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????

Driver's door of new car needs much more force to close than other doors, on one occasion the door opened while vehcile was in motion and the door light did not come on, the consumer belives the door was defective and is a serious safety problem.

I purchased a 2001 camry le (new) and the dome light does not work the way the manual says it should. I have power door locks and keyless entry- when I use my keyless entry my dome light does not come on the way my manual states it should. And when I first close my door the dome light does not stay on for the 15 seconds like the manual says it should. This is very very unsafe for a person to get into this car after dark!!!! If someone was hiding in the car they would have all the advantages - if I use my keyless entry from 10 feet away and my light doesn't come I can't tell someone would be in the car but, in reality I have just signaled to that person that I'm on my way to the car, so get ready to jump out at me. They're ready and I wouldn't be!!!!!!!! Sounds extremely unsafe to me. How does toyota justify taking "away" safety features. Is that what happenes when we give them a chance to do business in america?
