Am experiencing sludge build up in the engine of my 2000 toyota camry solara. This vehicle was a previously owned when I purchased it on march 17, 2016. At time of purchase I requested a carfax report. My choice to purchase was made upon report details I.e. Repair & maintenance records, including routine oil changes. The carfax report specified all preventative maintenance had been applied to this vehicle and was up to date. There were no known manufacture recalls and/or issues on this vehicle. At the time of purchase I was unaware of any troublesome issues on this make & model, nor with its engine model. After my own extensive research before shopping for my 2nd preowned toyota I never did come across any such information regarding problems/recalls & would have never made this purchase. I have always been a toyota fan & am very displeased with the engine sludge problems I later discovered and also the fact that the dealership which sold me this preowned toyota covered up & provided me with a false carfax report. I have my proof of routine oil changes + the carfax report showing all previous owners(2) also made routine oil changes. I feel I am a victim of a manufactures default in this engine model. I have owned my preowned toyota for only 5 months and for the last 2 months I have had it sitting in my driveway due to ongoing engine troubles I am unable to tend to financially & do not wish to do any further damage to it. I am greatly disappointed. [xxx] 'information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

This item is not a total failure yet but is headed in that direction. The power steering hose is leaking fluid where it joins the rack and pinion steering assembly. When the fluid all leaks out I will have no power assist in my steering and it could come at any moment. My local toyota dealer ( del toyota in thorndale, pa) reported this problem to me while this car was being serviced for an oil change. I have not had it repaired yet. A neighbor of mine told me that he experienced the same problem with his toyota avalon which was a couple of years older than my car. I am reporting this problem because maybe toyotas in my age region are also experiencing this same problem and toyota is not admitting to a component weakness in the power steering area and might eventually agree to fix it. I have noticed recalls of cars up to around 10-15 years old where the problems manifest themselves over extended time periods.

I had a very troubling issue with my 2000 toyota solara last week. The wiring to the inside fan blower motor overheated, was smoking badly and nearly started a fire in the cabin of the car. Luckily I stopped the car before things got out of hand. I had the wiring and the very badly corroded resistor replaced (p/n 20238) at a cost to me of $254.07. Does the federal safety agency have this issue on record as a safety recall?
