MY 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY SUFFERED FROM POWER DOOR LOCK DEFECT. MY DOOR LOCKS FLEW BACK AND FORTH SOUNDING LIKE MACHINE GUN FIRE. I HAD JUST STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR WITH THE WINDOW OPENED AND THE DOOR OPEN WHEN ALL HECK BROKE LOOSE. NEITHER THE WINDOWS OR DOORS WOULD WORK. THE REASON I GOT OUT OF MY CAR WAS THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS ON AND ALL THE DOORS WERE SHUT. I GOT OUT TO DOUBLE CHECK THE DOORS WHEN THE CAR WENT BERSERK. I WAS SO TRAUMATIZED BY THIS EVENT I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND TRADED IT ON THE SPOT. *JB

ORIGINAL IGNITION KEY WILL NOT START CAR. HAS BEEN DIFFICULT FOR ABOUT A MONTH. LUCKILY IT TOTALLY FAILED IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY. WE JUST RETURNED FROM A LONG TRIP. SAME THING HAPPENED TO TRUNK LOCK 2 YEARS AGO. I HAD TO PAY ABOUT $250.00 TO HAVE IT FIXED AT MY DEALER. EXPECT LARGER BILL FOR IGNITION. DEALER WILL NOT ORDER NEW IGNITION LOCK UNTIL I HAVE IT TOWED IN.BOUGHT CAR AT SAME DEALER. LOCKS SEEM TO BE A WEAK POINT ON THIS MODEL TOYOTA. CAN I GET HELP FROM SOMEBODY? *TR

2000 TOYOTA CAMRY DRIVEN AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED THREW A ROD THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED WHICH I CAN PROVE WITH RECEIPTS FROM MY CERTIFIED MECHANIC. NO ONE I SPOKE TO AT TOYOTA WOULD HELP ME. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE. THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED BUT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AT ALL ESP. WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE ALL AT MY COST. THIS SAME VEHICLE BROKE A TIMING CHAIN A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEN. I SPECIFICALLY PURCHASED A TOYOTA BECAUSE OF THEIR SUPPOSED RELIABILITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. THIS WILL BE MY LAST TOYOTA. *JB

THE CAR HAS 77000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER THE CAR FOR MAINTENANCE ONCE IN 4000 - 5000 MILES. WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 55 ON THE FREEWAY I HEARD A BIG SOUND AND SAW THE SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM THE FRONT PANEL. I PULLED OVER THE CAR AND OPENED THE FRONT PANEL. I SAW FIRE FROM TWO DIFFERENT PLACES. I CHECKED IT WITH MY MECHANIC , AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE CONNECTIVITY ROD #2 CAME OUT VERY NEXT TO THE OIL FILTER WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BLEW UP. I CALLED TOYOTA AND FILED THE COMPLAINT. BUT TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THEY WON'T REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT FROM THE DEALER SHOP, AND THE DEALER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING THE DEFECTIVE CAR. I GOT A DEFECTIVE ENGINE AND FORCED REPLACE IT ON MY OWN. *AK
