Window motor broke without warning. Mechanic says no way should a motor break on a 2 year old car. Internet blogs full of stories of window motors breaking on toyota vehicles. Replacement cost is $700 which is ridiculous.
2003 Toyota Camry visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
There is a cracking sound coming from the bottom of the driver side windshield. The dealer check the vehicle and stated they could not duplicate the problem. The consumer filed a complaint with the manufacturer one year ago and they stated they had no record. *jb. Noise was caused by oose molding, which is cosmetic and not safety related.
The vehicle was hit by a semi truck and totaled. None of the vehicle's air bags deployed. The consumer sustained injuries. *nm the headrest was shaped incorrectly for a short person and the windshields reflective properties were distracting when driving on brightly sunlit days.
Rearview mirror inadequate serious blind spots. Worse than any other car I have driven in 40 years! 2003 toyota camry-all.
The owner indicated that the defroster in the front and rear windows were defective. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was told that the problem could not be duplicated. When the owner picked up the vehicle from the dealer, the problem still existed. Please provide any additional information.
Rear driver's side window spontaneously exploded while driving.
Windshield has one tiny mark that I would describe exactly the way the first complainant described it, like a tiny nail mark. The windshield is cracking by this mark. Periodically, I would hear a loud noise like a rock had hit my windshield but was not able to discern what had happened. It was a mystery because the first couple of times that I heard the noise, there were no vehicles around me that could have thrown a rock. After hearing this noise a few times, a crack started appearing at the top of the windshield on the driver's side. I have had the dealer that I purchased the vehicle new from examine it and they claim it was caused by a rock. It is possible that when it happened I had my stereo on and did not know it happened. But the startling sound that a rock does make when it hits the windshield with that much force is hard to miss.
The cd changer initially had issues with playing cdr (cds made on a computer at home). It would skip all of the time. It also had issues with regular cds when attempting to fast-forward or reverse to a specific area of a song track. It took a visit and a couple telephone calls to toyota's customer service to get them to agree to replace the cd changer. Ever since this was replaced, I have had no further issues with the vehicle since then. However, in the camry that I had as a loaner when the vehicle was in on 7/28/03, that vehicle had the same issue with its cd changer and I told the service manager about it. The moon roof has had issues since the vehicle was originally purchased in january 2003. Basically, it has been leaking and a water noise is heard when operating the vehicle at highway speeds, which is not normal and the radio needs to be turned up to drown the sound out. The vehicle has been to the dealership for repairs for four times. The last time it was in was on 7/28/2003. At that point of time, the moon roof was not even closing completely. Toyota flew a field technician from california to kansas city for the repair. He claims that the reason for the moon roof not closing was because the battery was disconnected when the heated leather seats were installed and that caused the timing for the roof to become corrupted. The dealership never saw this problem ever with any 2002-2003 model camry and that is why a field tech was sent out. After he fixed the sunroof, I was assured by charles epp, toyota's regional manager, that my vehicle was fully repaired and he personally assured me that it was tested for water issues too and that everything was corrected by resetting the timing. While operating the vehicle shortly after the repair, the moon roof is still leaking and having water noises during highway operations during rainstorms. Recently, I had an arbitration hearing at jay wolfe toyota with an arbitrator from ncds.
I purchased a 2003 toyota camry in jan. 2003 since then I have had all sorts of problems, but the one that bothers me the most is tiny pock marks all over my front windshiled. It looks as if someone took a nail and tapped little tiny nicks on the glass. I have no idea how this happened, seeing as I do not tailgate any vehicle especially truckers. The dealership is going to take a look at it but they think this is my fault some how.
While traveling, the consumer felt hot air blowing from the air vents while the unit was turned off. The consumer had to travel with the air conditioner on at all times. Dealer contacted. *ak *cb
My 2003 toyota xl camry has a control that closes the driver's window. When activated you can release the button and the window continues to close. There is no safety stop which stops the action when the button is released. This can be a fatal exposure to a child or adult caught in the path of the window.
The power windows went up by themselves, without the button being pressed.
