASE HELP. *JB
