ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET. SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THERE WERE BEARINGS IN MY OIL PAN. THEY SAID THAT SLUDGE PROBABLY PLUGGED UP THE OIL FLOW. I CAN\\'T BELIEVE A SIX CYLINDER TOYOTA ENGINE SHOULD FAIL AT 110,000 MILES.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 1994 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND I HAVE AN OIL SLUDGE PROBLEM. I HAVE KEPT VERY GOOD RECORDS OF THE SERVICE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE, AND HAVE HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES, BUT SOMEHOW THIS WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I APPLIED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE OIL SLUDGE PROGRAM BUT WAS DENIED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OLDER THAN THE MODELS IN THE OIL SLUDGE PROGRAM. I REALIZE THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE, BUT I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT OTHER MODEL VEHICLES ARE ALSO BEING AFFECTED BY THE OIL SLUDGE PROBLEM.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON MY 2000 TOYOTA CAMERA WITH 52000 MILES. WENT TO MONTROSE TOYOTA TO HAVE CHECKED OUT. CODE PO441 INDICATED VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR FOR EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS INOPERATIVE. CANISTER FAILING. COST OF REPAIR AROUND $500. THE ONLY CAUSE THE DEALER KNOWS OF FOR THIS FAILURE IS OVER FILLING THE GAS TANK AFTER IT SHUTS OFF. I DO NOT OVER FILL MY TANK. THIS IS A CHARCOAL CANISTER THAT TAKES IN GASOLINE VAPORS. OVER FILLING THE TANK WILL CAUSE THE CHARCOAL IN THE CANISTER TO START BREAKING UP. I WAS TOLD THIS IS AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM AND THESE DEFECTS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR UP TO 100000 MILES. *CB

SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED MY 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY LIMITED EDITION IN NOVEMBER OF 2003. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT WHILE I'M DRIVING - ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IN ADDITION THE CAR IS VERY SENSETIVE TO THE ROAD CROWN AND WIND. IT IS ACTUALLY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE CONSTANTLY IN SOME TYPE OF STRONG CROSSWIND. THE LEFT PULL IS SO NOTICEABLE THAT I CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M SURPRISED SOMEONE HASN'T WRECKED AS A RESULT OF THIS. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISES ME THAT THERE IS A FLAW IN THE ENGINEERING OF THE AUTOMOBILE AND THAT THEY GET THIS COMPLAINT QUITE OFTEN. I CONSIDER THIS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE THUS I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT. *AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
WHEN 98 CAMRY WAS FIRST BOUGHT IN SEPT 2000, I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY AIR BAG LIGHT GOING OFF EVER SINCE IT WAS DRIVEN OFF LOT. DEALERSHIP FIXED AND I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM EVER SINCE. IN JUNE 2003 I HAD FLOOR WIRING HARNESS REPLACED. THE END OF OCT, BEGINNING OF SEPT I NEEDED MY ALARM SYSTEM SWITCHED OUT WITH NEW KEY SYSTEM (THE ALARM SYSTEM IS SOMETHING I NEEDED TO HAVE DONE). SINCE THE ALARM SYSTEM WAS CHANGED OUT, MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OFF SINCE AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS A SENSOR PROBLEM AGAIN BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO FIX. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD WHEN I DROVE THE CAR OFF THE LOT. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS UP THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT I FEEL IS THEIRS. ITS ONLY BEEN 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD THIS CAR AND I FILL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHY WOULD I KEEP HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAG INDICATOR? THIS AIRBAG CAN GO OFF ANYTIME OR MAY NOT GO OFF WHEN IT IS REALLY NEEDED. *LA

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL:AUTOMATIC (ASC)
EVER SINCE I BROUGHT MY 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE HOME IT VEERED TO THE LEFT. ON EVERY TRIP BACK TO THE DEALER I MENTIONED IT AND EACH TIME I RECEIVED A DIFFERENT REASON FOR THE PROBLEM. AFTER TWO YEARS IT IS NOW TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DID AND PAID FOR ALL THE SOLUTIONS THE DEALER MADE AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. FROM WRONG TIRE PRESSURE TO ONE NEW AND OLD TIRE TO TWO NEW TIRES TO A WHEEL ALIGNMENT TO THE FACT THAT I PROBABLY DRIVE OVER BUMPS AND HOLES, THEY HAVE GIVEN MORE EXCUSES THAN ANSWERS. I AM AFRAID I WILL GET INTO A CRASH. THE STEERING WHEEL LITERALLY TURNS LEFT ON ITS OWN AND YOUR CAR SWERVES INTO THE LEFT LANE. *AK
