I would like to include an image of a receipt I have from my father for $700 in costs for breaks and tires before he nine in march 2015 to chicago for its first winter in 2015. Since that time upon its first freeze where the engine frozen due to the climate change the engin does not respond upon acceleration from a stop most oftentimes in traffic had began to incur it cost quite a bit of money to have a car in chicago so it is an intervening very often meaning I have to start it with amy pack and charger. .also there is a discrepancy I have uncovered regarding the recall that the first owner brought in for a replacement engine approximately between 200 and 250,000 miles. I am not recovered any information regarding such a recall north any service tickets and reports that reflect an engine replacement. However I didn't replace the radiator a few months ago due to the fact that I have not been capped or serviced within 3000 miles. I am not own a vehicle since 2000.

My vehicle is a camry station wagon. On the above date, I was backing my car in my driveway & the brake pedal went to the floor.. Using my floor jack, I climbed under it & discovered that the steel brake lines had ruptured due to rust in 2 locations- one beneath a bracket near the firewall, and another at the rear of the wagon near where the vehicle height "solenoid" is located. Subsequently, I discovered at least 3 more camrys of 1995 or 1995 vintage(including one wagon) for sale on washington d.c. Craigslist with rusted out brake lines. My sense is that thee cars are so old buy yet so reliable that peoplle are still driving them & someone is going to get killed in one, unless someone initiates an investigation. I still ave the vehicle in my yard in fairfax station va & if an investigator wants to inspect it, I can jack it up for them.. I can be reached at [xxx].

Car has been swerving violently around curved roads. The alignment was thrown out of specification by broken coil springs. All other components such as ball joints tie rods wheel bearings... Were found to be within spec. Coil springs were both found broken, and unevenly. One coil was missing more coils than the other. If the coils had broken in a different place or there had been traffic a fatal collision could have occurred.

I was driving to work one day and my 1995 toyota camry started accelerating on its own on the freeway, at first I thought I was imagining it. I hit the brakes and it would not slow down. The car kept accelerating faster and faster on it's own till it went up to 90 MPH. I pulled on my emergency brakes, that slowed the car down a bit but not by very much. It mostly just made a cement grinding sound. It was really scary I felt like I was in a death machine. Luckily there weren't very many people on the freeway that day, so I just swerved out of the way of the other cars. I finally got it to slow down enough with the emergency break and I immediately turned my car off and had it towed to a mechanic who repaired the issue. I was really lucky, I think if there were more people on the freeway that day, there would have been a very different outcome.

I braked and swerved to avoid hitting a metal tank that just fell off a trailer in front of me, hit the tank on the right front, then discontinued braking. Then the right front, left front, and right rear tires collapsed off the rims. I lost control of the car, swerved into the median/ditch, car turned 180 degrees and rolled back (almost rolled over). Car sustained significant body and undercarriage damage. Due to seat belt usage, my passenger and I sustained minor injuries only. I was travelling 50 MPH on a 4-lane divided highway. Weather was 90 degrees, sunny, and dry. If the tires had not failed, I would have had minor body damage only. Complete dot number is bfrwtu410202.
