1999 Toyota Camry visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brakes squeak/ pull to left and warp. Also, cd player doesn't work, had 4 cds replaced/ springs in side of sun roof are broken and make noises, and regulator replaced inside of windows. Dealership is aware of problems. *ak consumer states that brake rotors have been turned at 9000 and 27000 miles, each time rotors are turned the brake pads have been replaced, however problem still occurs. Windshiled has a film like covering which makes it very difficult to see out of. Goodyear tire p205/65r15, dot m6urredr228 wore out prematurely.
I am a little displeased with my 1999 toyota camry. I bought it as a certified used car with 19,300 miles. Already, I have shelled out 450.00 for the replacement of the rotors, disc pads, and assembly. The drivers side window had failed before, and I had them replace the whole assembly. The dash lights just failed recently, as well as one of the rear lights burned out in nov. I logged a complaint with toyota cust. Service center, but I still feel that this car is a lemon. What new 1999 car with 30,000 miles has had this many failures? Please send me any other info that might pertain to this, or any info you hear back. Itr would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to be taking my car in for major service every year!!!
The power windows in the front on the driver and passenger sides go off track and will not come down. My dealer said this happens all the time on the 1999 camrys but there has been no recall. This is dangerous in the north east in bad weather. It also makes us vulnerable to a car jacking or theft. My dealer said he fixed but windows but it has happened again. Why doesn't the government order a recall. What happens after my warrenty is over? There is a real design defect with these cars, so why isn't someone doing something about this? What about the hours on end that I must waste waiting for repairs and the lost hours of work. Who is suppose to reimburse me for lost pay?
Brake fluid low and adjustments not correct causing the brake light to illuminate and excessive wear of the brakes repairs completed 11-99. Nlm
Vehickle was equipped with with power control mirrors as stated on widow sticker. However, power controlled mirrors failed. Toyota has not resolved to this date.
Vehicle rolls backwards on any sort of incline. The transmissions will not hold the car on a hill even when the transmission is in drive. Dealer stated this was a "normal operating condition. The transmission has zero drag for best gas mileage and is not designed to hold car without throttle pressure." the dealer has not been able to correct this problem.
Windshield has tiny air pockets that cut visibility when sun or bright light comes through. Windshield has appearance of very old glass. Accident feared.
Driver's side window makes rattling/bumping sounds when opened or closed. Dealer contacted. Claims to have received numerous calls with same complaint for '99 camry.
On two occasions the glass window on the driver's side fell off track causing window to malfunction.
Consumer was driving when a stone barely touched the windshield and cracked the windshield.
Roof leaked. Mjs
Windows came off the track several times. Mjs
There is distortion in the windshield. When driving during the daytime. This causes a terrible strain on driver's eyes, and results in headaches. The dealer has been notified, but is not sure what can be done to solve this problem.
Windshield was scratched when bought. Dealer try to polish out but couldn't so replaced windshield with oem glass. Replaced glass has extreme distortion and waviness when look out towards rearview mirror and passenger side. Took back to dealer and they ordered new windshield. Had same distortion. Dealer ordered more windshields and had same distortions. Contacted toyota customer service. Now customer service and area rep telling me all toyota camrys have this distortion in glass and is considered a "common item" instead of a defect. Have checked aftermarket glass and most seems to have some distortions to a varying degree. This distortion is not just at the edge of the windshield and is distracting when driving and could possibly affect safety. Is this a common problem in new vehicles? My previous vehicles did not have this distortion. Glass technician calls it "cross grain distortion".
A "known problem with this model" with "parts on national back order" is that the driver's window track is apparently disfunctional and has to be replaced. I am unable to roll down the driver window after 3 months of ownership on a new car.
