Plastic left front drivers side door handle broke & could not get out of car through door.
My tail lights went out and I had them replaced. Less than six moths later they went out again. One of my electric locks no longer works. The door didn't work at all. The dealer fixed it, and then the lock assembly went bad a month later. My license plate light no longer works, it s not the bulb. The shifter light went out at the same time the license plate light went out. My alarm system will not beep to confirm its operating. I was charged to have it reset and it went bad less than six months later. Numerous electrical problems.
When five people were in the vehicle, the tires scraped rear wheel wells and undercarriage scraped pavement.
Vehicle experienced problems with front end, upper strut mounts replaced twice, stabilizer and bushings replaced, and front end alignment, due to front end problems the tires were also replaced, consumer wants reimbursement.
Company agrees that headliner is loose will not repair or give estimate becase not covered by current tsb and not covered by warranty. Tsb is out currently for some camry's with this problem. Service manager states this is a service adjustment and not a defect. I feel that this is a design defect in the vehicle and causes a loss in value.
With more then two passengers bottom of auto scrapes the surface of road.
Drivers outside plastic door handle broke, resulting in not being able to open door from outside of car
Safety hazard question: due to car aerodynamics, doors, especailly front driver/passenger doors curve inward to a sharp point at top edge. Poses hazard to passengers shutting the doors, especially those of shorter stature because it is at face/head level. Have had passengers closing door catch that point-edge, one required several stitches to temple after "catching the edge." have there been any other complaints of this kind? Thank you for your assistance. Mary taylor
