STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THE BRAKES ON MY 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY WORE OUT AT 15000 MILES. THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE SERVICE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE 1997 AND 1998 CAMRY HAVE A DESIGN DEFECT THAT CAUSES MORE PRESSURE TO BE APPLIED TO THE FRONT BRAKES THAN TO THE BACK BRAKES, CAUSING THE FRONT BRAKES TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. MY POWER STEERING PUMP DEVELOPED A LEAK BEFORE IT WAS REPLACED BY THE SERVICING DEALER AT 19000 MILES, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE STEERING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. *AK

SUSPENSION
THE CAR MAKES A GROANING NOISE OVER ROUGH ROAD SURFACES. THE CONDITION IS RAPIDLY GETTING WORSE. TOYOTA DEALER INFORMED ME THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE THAT A SMALL NUMBER OF CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND ATTEMPTS TO DEVISE A REMEDY, BUT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. TOYOTA HAS TOLD ME, VIA THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP, THAT "IT IS SUSPENSION NOISE, WHICH IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR". TOYOTA REGIONAL CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER AND TOYOTA EMPLOYED TECHNICAN HAVE BOTH BEEN IN THE CAR. TOYOTA FIXED THE LOOSE ROOF, HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN NO OFFER OF A SOLUTION ON THE DETERIORATING CONDITION OF THE SUSPENSION. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT OFFER A SOLUITON. *AK
