NOTHING HAPPENED YET, SINCE I CANNOT KNOW FOR SURE IF THESE ARE BAD AIR BAGS SINCE CAR WAS IN ACCIDENT AND REPAIRED WITH REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS IN PAST, SO NO WAY TO FIND OUT UNLESS TOYOTA PAYS TO CHECK THEM FIRST AND MAYBE REPLACED. WORRIED THAT REPLACEMENT AIR BAG ARE DEFECTIVE OR DANGEROUS NO ONE IS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE WHY??? MY REPLACEMENTS NEED TO BE CHECKED BY SERIAL NUMBER???
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS AND TRAC OFF INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JACK TAYLOR'S ALEXANDRIA TOYOTA (703-684-0700, LOCATED AT 3750 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22305) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 274,000.
THE VEHICLE UPON START HAD GOT HEAVY. IT WOULD ONLY INCH UPON HEAVY ACCELERATION. THEN SUDDENLY AT TURNING, RETAINED NORMALITY AND BURST FORWARD
I TURNED ON REAR DEFROST AND WITHIN FEW SECONDS BACK SEAT WAS ON FIRE. WINDOW BURNT SEAT AND SEAT BELT ALSO BURNED HAND. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL CAUSE. I FIGURED A FUSE WOULD BLOW PRIOR TO A FIRE INSIDE CAR. HAD I BEEN ON FWY I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN LUCKY GAS TANK IS INCHES BELOW FIRE .
FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS THE GAS CAP. OUR MECHANIC HAS TRIED MANY SOLUTIONS TO REPAIR THIS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS LATER, WE ARE NOW BEING TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THIS VEHICLE - THE EVAPORATION VAPOR CANISTER. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS PIECE WAS PART OF A LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA THAT TOYOTA LOST. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY OVER $400 FOR A PART SO THAT IT PASSES INSPECTION. ESPECIALLY WHEN TOYOTA KNEW THIS PART WAS A PROBLEM. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS PART.
THE HEAD LIGHT HAVE VERY LOW ILLUMINATION AND BARELY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE ACTUALLY ON AT NIGHT. THIS IS HAS BEEN A MAJOR SAFETY RISK TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT. TOYOTA NEED TO RECALL THESE HEADLIGHTS AND FIX THE DESIGN FLAW,
AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD BLINKS
ON MY 1999 TOYOTA SOLARA I HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAMS JUST TO SEE, AND MY CAR WENT 90 MPH BEFORE SLOWING UP,MY HANDICAPPED SON WAS SO SCARED! THEN IT JUST CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. HE HAD TO COAST TO SAFETY AND NOW IT NEEDS A NEW MOTOR !! RECALLS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS PERTAIN TO THE 1999 SOLARA AND ARE CRITICAL. THIS IS TWICE LIFE WAS ENDANGERED AND TOYOTA IS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP RESOLVE THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE . I GUESS THEY WAIT TILL SOMEONE DIES IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE TOYOTA DOES WHAT THEY SHOULD DO TO KEEP THE PUBLIC SAFE!!! MY CAR IS JUST SITTING THERE , HOW MUCH DOES TOYOTA CARE WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN REPLACE THE PETAL OR EXCELLERATION PROBLEM?? LET THERE FAMILY MEMBER BE ENDANGERED AND SEE ! BUT TOYOTA IS SLACKING EXTREMELY ON THE QUALITY OF THEIR VEHICLES!!! THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE DANGEROUS CARS THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE ROAD . AND WITH NO HELP FROM TOYOTA WHEN A SERIOUS ISSUES HAPPENS . THEY SHOULD BE DISCRASED BY THEIR POOR PERFORMANCE TO JEPORDIZE THE AMERICAN CITIZENS .. JUST TO PUT MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKET . NOW I HAVE NO CAR TO TAKE MY DISABLED SON TO HIS DR.!!! THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY EFFECT A PERSONS LIFE WHO HAS LIMITED FUNDS AND MANY MEDICAL NEEDS. THE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WE WERE PUT THROUGH DRIVING THE TOYOTA CAR SCARES ME BADLY! I USED TO HAVE FAITH IN THEIR PRODUCT . BUT IT'S VERY SAD WHEN THEY HAVE LOST THEIR CARING ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT AND MAKING THE AMERICAN FAMILY HAPPY AND MORE IMPORTANT SAFETY!!!! THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES SHOULD BE STOPPED!! JUST ONE VEHICLE COULD HIT A SCHOOL BUS FULL OF PRECIOUS CHILDREN , LEAVING PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS AND PRECIOUS BROTHERS AND SISTERS LEFT DEVASTATED FOR YEARS TO COME!!! THE PAIN GOES ON AND ON AND EFFECTS MANY GENERATIONS POSSIBLY THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE OVER THE GREED OF MONEY FROM THE TOYOTA BIG WIGS !!!
CAR PULLS TO LEFT AFTER NEW TIRES , 3 DIFFERENT ALIGNMENT CHECKS. WENT ON-LINE AND DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND FEW SOLUTIONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND LITTLE HELP FROM DEALERS. YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN CONSTANT PRESSURE ON WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED TO STAY IN LANE.
