Consumer Description

PURCHASED A 2005 CAMRY SE IN FEB. 2005. HAD 500 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT NEEDED A COMPLETE OVERHAUL DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM THE COMPANY. I NOW HAVE A NEW CAR THAT HAS DIMINISHED VALUE DUE TO THE OVERHAUL. I WAS ALSO WITHOUT THE CAR FOR 20 PLUS DAYS. I FEEL THEY KNEW THE MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE WHEN THEY SOLD IT TO ME BUT I GUESS THEY SOME 70 YEAR OLD WOULD NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. I BELIEVE I SHOULD AT THE LEAST HAVE BEEN GIVEN A NEW ENGINE OR ANOTHER NEW CAR WITHOUT THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE. I GUESS THAT WOULD BE TOO MUCH TO EXPECT FROM THE "RELIABLE AUTOMAKER." *NM
