2000 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

WHEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE AND DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE CONSUMER HAS TO SHIFT TO PARK, THEN DRIVE A FEW TIMES, AND VEHICLE WOULD START TRAVELING. *AK

UPON TEST DRIVE, TRANSMISSION IS CONSIDERED FAULTY. A SECOND "NEW" TRANSMISSION IS ORDERED TO REPLACE THE REPLACEMENT. *CJ

BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE VENTILATION GOT DEBRIS CAUGHT. THIS CAN SHUT THE MOTOR OFF. IT STARTED MAKING LOUD VIBRATION NOISE FROM A 1/2 INCH LEAF. MANUFACTURER SAID THEY WOULD ONLY TAKE CARE OF IT IF IT WAS A FAULTY PART.*AK

THE A/C HAS STOPPED WORKING ON THIS VEHICHLE 4 TIMES.THE 10AMP BLOWER MOTOR FUSE ALWAYS SHORTED OUT AND STOPPED THE SYSTEM FROM WORKING.IF YOU ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE FUSE WHILE THE SYSTEM IS STILL HOT IT WILL BLOW THE FUSE.THIS HAS BEEN LOOKED AT AND ALWAYS NOTHING IS FOUND.THEY DID REPLACE THE BLOWER MOTOR THINKING THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM.THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS ONE .THIS IS USED NOT ONLY FOR COMFORT BUT TO DE-FOG THE WINDOWS TO INCREASE VISIBILITY ON THE ROADWAYS.TOYOTA PLEASE DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO FIX THIS.

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FIRST CAR WASH, THE AIR VENTS CONTINUOUSLY EMITT A ODOR COMPARABLE TO DIRTY, OLD RAGS AS A RESULT OF MOULD, MILDEW AND BACTERIAL ACCUMULATION, INITIATED BY MOISTURE THOUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. *CJ

CONSUMER WAS SITTING STILL, ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND ANOTHER VEHICLE CAME HEAD-ON TRAVELING 35MPH. AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. DEALER WANTED TO CEHCK VEHICLE BEFORE CLAIM WAS SUBMITTED. DEALER WASN'T OFFERING A LOANER VEHICLE.*AK

WHILE TURNING ON HEADLIGHTS THEY WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

THE 2000 CAMRY LE WITH 15" BRIDGESTONE POTENZA TIRES I PURCHASED NEW IN AUG. OF 2000 VIBRATES AT SPEEDS OF 65MPH AND ABOVE. THE DEALER SERVICED THE CAR (ONLY 900 MILES ON IT), AND SAID THE VIBRATION MUST BE A TIRE PROBLEM AND SENT ME TO A TIRE DEALER. THE TIRE DEALER SAID THE TIRES WERE GOOD BUT ONE WHEEL WAS OUT OF BALANCE. THE ROAD TEST INDICATED A SMALL IMPROVEMENT AND THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT. SAID IT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM, IT'S A TIRE PROBLEM; BUT BALANCED THE WHEELS ON A JAGUAR SERVICE DEPARTMENT'S WHEEL BALANCING MACHINE. THE VIBRATION SEEMS TO HAVE IMPROVED SLIGHTLY, AND TOYOTA SERVICE HAS SCHEDULED A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2000. IT WILL BE HELPFUL IF YOU CAN INFORM ME OF ALL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (I FOUND 3 AT YOUR WEBSITE) ON THIS VEHICLE.

HIT HARD OBJECT IN ROAD. RIGHT REAR TIRE ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS DEFLATED. AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, DISCOVERED DENTED RIM THAT ALSO SEPARATED INTO TWO PARTS LENGTHWISE (IN A COMPLETE CIRCUMFERENCE AROUND 15" RIM). *AK

GEAR IS EASLY MOVED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BUTTON ON GEAR SHIFT. DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER WERE CALLED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. *AK
