Consumer Description

THIS YEAR OF CAMRY WAS DESIGNED WITHOUT A TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT. SINCE THIS CAR DOESN'T HAVE A WARNING LIGHT OR AUDIBLE ALARM, AND SINCE THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL AUTOMATICALLY TO COMPENSATE FOR LOST POWER, THIS CAR COULD OVERHEAT AND CATCH ON FIRE BEFORE THE DRIVER WOULD KNOW IT WAS OVERHEATING. THIS AND THE FACT THAT TOYOTA'S RADIATOR IS MADE OF PLASTIC (DEALERS WILL NOT REPLACE THEM WITH AN OEM PART), LENDS TO MY EXPERIENCE OF THE CAR OVERHEATING AND THE ENGINE SELF DESTRUCTING (A $4500 PART, NEW) - I SPENT $3480 FOR A USED ENGINE. I FEEL THAT A MISSING WARNING LIGHT IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND THE CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE.
