Both the driver side window and front passenger window have stopped working on occasion. Presently the passenger side window may go down, but will not go up. The next day it may go up. I don't put it down because I don't want to leave it down in rain or overnight. My previous camry also had electrical window problems.

8/2003 bought car. At 75.000 miles, freeze plugs started to go. One after the other. Leaving me stranded many times. After we replaced the freeze plugs, 76.000 miles the car started dumping its coolant through the overflow tank.. Could not get answers from phillips toyota. Started loosing oil. The obd light has never come on. The car runs quite and smooth. Made several attempts to take care of this problem with the corporation, but they will not help. Also, the brakes have always made loud noises, and the cruise control has a mind of its own. Car has now, 130000 miles on it, and all I can do, is add water every 25 miles or so. None of the shops we have taken it to can tell us what the problem is. Can you help me please.
