The front headlights do not illuminate road properly. They have been adjusted by the dealer at least four times. The lights still do not illuminate the road properly and are a safety concern. Front suspension shakes aggresively (often at highway speeds) making driving very dangterous. Several attempts to correct by dealer. Problem still occurs. All four tires wore completely out in less than 12,000 miles. Front end pulled strongly to right. Dealer tried to corred several times. Front end now pulls to the left. Rear end "bangs" and "bottoms out" often while at speed. Dealer suggested that this safety concern is "typical" of this car. The transmission has failed to hold car while on an incline at least twice. Was not able to duplicate for dealer. Rear door has never closed properly. Dealer has attampted several reapirs. Door still "creeks and pops" when opened.
1999 Toyota Camry body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
As consumer was getting into vehicle something between driver's seat and floor caused a severe cut on her lower leg. *ak uncovered sharp metal on seat adjustment tract injured the driver.
Bottom of driver's door is very sharp which caused driver to receive five stitches.
Pushed the accelerator, no response from the engine. Engine would spontaneously rev- without accelerator being touched. After a 2 hour rest period the car was again driven the same problem occurred. The RPM would rev without the accelerator being pushed, after about 50 feet the engine check light came on. The gas pedal would sometimes engage the engine so we were able to travel a short distance. It was unpredictable as to when the accelerator would work. It would sometimes kick in while the RPM's were reving and the car would jerk forward. I felt it was unsafe to drive. As we were shutting the car off to load it on the tow truck when thecar was shut off, and the keys were still in the ignition, the automatic door locks repeatedly went off- in a rapid motion about 20 times until the keys were removed. The car has been towed to a local dealer.
Sunvisor was flipped down to be used. It failed to stay in place. When making right or left turns, would hit driver's head. Vehicle was out of alignment. Been to dealer & informed by mechanic it was characteristic of vehicle. The problem would disappear after 500 miles. The wheels were not balanced. At the dealer 4 times for wheels. Both rear wheels could not be balanced.
The toyota dealer service center where they installed the car alarm, they had to cut the firewall seals which caused the exhaust fumes and any other fumes to enter into the vehicle, which may make occupant to feel sick. Please provide further information.
