THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS INTERMITTENT, AND THE EMISSION VALVE(S) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MR SCC *JB

1998 TOYOTA CAMRY EMISSION RELATED REPAIRS. *MR ENGINE LIGHT WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHO STATED THE EMISSIONS VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA IN REFERENCE TO REIMBURSEMENT OF EMISSION RELATED PROBLEMS AND WAS DENIED. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THE PART WAS LOCATED NEAR THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. *SCC *JB

DEALER CLAIMS THAT I DAMAGED THE CHARCOAL CANISTER BY 'TOPPING OFF" THE GAS TANK. HIS DEFINITION OF "TOPPING OFF" IS TO FILL UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, THEN ADD A LITTLE MORE TO GET A ROUND NUMBER TOTAL COST. SINCE MOST PEOPLE "TOP OFF" THE TANK USING THIS DEFINITION, IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS MUST BE A DESIGN DEFECT. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IF IT IS NOT FIXED THE CAR WILL FAIL REQUIRED EMISSIONS TESTS, BUT THAT IF IT IS FIXED AND I "TOP OFF" THE TANK IT WILL FAIL AGAIN. THERE IS NO WARNING AGAINST "TOPPING OFF" THE TANK IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THEREFORE NORMAL REFUELING RESULTS IS PERMANANT DAMAGE TO THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THAT THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM CAN NOT BE MAINTAINED IN WORKING CONDITION. DT

CONSUMERS 23 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT ALONG WITH HER FRIEND. WHERE THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE AN EXIT, WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO SLOW DOWN. VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, CAUSING THEM A LIFE THREATENING EXPERIENCE. THE TWO RAN OF OF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO BLOCK FROM HITTING 0THER VEHICLES, AND IN ORDER TO NOT HIT A TREE WHEN THEY RAN OF THE ROAD, THEY HAD GOTTEN BACK ONTO THE ROAD AFTER THE PASSENGER HAD INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE ROAD WAS CLEAR ENOUGH TO GET BACK ON. THEY DID SO, LUCKILY NOT HITTING ANYONE, THEY ENDED UP IN A VACANT PARKING LOT WHERE THE DRIVER HAD TAKING THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. DURING THE ACCIDENT THE DRIVER TRIED TO BRAKE AND EVEN PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE REJECTED THAT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER, WHERE THREE WEEKS PRIOR, THE CONSUMER HAD AN OIL CHANGE, LUBRICATIONS, AND THE TIRES ROTATED. THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE, AND REPORTED THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING. THE SERVICE CENTER SUGGESTED THAT THEY COULD CLEAN THE THROTTLE LINKAGE AND LUBRICATE A SPECIFIC CABLE (NAME NOT AVAILABLE). VEHICLE WAS THEN INSPECTED AT A TOYOTA DEALER WHO DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM EITHER AND EVEN ALLOWED ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES TO TAKE THE VEHICLE HOME FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND HE FOUND NO PROBLEM AS WELL. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE DEALER HAD BEEN ABLE TO CLEAR THE AIRBAG SIGN THAT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD.*SCC

SUDDEN ACCELLERATION OF CAR. BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP VEHICLE. HAD TO PUT CAR IN "PARK" TO STOP VEHICLE. ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AS IF GAS PEDAL PUSHED TO FLOOR. DEALER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.*AK

APPARENTLY SOME PART OR PARTS HAVE FAILED WITHIN THE DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY, RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO OPEN DOORS. OFTEN THIS FAILURE RESULTS IN NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN A DOOR FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SIMULTANEOUS FAILURES COULD RESULT IN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR.*AK

