I AM A LITTLE DISPLEASED WITH MY 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY. I BOUGHT IT AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 19,300 MILES. ALREADY, I HAVE SHELLED OUT 450.00 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS, DISC PADS, AND ASSEMBLY. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAD FAILED BEFORE, AND I HAD THEM REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. THE DASH LIGHTS JUST FAILED RECENTLY, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE REAR LIGHTS BURNED OUT IN NOV. I LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CUST. SERVICE CENTER, BUT I STILL FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS A LEMON. WHAT NEW 1999 CAR WITH 30,000 MILES HAS HAD THIS MANY FAILURES? PLEASE SEND ME ANY OTHER INFO THAT MIGHT PERTAIN TO THIS, OR ANY INFO YOU HEAR BACK. ITR WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I DON'T WANT TO BE TAKING MY CAR IN FOR MAJOR SERVICE EVERY YEAR!!!

VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARDS ON ANY SORT OF INCLINE. THE TRANSMISSIONS WILL NOT HOLD THE CAR ON A HILL EVEN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE. DEALER STATED THIS WAS A "NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ZERO DRAG FOR BEST GAS MILEAGE AND IS NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD CAR WITHOUT THROTTLE PRESSURE." THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *AK

#841755 | July 7, 1999

THERE IS DISTORTION IN THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAYTIME. THIS CAUSES A TERRIBLE STRAIN ON DRIVER'S EYES, AND RESULTS IN HEADACHES. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, BUT IS NOT SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *AK

#708068 | June 30, 1999

WINDSHIELD WAS SCRATCHED WHEN BOUGHT. DEALER TRY TO POLISH OUT BUT COULDN'T SO REPLACED WINDSHIELD WITH OEM GLASS. REPLACED GLASS HAS EXTREME DISTORTION AND WAVINESS WHEN LOOK OUT TOWARDS REARVIEW MIRROR AND PASSENGER SIDE. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY ORDERED NEW WINDSHIELD. HAD SAME DISTORTION. DEALER ORDERED MORE WINDSHIELDS AND HAD SAME DISTORTIONS. CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. NOW CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AREA REP TELLING ME ALL TOYOTA CAMRYS HAVE THIS DISTORTION IN GLASS AND IS CONSIDERED A "COMMON ITEM" INSTEAD OF A DEFECT. HAVE CHECKED AFTERMARKET GLASS AND MOST SEEMS TO HAVE SOME DISTORTIONS TO A VARYING DEGREE. THIS DISTORTION IS NOT JUST AT THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND IS DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING AND COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT SAFETY. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM IN NEW VEHICLES? MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES DID NOT HAVE THIS DISTORTION. GLASS TECHNICIAN CALLS IT "CROSS GRAIN DISTORTION". *AK
