2007 Toyota Camry Solara

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP TURNS OFF AFTER APPROX. TWO MINUTES. I CAN TURN THE LIGHTS OFF THEN BACK ON AND THE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON. THEN APPROX. 2 MINUTES LATER IT WILL TURN OFF AGAIN. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB TWICE ALREADY. TOYOTA STATED THEY CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

WHEN I WAS EXISTING FROM A FREEWAY WITH SPEED OF ABOUT 20MPH, MY CAR, A SOLARA 2007 ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST WENT ALMOST HORIZONTALLY FROM RIGHT TO LEFT WITH A FAST SPEED.

I BROUGHT THE CARE TO DEALER, BUT THEY SAID IT'S NOT ON RECALL LIST AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CAMRY SOLARA, MY CARS GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT AND PROCEED INTO TRAFFIC THE CARS MOMENTARILY STAYS IN AN IDLED POSITION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, UNTIL IT KICKS FORWARD AND ACCELERATES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND FINANCIALLY I AM STILL PAYING FOR A CAR THAT IS PARKED, BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL IT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO PUT THE CAMRY SOLARA ON THE LIST. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND WITHOUT THE RECALL THEY REFUSE TO EVEN DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR MY CAR, AT MY EXPENSE NO LESS, I DO NOT FEEL THAT SOLARA OWNERS SHOULD BE IGNORED AND FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. I DO NOT WANT TO HURT MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE BY TAKING A CHANCE ON DRIVING A CAR THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL. PUT THE SOLARA'S ON THE RECALL LIST, AND MAKE MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AT EASE WITH A REPAIR AND GAS PEDAL REPLACEMENT IMMEDIATELY. *TR
