POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE. ONLY HAS 82K. I HEARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT THIS IS A DEFECT WITH 92-94 CAMRY AND LEXUS. IN FACT, A LEXUS WAS BEING TOWED INTO THE SHOP WHEN I WAS THERE WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVEN'T HAD IT FIXED YET BECAUSE IT WILL COST $1700, WHICH I DON'T HAVE. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS OF $310 A MONTH AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR IT PER CONSUMER GOODWILL. ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THIS IS A GENERAL RATHER THAN SPECIFIC COMPLAINT, ABOUT ONE OF THE GREATEST DANGERS ON THE ROAD: THE POSSIBILITY OF SUDDEN BREAKAGE OF THE TIMING BELTS IN MANY CARS. THEY ARE PRONE TO BREAK WITHOUT WARNING, LEAVING THE CAR TOTALLY WITHOUT POWER, POWER-ASSIST STEERING, OR POWER BRAKES, AS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE IN THE ABOVE CASE. FEW PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THIS DANGER, OR OF THE NEED TO REPLACE THE TIMING BELT AFTER 50,000 MILES OR SO. THE MADDENING THING IS THAT UNBREAKABLE METAL TIMING CHAINS ARE AVAILABLE (AND USED ON THE SAME ENGINES IN PICKUP TRUCKS, I BELIEVE) BUT ARE NOT INSTALLED IN AUTOS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOISIER.*AK
