2002 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

CONSUMER WAS IN AN FRONT END COLLISION ACCIDENT YET THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER WAS GOING THE SPEED OF 35 MPH . *AK *TT *SB

AT APPROXIMATELY 90,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKING WITH TOYOTA DEALER, THEY INDICATED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER MUST BE REPLACED. THEY FUTHER INDICTATED THAT THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER FOR THIS ITEM AND THEY ALREADY HAVE 10 VEHICLES ON THE WAITING LIST AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE, FROM THIS INFORMATION, THAT THIS MUST BE A PROBLEM THAT IS A RESULT OF A DESIGN DEFECT AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN BROKEN BY LOW IMPACT ROAD DEBRIS THROWN UP BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED STRONGER IMPACTS IN OTHER VEHICLES WITH NO OR CONSIDERABLY LESS DAMAGE.

STRONG GLARE IN WINDSHIELD DUE TO REFLECTION OF SUNLIGHT OFF TOP OF DASH ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING TO SEE THROUGH DURING BRIGHT SUNLIGHT AND MAKES DRIVING DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER MANAGED TO PULL OVER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REIMBURSE THE TOWING COST. THEY WON'T PAY FOR THE 7 MILES TOWING CHARGE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. *BF

THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AFTER HIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND DID NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. *MR ALL COMPUTER PULSES WERE TESTED AND NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. WHEN THE SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN THE DRIVE POSITION, THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STEERED TO AVOID THE PARKED VEHICLES AND CRASHED INTO A CHURCH. *SC *JB

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND TURNING THE WHEEL COUNTERCLOCKWISE, I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE BUT THE CAR FLEW OUT OF CONTROL , CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL AND A PARKED VEHICLE.

DT: 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES AND ACCELERATOR. WHEN BOTH OWNER AND THE SPOUSE DROVE THE VEHICLE, THEY FELT THE PLACEMENT OF THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS AND NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN BOTH ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE ARE PUSHED. THE CONSUMER FELT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW OR DEFECT. *JB *SB

ORIGINAL TIRES DO NOT FUNCTION ON ROAD IF ANY LIGHT RAIN OR SNOW IS PRESENT. HAZARDOUS.

2002 TOYOTA CAMRY PULLS TO THE LEFT. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE, BOTH TIMES THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE ALIGNMENT. AFTER CAR WAS REALIGNED IT STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK
