Odometer Fraud. The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Camry, which was purchased via Facebook Marketplace. Shortly after purchase, the Check Engine warning light illuminated, leading the contact to replace the catalytic converter. Upon using a diagnostic code reader, the contact discovered that the estimated value of the vehicle was significantly less than the actual cost that was paid for the vehicle. The contact purchased the Carfax report which revealed that the actual mileage on the vehicle was 297,000; not the 107,000 shown on the instrument panel. The contact subsequently discovered that a fake Carfax report was provided at the time of the purchase, which showed that the vehicle was also involved in several crashes and had several prior owners. The contact reported the incident to the DeKalb County Police Department. The purchase was a private sale, and the contact was unable to reach the seller after several attempts.

The batter has been bad since the beginning. Even the original battery would right away leak and leave a lot of residue. My car since the beginning has told me there is something wrong with the power system. But Toyota keeps insisting that it’s just a random message. And that they don’t know why it says it. It’s concerning because I constantly need to get a new battery. The other thing is that. When I unlock my car. Either the passenger side or the drivers side doesn’t lock or unlock. It’s mostly scary for me because there are times that I’m not in the safest area and I struggle to open it manually. I also have a few other friends that have the same car as I do and same year and they are also having the same problem. And the third thing is the ac system just decided to only work when it wants to. It seems like it’s a faulty system.
