UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE PAINT ISSUE FOR SINCE AUGUST 1999, TOYOTA WILL ONLY REPAINT PART OF THE VEHICLE (HOOD, TRUNK, DECK) AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RECEIVE SATISFACTION FROM THE LOCAL TOYOTA (TORRANCE, CA). I KNOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT I WANTED TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
PASSENGER FRONT DOOR POWER LOCK FUSED SHUT. DEALER IN SHAWNEE, KS CLAIMED THAT CAMPAGIN NUMBER 92V135000 WAS PERFOMED AT ROCHESTER NY DEALER IN 1994. TOYOTA AUTHORIZED DEALER TO CHECK RELAY TO SEE IF CAMPAIGN WAS PERFORMED. INSPECTION AT DEALER CONFIRMS RELAY INSTALLED, BUT DOOR IS STILL FUSED SHUT AND DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR AS PART OF THE ORIGNAL CAMPAIGN (THEY ALSO WON'T OFFER TO DISABLE THE DOOR LOCK SOLENOID). FROM LOOKING AT CONSUMER COMMENTS AT NHTSA THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE EVEN THOUGH CAPAING WAS PROBABLY PERFORMED! *AK

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY ORDERED A LEFT-SIDE BACK SEAT BELT RATHER THAN THE CENTER BELT. THEY RE-ORDERED AND TOLD ME THE BELT SHOULD BE IN TODAY (9/13/00). I CALLED TODAY AND AM NOW TOLD THAT IT WILL NOT BE HERE UNTIL AT LEAST NEXT THURSDAY OR FRIDAY. I ASKED IF IT WAS COMING FROM JAPAN AND WAS TOLD THAT IT PROBABLY WAS. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFEFY ISSUE AS I HAVE THREE CHILDREN - AGES 4, 9 & 10. ALL ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE FRONT SEAT. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
THIS YEAR OF CAMRY WAS DESIGNED WITHOUT A TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT. SINCE THIS CAR DOESN'T HAVE A WARNING LIGHT OR AUDIBLE ALARM, AND SINCE THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL AUTOMATICALLY TO COMPENSATE FOR LOST POWER, THIS CAR COULD OVERHEAT AND CATCH ON FIRE BEFORE THE DRIVER WOULD KNOW IT WAS OVERHEATING. THIS AND THE FACT THAT TOYOTA'S RADIATOR IS MADE OF PLASTIC (DEALERS WILL NOT REPLACE THEM WITH AN OEM PART), LENDS TO MY EXPERIENCE OF THE CAR OVERHEATING AND THE ENGINE SELF DESTRUCTING (A $4500 PART, NEW) - I SPENT $3480 FOR A USED ENGINE. I FEEL THAT A MISSING WARNING LIGHT IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND THE CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
WE OWNED A 91 TOYOTA CAMERY, IT CAUGHT FIRE FOR THE SECOND TIME ONLY THIS TIME IT BURNED TO A CRISP. I REMEMBER THERE BEING A RECALL ON THE RADIO BEFORE, BUT THATS ALL. OUR CAR CAUGHT FIRE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND WE REPLACED THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO REASON FOUND WHY CAR CAUGHT FIRE. THIS TIME SATURDAY 9-10-00 IT CAUGHT FIRE ON THE PARKWAY. WHY? WE HAVE 3 VECHICLES, WELL WE HAD 3 NOW ONLY TWO. MY DAUGHTER DRIVE A TOYTA TERCELL, THE WOMAN OF THE HOUSE DRIVE A 96 AVALON. WE THOUGHT TOYATO WAS THE DEPENDABLE CAR. WE NEED SOME ANSWERS. I'M SURE YOU ARE NOT WHO I SHOULD DIRECTING THIS QUESTION TO, BUT I AM ASKING EVERYBODY I CAN. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME AT WORK OR AT HOME. I JUST NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPEN. THANKS, CRYSTAL WOODLEY. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
I WAS ACCELERATING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR SHUDDERED AND I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER QUICKLY, RELEASED THE HOOD AND STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR THRU THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS ON FIRE SO I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED SHUT THE HOOD AND CALLED FOR HELP. FORTUNATELY A MOTORCYCLE COP FROM THE SAN DIEGO POLICE WAS AT THE SCENE JUST MOMENTS AFTER IT HAPPENED. HE RADIOED FOR A FIRE TRUCK WHICH ARRIVED ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER AS THIS HAPPENED DURING THE RUSH HOUR (5:45 PM). THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES BY THEN. AAA HAS NOT DETERMINED YET IF THE CAR WILL BE TOTALLED BUT I'M PRETTY SURE IT WILL BASED ON THE EXTENT OF THE VISIBLE DAMAGE. I HAD THIS CAR SERVICED BY KEARNY MESA TOYOTA ABOUT TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THEY REPLACED THE VACUUM SWITCH VALVE.
