I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE FOR 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY'S AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE.

ON 8/13/09 @ 9:00 AM, MY WIFE TOOK THE 2010 CAMRY IN TO ADJUST AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MECHANIC TOLD HER THAT HE ONLY HAD SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT AND THERE WAS NO MORE ADJUSTMENT. TOYOTA RESPONDED TO MY COMPLAINT AFTER THEY RECEIVED A COPY OF MY LETTER TO THE SENATOR. ON TUESDAY MARCH 2, 2010, I MET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT BEECHMONT TOYOTA, AND A FIELD TECHNICAL SPECIALIST WITH TOYOTA MOTOR SALES INC. NOTE: I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT KINGS THE DAY WAS BRIGHT AND CLEAR AND IT WAS DAYLIGHT WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER DRIVING MANY MILES, THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT 'NO MATTER HOW LONG HE DROVE IT, IT WASN'T GOING TO GET ANY BETTER.' PROBLEM UNSOLVED.

I HEARD NO MORE FROM THE EXECUTIVE ANALYST AT TOYOTA. NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 05/11/10. *JB
