TIRES
WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR TEXAS WAS IN A DROUGHT SO UNTIL IT STARTED RAINING HERE IN DALLAS I DID NOT KNOW THE CAR HYDROPLANED. I CHECKED THE AIR IN THE TIRES I DID ALL I COULD DO TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND THEIR WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OTHER THAN THE TIRES. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA SITE, I TOLD THE GUY WHO SOLD ME MY CAR, I SENT AN EMAIL TO GENERAL TIRES, TOYOTA NOR GENERAL TIRES EMAILED ME BACK. I HAVE ABOUT 22,000 MILES ON THE CAR NOW THE TIRES ARE WORE IN THE FRONT SO BEFORE I GO ON VACATION IN JUNE I WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES. SO FAR I HAVE KEPT CONTROL OF THE TIRE ONE TIME I DID SLIDE INTO THE CURB AND THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO FLIP, BUT THANK GOD NOT TOYOTA OR GENERAL WE DID NOT. I DON'T HAVE ANY CLAIMS AGAINST ANYONE, BUT THIS CAR OR THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE AND SOMETHING DOES NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. THANKS FOR WHATEVER YOU CAN DO.*AK (DOT NUMBER: ACUR3HU409 TIRESIZE: P205/65R15)

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAMRY FOR 6 YEARS , I HAVE TO CHANGE THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE EVERY THREE YEARS. THIS FAILURE CAUSED FROM MANUFACTURE DEFECT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ORIGINAL ONE AT THE FIRST TIME IN 1997. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THIS YEAR, BUT THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. FOR THAT IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, I HAVE TO USE THE TOYOTA PARTS, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT ANY COMPATIBLE PARTS IT COULD FIT IN. I THINK THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR THE CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT PARTS. EITHER THE TOYOTA SHOULD PAY FOR IT OR THE TOYOTA SHOULD IMPROVE THIS PARTS. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT PAY FOR IT.
