STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
EITHER THE FRAME IS OUT OF LINE OR SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT PARTS AS THE FRONT END CANNOT BE ALIGNED ACCORDING TO SPECS. THEY REPLACED BOLTS IN THE FRONT END FOR ALIGNMENT & THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF FRONT END SHIMMY AND TIRE WEAR.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
MY 1997 CAMRY IS HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS THE DEALER INFORMERD ME THAT THE ENGINE NEED A NEW SHORT BLOCK AND OVERHAUL, AND COST AND LABOR WILL BE $5952.56 PLUS TAX , AND THAT THE WORK WAS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRENTY BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE RECIEPTS FOR THE OIL CHANGES AND IN WHICH PAID THE COST OF $2011.52 JUST FOR THEM TO TEAR APART THE ENGINE AND FIND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE HAD ENGINGEERS FROM TOYOTA COME OUT TAKE PICTURES OF THE ENGINE AND TAKE A OIL SAMPLE AND AT THAT TIME THEY MADE THE DECISION THAT THE COMPANY WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THE CAR UNDER THE 60,000 MILE WARRENTY. THE EXPLANATION TO ME WAS THE PISTON RINGS WAS BURNT AND THE CYCLINDER WAS DEAPLY SCARED AND THERE WAS METAL FRAGMENT IN THEOIL PAN AND OIL PUMP AND THAT IT ALL NEEDED REPLACING. I DISAGREED WITH THEM WHEN THEY STATED TO ME THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF BAD OIL IN THE ENGINE ALSO I DID GIVE THEM THE LAST OIL CHANGE RECIEPT I DID WHICH WAS ONLY THE MONTH BEFORE AND ALSO TOLD THEM THAT MY CAR USELY SET IN STOREAGE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM THE ONLY DRIVER TO THE VEHICLE AND I WAS DEPLOYED AT SEA EVERY THREE MONTHS. ALSO ON THE $2011.52 PAYMENT THEY QUOTED ME A COST OF 2506.00 PLUS TAX , ALSO THE REASON I'M WRITING THIS IS BECAUSE A FRIEND GAVE ME A COPY OF THE OCTOBER 1999 CONSUMER REPORTS AD ON HIDDEN WARRANTIES AND THAT DID SOUNDED LIKE ONE OF THOSE CASES.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK
ON 21 JUNE 2000 MY WIFE AND I OPENED THE TRUCK OF THE CAR IN ORDER TO OFF LOAD A BUCKET OF SUPPLIES. SHE WAS LEANING INTO THE TRUCK WHEN THE TRUCK CAME CRASHING DOWN ON HER HEAD. BLOOD BEGAN POUR DOWN HER FACE AND SHE ALMOST PASSED OUT FROM THE FROCE OF THE BLOW. I TOOK HER TO THE HOSPITAL AND THEY CLOSED THE CUT USING 4 STAPLES. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE. "SAYING IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM". MY WIFE SUFFERS FROM HEADACHES DUE TO THAT INCEDENT. SHE WILL UNDERGO FURTHER TESTS.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
I WAS VERY SUPRISED TO SEE THAT WHEN I DID HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THE AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT OR DEPLOY, OUR SEATBELTS DID NOT LOCK. NO ONE WAS HURT. GOD FORBID THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS WILL COME OUT THE NEXT TIME OR THAT THE SEATBELT WILL LOCK UP. I WAS GOING ABOUT 75 MPH ON INTERSTATE 45 BETWEEN PARKER AND CROSSTIMBERS, THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THAT OCCURED ON THE SHOULDER-I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYONE STARTED BRAKING. I FELT I STOPPED IN ENOUGH TIME. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND SLID A GREAT DISTANCE BEFORE HITTING THE MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME. A SCRATCH ON THE BLACK BUMPER IS ALL THAT HAPPENED TO THE MINIVAN. IF I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, WHY DIDN'T THE SEAT BELTS LOCK, WHY DIDN'T THE AIRBAG COME OUT? I DON'T KNOW.
