SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, INTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
I AM A LITTLE DISPLEASED WITH MY 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY. I BOUGHT IT AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 19,300 MILES. ALREADY, I HAVE SHELLED OUT 450.00 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS, DISC PADS, AND ASSEMBLY. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAD FAILED BEFORE, AND I HAD THEM REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. THE DASH LIGHTS JUST FAILED RECENTLY, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE REAR LIGHTS BURNED OUT IN NOV. I LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CUST. SERVICE CENTER, BUT I STILL FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS A LEMON. WHAT NEW 1999 CAR WITH 30,000 MILES HAS HAD THIS MANY FAILURES? PLEASE SEND ME ANY OTHER INFO THAT MIGHT PERTAIN TO THIS, OR ANY INFO YOU HEAR BACK. ITR WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I DON'T WANT TO BE TAKING MY CAR IN FOR MAJOR SERVICE EVERY YEAR!!!

SUSPENSION:FRONT
NOISE COMING FROM FRONT END WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, AT ANY SPEED. TOOK THE CAR TO OUR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE DETERMINED THAT BOTH FRONT STRUT ASSEMBLIES HAD FAILED. VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES. CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEM. OUR MECHANIC ORDERED PARTS, 2-3 WEEK NATIONWIDE BACKORDER. WE TRIED ALL OF THE TOYOTA DEALERS IN THE WASHINGTON, DC AREA. (THE ONLY PLACE TO OBTAIN THESE PARTS.) 55,000 MILES IS MUCH TO EARLY FOR THESE COMPONENT TO FAIL AND THE BACKORDER WOULD INDICATE THAT A PROBLEM IS SURFACING THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BRAKES MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. HAVE HAD REPLACED THREE TIMES, THE FIRST TIME UNDER A MANUFACTURER REPLACEMENT BULLETIN. THE 2ND TIME THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED WAS IN 6/99 (BRYAN EASLER TOYOTA...EXCELLENT SERVICE). THIRD TIME THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED -- 9/2000 AT 55,000 MILES (TOYOTA OF CONCORD). GRINDING NOISE HAS STARTED AGAIN -- 4 MONTHS AFTER REPLACEMENT WITH ONLY 8,000 MILES ON THEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE OWNED THIS CAR 3.5 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES SO MANY TIMES. I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. A FRIEND, ALSO WITH A '97 CAMRY, HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IF IT WERE A COSMETIC PROBLEM, IT WOULD BE NO BIG DEAL. BUT THESE ARE BRAKES -- A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR. ANY HELP TO GET THIS RESOLVED WILL BE APPRECIATED.*AK
