WHEELS:RIM
THE ALLOY RIMS ON MY 2000 CAMRY PURCHASED 5/03 ARE SHOWING EXCESSIVE CORROSION. ALL THE VEHICLES OVER TWO YEARS OLD ON THE DEALERS LOT ALSO HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE TOYOTA CERTIFICATION PROGRAM IGNORED THE PROBLEMS AS I WAS TOLD IT DID NOT MAKE THE RIMS DANGEROUS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY BRAKE DUST AND THERE IS NO CORRECTIVE REMEDY.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THREE OF FOUR MICHELIN TIRES EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION, RESULTING IN ERRATIC AND DANGEROUS BEHAVIOUR OF THE VEHICLE, A 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY. TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2001 FROM SEARS, WHO ONLY WOULD PRO-RATE THE TIRES. THE DOT #S FOR TWO OF THE TIRES ARE 2XJ9 DMX 2001 AND 2XJ9 DMX 1901. I DID NOT RETAIN THE DOT NUMBER FROM THE FIRST TIRE THAT FAILED, AS I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. HOWEVER, THREE OF FOUR TIRES FAILED, INDICATING THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM/DEFECT. LUCKILY, THE SEPARATIONS WERE DETECTED BEFORE ANY OBVIOUS DAMAGE WAS CAUSED AND BEFORE ANY BLOWOUTS OCCURRED. THEY DID, HOWEVER, RESULT IN DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR OF THE CAR, ESPECIALLY ON WET OR SNOWY ROADS.THE CAMRY WAS USED AS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY UNUSUAL USE. TIRES WERE INFLATED PROPERLY AND CHECKED PERIODICALLY. THE FIRST TIRE FAILED IN APPROXIMATELY APRIL 2003, THE SECOND IN MAY 2003, AND THE THIRD IN JULY 2003. FOURTH TIRE SHOWED NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF FAILURE, BUT WAS REPLACED ANYWAY.*AK

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER, SEAT BELTS:FRONT
OWNER OF A 1993 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH MALFUNCTIONING SEATS BELTS. ONE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR RETRACTABLE SEATBELT DOES NOT WORK . I INFORMED TOYOTA OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT ASSIST IN THE MATTER BECAUSE THE BELTS WERE OUT OF WARRANTY. BELTS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR NOT 6 YEARS 60,000 MILES LIKE THEY STATED . I HAVE ONE YOUNG CHILD AND ONE ON THE WAY. AND BECAUSE OF ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS CANT COME UP WITH THE ALMOST THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS REQUIRED TO FIX THE ONE BELT. I AM VERY UPSET THAT EVEN SAFETY COMES WITH A PRICE TAG. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE?
