WHEELS
THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL OF OUR 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY SUDDENLY CAME OFF FROM THE AXEL WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (AROUND 65 MPH). THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE 78 HIGHWAY IN PA. THIS LEAD TO CAR SINKING TO THE LEFT AND HITTING THE GUARD RAIL, THEN SPNNING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, HITTING THE OTHER GUARD RAIL. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. PEOPLE WERE INJURED, ONE PERSON AT THE BACK SEAT HAD HEAD INJURY, ONE HAS HAD CHRONIC NECK PROBLEMS SINCE THEN, OTHERS KEEP HAVING NECK TROUBLES OFF AND ON. THE WHEEL JUMPED THE MEDIAN AND FLEW OFF TO THE OTHERSIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE COMING OFF OF THE WHEEL WAS SUDDEN, GIVING NO TIME TO THE DRIVER TO DO ANYTHING TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE CAR ONLY HAD ROUGHLY 55,000 MILES ON IT AND WE HAD GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE AND MULTIPOINT INSPECTION SERVICE ON THE CAR ABOUT 1000 MILES BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO AXEL RELATED PROBLEM INDICATED IN THE SERVICE. THAT SERVICE WAS DONE BY A TOYOTA DEALER. THE ACCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE AROUND US ON THE HIGHWAY OR THE WHEEL COMING OFF WOULD HAVE HAD FATAL RESULTS.*AK

2003 TOYOTA CAMRY PROBLEMS WITH LEFT PULL.*MR THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. THE TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND INDICATED IT WAS EITHER AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM OR TIRES.

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT, TIRES
2002 TOYOTA CAMRY LEV6 W/15" RIMS. CAR IS UNSTABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS. WE ARE NOW ON OUR THIRD SET OF TIRES AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 21,000 MILES ON IT. FIRST SET (CONTINENTAL) BECAME BALD ON OUTSIDE EDGE OF BOTH FRONT TIRES AT 9000 MILES. TIRES WERE ROTATED (FRONT TO REAR, REAR TO FRONT) AND FRONT END ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. TIRES BECAME BALD ON OUTSIDE EDGE AFTER ONLY 8000 MILES (17000 TOTAL MILES ON CAR). DEALER REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH DUNLOP AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. AFTER 2500 MORE MILES CAR AGAIN BECAME UNSTABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 75 MPH AND AS THE TIRES WORE IT BECAME UNSTABLE AT LOWER SPEEDS 55-65 MPH. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AGAIN WITH MICHELIN THIS TIME AND DID ANOTHER FRONT END ALIGNMENT. NOW WITH ONLY 1200 MILES ON THE NEW TIRES IT IS AGAIN BECOMING UNSTABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS 65-75 MPH. WE WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. *JB
