#726157July 28, 2000
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. AFTER DOING SO I NOTICED A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE IN THE NEW HEADLAMP AND THE ORIGINAL. THE ORIGINAL BEAM WAS SO DIFFUSED AND YELLOW COLORED THAT MY NIGHT TIME VISION WAS REDUCED GREATLY. I REPLACED THE PASSENGER HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY ALSO, TO IMPROVE MY NIGHT TIME DRIVING. AFTER THIS OCCURENCE I HAVE NOTICED OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS OVER TIME AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING NIGHT TIME VISIBILITY.

SUSPENSION:REAR, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR WE NOTICED A THUMPING COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WE RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. UPON EXAMINATION, THEY SAID WE NEEDED NEW REAR STRUTS. THEY ONLY REPLACED THE STRUT CAPS. SHORTLY AFTER, WE FILLED THE GAS TANK, AS IT WAS WHEN WE RECEIVED THE CAR, AND REALIZED THE THUMPING SOUND WAS STILL PRESENT. WE RETURNED TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID WE NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK, A TECHNICIAN THEY CALLED IN CALIFORNIA TOLD THEM THIS. AFTER CHANGING THE FUEL TANK, THE THUMPING SOUND IS STILL PRESENT. NEXT THEY BROUGHT IN A SPECIAL TECHNICIAN, WHO EXAMINED OUR CAR AND SAID IT WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL. NOW WE BEGAN THE PROCESS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS LEMON LAW. TOYOTA NOW WANTED TO EXAMINE THE CAR ONE FINAL TIME WITH A REGIONAL REP AND ANOTHER TECHNICIAN. THEY BOTH HEARD THE THUMPING AND DECIDED THE REAR SWAY BAR NEEDED ADJUSTMENT, AND THIS WOULD SOLVE OUR PROBLEM. NO SUCH LUCK, THE THUMPING NOISE IS STILL OCCURING. WE ALSO HAVE FOUND THE TRUNK IS NOT FLUSH WITH THE REAR FENDERS. THE TECHNICIANS SAY IT WAS JUST INSTALLED WRONG AND CAN BE CORRECTED. IT SEEMS ALL OUR PROBLEMS ARE IN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE, AND STILL AFTER ALMOST 3 MONTHS NOTHING IS RESOLVED.
