Opened the sun roof while driving in the city, a loud horrific noise occurred above my head unexpectantly, it cause me to swerve. I pulled over to the side of the road, as I initially thought something had hit my car, and no that the sun roof had decided to fail. The sun roof broke off in part, leaving the right side dipped into the frame rail. When I tried to just close it to get back on track, then you could hear the motor or mechanics of the sunroof churning. The sunroof was able to be closed complete enough not to get rained on but that is all. Having spoke to a few dealerships/shops over the phone. I am being quoted anywhere from 2000.00 to 4000.00 to fix --- this is an expensive problem and the problem is with the mechanics of the sun roof. I seldom open my roof here in rainy seattle. Now, it's guaranteed not to open ever again, as I will opt to have the sun roof sealed and disconnect the mechanics to open it. All this on top of air bag issue. The air bag on the passenger front right side is separating from the dashboard console, I called burien toyota in the seattle area, the receptionist for service looked up my VIN and told me my VIN is not on the list of affected airbags. I assured her whether or not my VIN is on the list --- there is an airbag issue with the unit. My goodness must another person die behind these faulty airbags.

I have 2003 toyota camry le.. I got into multiple issues with the vehicle. First one is the sun roof/moon roof getting jammed and not closing properly resulting in water leak and as well as high cabin noise. Dealer told it will cost 2000 + to fix the sunroom/moon roof as this need to be replaced complete. Also while doing the 110000 service dealer said the front and rare suspension system needs to be replaced which will cost 2000 + usd. I am requesting toyota to look into this and get this fixed for me.

2003 toyota camry le; sun visor and cup holder broke, rear car stereo speakers have become so brittle, they crack at the touch. I don't understand why the quality of everything is so bad and the consumer suffers as a result of it. A toyota dealer gave me a price over $900 for all repairs, but over $400 for the speaker covers, they said they had to replace the whole back panel. I went to an auto accessory shop, he can buy the covers from a toyota dealer for $40, put them on for $65, total $105. When I contacted toyota I was told the warranty had expired and there was nothing they could do. Prior to this, the upholstery in the roof of my car came apart at the rear window. Toyota repaired this problem, but they never explained to me why I had to replace my tires before I had 10, 000 miles on them, I think they were just bad tires. If any of these issues can be addressed I would appreciate it. I'm sure I'm not the only person having problems with the newer cars. This is my third toyota, but I never had these problems when they believed in quality.
