POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, STEERING, STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT HARSHLY INTO DRIVE WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COLD BUT WHEN WARMED UP THE VEHICLE DROVE SMOOTHLY. THE STEERING WHEEL HUMMED WHEN TURNED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT A BUSHING FOR THE STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE LUBRICATED. THE UPPER AND LOWER BELT MOLDING AROUND THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAME OFF. A FAULTY CHARCOAL CANISTER CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. *AK *NLM

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE 57 SOUTH FWY ABOUT 7P.M. WHEN HER FRONT RIGHT TIRE EXPLODED INTO SERVAL PIECES... THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL TIRE AND EQUIPMENT. WE UNDERSTAND A FLAT COULD HAVE OCCURRED FROM EVERYDAY WEAR AND TEAR; HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE EVIDENCE OF THIS, WE WILL PROVIDE PHOTOS OF WHAT IS LEFT. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND OR RECALLED.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2003 TOYOTA CAMRY 3.0L V6 (MIDYEAR 210HP MOTOR) THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE STATED IT WAS NORMAL. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED IT WAS DANGEROUS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE IMMEDIATELY. WHEN THE PEDAL ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PUSHED FURTHER TOWARD THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE BOLTED OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITH A RUSH OF POWER. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT WAS HOW THE CAR WAS ENGINEERED, AND HE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE LEAD MECHANIC SAID THE CONSUMER NEEDED TO GET USED TO IT. IT HAD BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *AK *TS *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
2003 TOYOTA CAMRY V6 (MIDYEAR 210 HP MOTOR). THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR FADE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSING THE PEDAL. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING AS THERE ISN'T ANY "PEDAL" TO THE BRAKE AND HAS TO JUST KEEP PRESSING, PRESSING, PRESSING THE PEDAL UNTIL THE CAR STOPS. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE SAYS THIS IS HOW THE CAMRY BRAKES ARE DESIGNED AND IT IS NORMAL. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE INSISTS THAT SINCE HE CAN NOT REENGINEER THE CAR HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM. HE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER WAS "OBVIOUSLY" CONCERNED WITH THE PROBLEM, BUT THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE DISMISSED HIS CONCERN. IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA "THINKS" IT'S SMARTER THAN THE REST OF US. BUT PERHAPS THEY SHOULD TAKE A STEP BACK AND LOOK AT WHERE THAT ATTITUDE HAS GOTTEN A FEW OF THE OTHER AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS. THE CAMRY'S BRAKES DO NOT GIVE THE DRIVER A FEELING THAT THE BRAKES WILL STOP THE CAR. IN FACT, THE CAR DOES NOT STOP. THESE BRAKES ARE DANGEROUS. *AK *SCC
