Exterior Lighting
03/01/2014
THE 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA HAD A FILM THAT HAD BUILT UP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LENSES WHICH WAS DIFFICULT TO CLEAN. THE LENSES HAD BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE FILM CONTINUED TO IMPACT THE VISIBILITY OF THE LOW BEAMS AND HIGH BEAMS. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM SHORTED TWICE AND WAS REPLACED. THE O2 SENSOR FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO REPLACE THE LENSES WITH A MORE TRANSLUCENT LENSE FOR THE HEAD LAMPS TO PREVENT A FAILURE OF POOR VISIBILITY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. DYD

I ONLY HAD MY 1999 CAMRY FOR 5 DAYS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING ABOUT 35 MPH. I WAS GOING AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE WHEN THE WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULDN'T TURN. I TRIED TO STOP BUT COULDN'T AND RAN DIRECTLY INTO THE CONCRETE MEDIAN CAUSING ME TO SPIN AROUND AND THEN HIT THE MEDIAN AGAIN. BOTH AIR BAGS CAME OUT AND MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOT WHERE IT WAS DECLARED "TOTALED." NO ONE OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED. I HAD MY CAR FOR ONLY 5 DAYS AND IT MALFUNCTIONED. *TR

Air Bags

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH FLASHES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES BY AN AUTHORIZED TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER AND THEY USED TO MESS WITH SOME WIRES UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT UNTIL THE LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING. THAT FIX LAST FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE FLASHING LIGHT RETURNS. THIS SITUATION HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED WHICH LEAVES ME TO WONDER IF I HAVE AIR BAG PROTECTION OR NOT. LUCKILY I HAVE HAD NO MAJOR ACCIDENTS ,FOR I SUSPICION THAT IF I DID THOSE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I NEED TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE !
