I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY SUNROOF MADE BY WEBASTO. THE SERIAL NUMBER OF MY SUNROOF IS BETWEEN THE RANGE OF 6000000 TO 6396298. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT REPLACED IF THAT IS THE CASE, PLEASE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE DRIVER WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN MAY 2009. THE CONTACT DROVE 3 MPH IN HER DRIVEWAY AND TURNED HER VEHICLE AROUND WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UP TO 40 MPH ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO A FENCE. THE DRIVER WAS THROWN FROM THE CAR INTO HER NEIGHBORS YARD. THE DRIVER WAS VERY SORE FROM THE CRASH BUT DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD DOCUMENT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

SECOND TIME IN THE 8 YEARS THAT WE HAVE OWNED OUR 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY THE CHROME PLATING ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE STARTING TO PEEL AGAIN CREATING A HAND CUTTING HAZARD. FIRST TIME THEY WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I TALKED TO A SERVICE REP AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID HE HAS SEEN MANY DO THIS. MY WIFE AND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CUT BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. TOYOTA REFUSES TO CORRECT PROBLEM AND I REFUSE TO PAY MONEY TO PAY FOR OTHER DEFECTIVE PARTS ONLY TO DO THE SAME THING IN THE FUTURE. *TR

2002 TOYOTA V6 SE; FRONT BRAKE DISCS CAUSED SEVERE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHEN SLOWING FROM 40 TO 35 MPH. DEALER ORIGINALLY REPLACED ALL FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM AT ABOUT 15000 MILES UNDER A TOYOTA BULLETIN. AT 60,000 MILES BEGAN TO HAVE SAME PROBLEM WHICH BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AT ABOUT 75,000 MILES. OUT OF WARRANTY, SO OWNER REPLACED FRONT ROTORS AND PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE CORRECTED.... NO TOYOTA RECALL..... *TR

SEVERE VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEN BRAKES APPLIED 20+ MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. BROUGHT TO DEALER, DEFORMED ROTORS, MACHINED FRONT DISC BRAKES & REPLACED PADS. WHEN BRAKING AFTER THIS, VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT. 24 MONTHS LATER HAD SAME SEVERE VIBRATION/BRAKES AGAIN. RESEARCHED COMPLAINTS NHTSA SITE..MANY HAVE SAME COMPLAINT TO DEALER AGAIN & THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $99 TO DIAGNOSE. I SAID NO & THE MGR STEVE SAID WE DON'T CHARGE THAT FEE FOR BRAKES. I ADVISED I KNEW OF TSB'S ISSUED FOR THIS CAR & SHOULDN'T HAVE SAME PROBLEM FROM 2 YRS AGO. HE SAID ONLY 1 YR WARRANTY ON PREV WORK, BUT HE WOULD TAKE A LOOK. HE SAID MY ROTORS WERE WARPED & COULD NOT BE MACHINED AGAIN, ONLY REPLACED, HOWEVER BRAKE PADS ARE REPLACED WHEN THEY ARE 2 ML & MINE WERE AT 7-8, & SAFE SO EITHER REPLACE ROTORS & PADS $469 LIVE W/ VIBRATION UNTIL...

#10079122 | July 1, 2004 Crash 1 Death

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING A 2002 CAMRY LE, WENT OFF THE ROAD AND STRUCK A TREE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT DOOR. SHE HAD MASSIVE HEAD INJURIES AND DID NOT SURVIVE THE CRASH. NONE OF THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS OPENED ON SUCH A SEVERE IMPACT. AS IT MIGHT SEEM INITIALLY THAT THESE WERE FRONTAL AIRBAGS, BUT I HAVE SEEN A 2000 COROLLA WHERE THE IMPACT WAS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR AND BOTH THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A 2002 CAMARY THAT IS SUPPOSED BE A NEWER, BETTER CAR THAN A 2000 COROLLA, FAILED TO HAVE ITS AIRBAGS DEPLOY WHEN THE IMPACT WAS ON THE PASSANGERS SIDE; WHERE ON A COROLLA ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT WAS ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR; THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. *JB