ENGINE STARTS AND STALLS. RPM'S WON'T STAY UP. HAVE TO USE GAS AND BRAKE TOGETHER UNTIL IDLE STAYS UP ENOUGH TO KEEP CAR RUNNING. IDLE SPEED CONTROL VALVE REPLACED @ 38,315 MI ON 6/20/02. REPLACED AGAIN @ 45,703 MI ON 8/22/03. SERVICE MGR SAID THEY HAVE "CHANGED MANUFACTURERS, SO SHOULD BE OK NOW". PROBLEM RECURRED @ 56,000 MILES IN MID-JUNE. IT'S A PROGRESSIVE FAILURE, SO WILL RETURN TO DEALER IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. THIS AMOUNTS TO 3 REPLACED IDLE SPEED CONTROL VALVES IN 20,000 MILES. SERVICE WILL REPLACE PART, BUT I MUST PAY LABOR. *JB

ACCELERATOR CABLE BROKE WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE CAR AT ALL. RECALL 01V0120000 DID NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE DUE TO VIN. *AK

THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS EXCESSIVELY SHAKY. IT VIBRATED AND MADE A LOT OF NOISE WHEN GOING OVER A ROUGH ROAD. FROM MY RESEARCH ON THIS SUBJECT AT THE NHTSA WEB SITE, THERE ARE 52 REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY MODEL. I HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED AT A DEALERSHIP IN LOUISIANA. THEY REPLACED THE STRUT MOUNTS ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION AT A COST OF $420.82. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL BY TOYOTA. IT IS MY WISH THAT TOYOTA BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE '98 CAMRY.*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND EVEYTHINGS LOCKED UP. DEALERSHIP REPLACED IGNITION LOCK; BUT, PROBLEM REOCCURRED.*AK

IN A FRONTAL COLLISION NONE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED ON IMPACT, CAUSING CHEST INJURIES TO DRIVER.*AK

FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE WEARING EXCESSIVELY. ALSO, NOTES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THERE IS A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER RESPECTFULLY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

RECURRNET NOISE FROM FRONT END SINCE DAY ONE, ESPECIALLY GOING OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT. DEALERS SERVICED ONCE FOR FREE, BUT NOISE CONTINUED. NOW THAT WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, I AM ADVISED THAT THE STRUT MOUNTS HAVE FAILED AND NED TO BE REPLCED. REPLACED BOTH FRONT STRUT MOUNTS AT COST OF $416.58. SERVICE ADVISER ADMITS TOYOTA HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE THIS A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPAIR FOR ALL OWNERS OF CAMRYS.

I HAVE A QUESTION AS TO IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE ACTUAL RIM OF THE TIRE, THE WHEEL ITSELF. MY BRAND NEW TIRE WOULD LOSE AIR AND NO LEAK COULD BE FOUND, SO I REPLACED THE TIRE WITH ANOTHER NEW ONE. THE PROBLEM KEPT OCCURING - FINALLY THE CULPRIT WAS FOUND TO BE A SMALL PINHOLE LEAK IN THE ACTUAL WHEEL, LOCATED ON THE FAR INSIDE. I WAS TOLD BY 3 SEPARATE MECHANICS THAT THIS HOLE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ANY TYPE OF MACHINERY AND IT MIGHT BE A DEFECT IN THE RIM ITSELF. MY QUESTION IS IF THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND IF ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. I DONT HAVE MY VIN # AS MY CAR IS NOT WITH ME RIGHT NOW. I CAN SUPPLY LATER IF NEEDED. SHOULD I CONTACT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

ALL THREE OF THE REAR SEATBELTS WILL NOT RETRACT.

A FEW DAYS AGO THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT DID THE SAME THING, LEAVING MY CHILD WITH NO SEAT BELT IN THE BACK AND MY ONLY OPTION IS TO PUT HIM IN THE FRONT SEAT WHICH IS NOT SAFE EITHER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFATURER OF TOYOTA AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST ABOUT $190.00 PER SEAT BELT TO GET THEM REPLACED. I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY AND FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE SEAT BELT PROBLEMS IN A CAR THAT IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. I HAVE A HIGH AMOUNT OF MILES ON MY VEHICLE BUT MOST OF THOSE MILES DID NOT EVEN HAVE ANYONE USING THE REAR SEAT OR SEATBELTS SO THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE MALFUNCTIONED.
