SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
MY CAMRY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS FALLING APART! THE SCREWS HAVE FALLEN OUT OF THE DOORS THREE TIME AND THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS ONLY SOLUTION IS TO PUT SILICONE IN THE SCREW HOLES WHICH NOW CAUSES THE THE DOORS TO SQUEAK. THE CAR IS DRAGGING THE GROUND AS A RESULT OF POOR STRUTS. I CONTINUE TO GET THE RUN AROUND WITH THE MANUFACTURE. *NLM

SUSPENSION:REAR
THUMPING NOISE IN REAR SUSPENSION OF MY 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STABILIZER BAR IN THE REAR SUSPENSION. THIS NOISE CONTINUES TO GROW LOUDER. INSPECTION OF REAR SUSPENSION MAKES ME THINK THE STABILIZER BAR TIE ROD THAT ATTACHES TO THE COIL SPRING STRUT IS FAULTY.*JB

SUSPENSION, TIRES
I HAVE 2002 CAMRY SE V6. THE CAR CAME WITH BRIGESTONE TIRES THAT WERE TOTALLY UNCONTROLLABLE UNDER VERY LITTLE SNOW CONDITIONS. DRIVING THIS CAR ON A COUPLE OF SNOW DAYS GAVE ME THE SCARE OF MY LIFE. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND TOYOTA MANY TIMES AND DID NOT GET ANY HELP. I HAVE SPEND $300.00 TRADED MY NEW TIRES TO DIFFERENT TIRES. THE TRACTION OF THE VEHICLE GREATLY IMPROVED. I SIMPLY CAN NOT BELIEVE A 'REPUTED' CAR COMPANY CAN S... CUSTOMER LIKE THIS WHEN THEY SPEND $30,000 ON A BRAND NEW CAR. THE SECOND PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE CAR 'WOBBLES' WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. MAY COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERS GOT THE SAME RESPONSE: "THE ROAD ARE TO BE BLAMED, NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR". RECENTLY I GOT THE WHEEL BALANCE/ALIGNMENT DONE. NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE. I DRIVE MY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE SAME ROADS AND NEVER FEEL THIS WAY. DRIVEN OTHER CARS AND NOT FELT LIKE THIS. THIS DEFINITELY SEEMS SOME DEFECT IN THE SUSPENSION/WHEELS OR FRAME. TOYOTA - YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR PEOPLE WILL JUST "TALK" ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND YOU WILL HAVE TO HEAR THEM. JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY CAR KEEPS STALLING OUT. I CAN SMELL GAS MOST OF THE TIME. WE CANNOT LOCATE A LEAK - HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL FILTER, DISTRIBUTOR CAP & OXYGEN SENSOR BUT WHEN IT RAINS OR IS HUMID THE CARS STALLS UNTIL IT GETS WARM (AFTER RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES). THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL EVEN SLIGHTLY. NO ONE CAN LOCATE THE PROBLEM - SOMEONE I WORK WITH HAD ONE THAT DID THE SAME THING UNTIL THEY SOLD IT. YOU CAN PAD THE PEDAL AND SOMETIMES GET PAST THE POINT OF STALLING. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
AS OF THIS WEEK THE FLEX PIPE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS DETERMINED TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS CAUSED EXHAUST GASES TO BE EMITTED UNDER THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE LOCAL DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THIS PART WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE CONVERTER BECAUSE HE SAYS THAT THE PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IS A SINGLE ASSEMBLY ATTACHED TO THE MALFUNCTIONING "FLEX PIPE".

SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT RATTLE PRESENT FOR TWO YEARS. ON 03/30/03 DURING A DRIVE AT 56 MILES/HR SPEED, STRUT RATTLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE GREW WORSE SUDDENLY AND FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. ON CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD, THE LEFT STRUT CENTER BOLT CAME OFF COMPLETELY AND ITS THREADS WERE COMPLETELY STRIPPED. STRUT CAME OFF THE MOUNT SLEEVE. AFTER A NEW STRUT IS PUT ON THE VEHICLE, THE DAMAGED STRUT IS CHECKED AND ITS TOP THREADS (WHERE THE CENTER NUT GETS FASTENED) WERE PARTIALLY STIPPED.
