Dmv visit and records as of 09/27/2018-thur.please read below. Currently in 2018, and a few years in the past dmv pull out records for different car under my ownership> my car is 2001 toyota camry with automatic transmission,airbags,cruise control, power steering wheel, updated leather seat, mobile seats and much more. It is silver/platinum-metallic color and etc. Dmv employee per today's visit 9/27/2018 refusing to give me a paperwork or to cooperate with the state rules to the true id of the ownership(tangible ownership-I paid cash for my car in 2001). She (woman-worker)told me at dmv office redwood city,ca 94063 appointment # b0039, approx window 9 service time2:40pm; that dmv will not change nor update nor to correct records - but the wrongful entry into dmv records makes property owner to suffer with the id cases through law enforcement agencies and other re departments of USA. It affects my personal holdings value and my own financial stability and personal safety - recalls for 2000 are different to recalls of 2001-due to major updates and improvements to the subject car with the approval of judicial court system in 2001 and later. Currently my vehicle is stationed, I am searching for the true answers of the title on my car. How to prove police department and other agencies - police/lot securities that my car has been taking care of and free of any payments. I am afraid for my life due to scrutany of employees of dmv -san mateo county, city of redwood city. By the way my car records are in santa clara county and even some attachments in santa cruz county-state of california.

I was hit by a speeding driver in cross traffic. (a lot of people a running through red lights!) the front bumper and grill area was badly damaged, right headlamp assembly was torn off and hood was buckled. My seat belt did not stop me from being thrown forward and the airbag did not deploy, causing my head to hit the windshield, breaking the glass. I received medical attention for my head injury. Two safety systems that failed. My car has been "totaled" by the insurance company.

Have had 4 windshields since we bought this car. The first time it was replaced the glass people said that there was no primer under the black exterior paint which probably contributed to the break. Each time after the repair people said the same thing. Lack of primer accelerated body rot around the windshield. Now water pours into the driver side floor due to rot around the windshield - auto body shop is looking at it now. They said it could be expensive to repair, they are going to try to fix it so that it doesn't leak. This is the most recent incident. The prior replacements were done by settles glass, triumph glass and jm phillips glass. All repairmen said the same thing - lack of primer LED to windshield breakage and accelerated rot.

First toyota is claiming that they wont be responsible for rust through since first they said we washed the car the wrong way when in fact we have life time free car wash in the dealership where we bought the car from. Then the debris inside the inner door locks and under the hood next to the engine it self wont be covered since it is abnormal driving. Well if you drive on the highways of il and this is abnormal then by all means general public should be aware of that right????

Dt: the contact states she received a carfax report that stated the following could happen. "the front frame assembly has not been adequately welded. Fuel throttle linkage and control; the accelerator cable housing could be deformed at the cruise control at the actuator to the throttle body. The inner accelerator inner cable could veer away and eventually break this could allow the throttle to return to the idle or remain in its most recent position regardless of accelerator pedal operation increasing the risk of a crash." none of these symptoms apply to her vehicle at this time.
