2000 camry, v6, le - check engine light came on and would not go off. Was told it was probably because of filling the gas too much. The light stayed on over two years and I had to have the "sensor" replaced. It was only about five months ago when I had this replaced - and again the check engine light has came on and will not shut off. My car has almost 150,000 miles but the check engine light started having problems back around 50,000. I also had problems with backend clunking noises, and my front wheels clicked, and now the brakes squeak like crazy (and have for over two years). Every time I have the car looked at, and it has been by the dealers and authorized repair stations, they are unable to fix the problem. As for the check engine light - it cost me over $400 for repair - and now after only about 5 months, I guess I'll have to pay it again.

The windows in my car do not work. The pumps need to be replaced. The front passenger door will not unlock with my alarm pad. The windshield wipers do not function properly. This is my second toyota and the electrical system went bad in the last one I had also. My transmission had to be replaced and now my car squeaks when I am driving. It squeaks loudly. I would have submitted this before but I did not know about this website.

While applying brakes at highway speeds of 40 MPH or more, it causes steering wheel to vibrate, brake pedal would go to the floor associated with grinding noise, causing a delay in stopping distance. Dealer found normal wear and tear and replaced brake pads and rotors at no cost. *ak
