I only had my 1999 camry for 5 days. I was driving on the expressway doing about 35 MPH. I was going around a slight curve when the wheel locked and I couldn't turn. I tried to stop but couldn't and ran directly into the concrete median causing me to spin around and then hit the median again. Both air bags came out and my car was towed to a lot where it was declared "totaled." no one or any other property was damaged. I had my car for only 5 days and it malfunctioned.

I was driving on expressway doing about 35 MPH when the steering wheel locked as I driving around a curve. I drove into the left cement barrier, car spun around and hit the barrier again. I just purchased the car and didn't even have it for 5 days! The car was towed and salvaged.
I was traveling at a speed of 45 MPH, when another car ran a stop sign. I t-boned the other car and my air bag did not go off. My breast bone was broken due to my body's impact with the steering wheel. I am only reporting this incident now because of an article I read about air bags not deploying during accidents.
My daughter was traveling north at 40 MPH, and she turned around briefly to check if her little brother was buckled in his seat belt. When she turn back around the car was on the curve and she slammed on the brakes as hard as she could to stop the car, but the car wouldn't stop and preceded to accelerate. She went through partially two brick walls, knocked down a stop and street sign, and the car flipped a couple of times. The car ended up landing on the passenger side, leaving the car left side up. My daughter suffered injuries to the neck, back, and her knees were cut from the glass of the window in a result of the car crashing. Luckily, my son suffered no injuries. I am very concerned, why did the brakes fail in my daughter's attempt to stop the vehicle.
Toyota 1999 camry ce/le/xle sedan 4d drove over a 4" street deep 25mph all 4 motor mount broken about 4 years ago. Had a warranty but toyota refused to fix it by saying that it was an accident. And insurance company geico refused to fix & said that it was not an accident. At last we had to buy another used engine to run the car.
Regulator/motor on both rear power windows are broken, (windows will roll-up) plus, both handles on front windows are broken. To open door, one must roll window down and open door from the outside.
Water leaked into the vehicle although the doors and windows were closed.
My camry has 30,000 miles on it and it is falling apart! The screws have fallen out of the doors three time and the toyota dealerships only solution is to put silicone in the screw holes which now causes the the doors to squeak. The car is dragging the ground as a result of poor struts. I continue to get the run around with the manufacture.
The driver side door handle broke off in consumer's hand.
Consumer was locked inside of vehicle and without prior warning electrical door lock will not open. Dealership is aware of problem. Consumer was informed that the only problem the dealer could find, was that the battery needed to be replaced.
