1999 Toyota Camry LE review from North America

"Lots of problems, Buyers beware!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I replaced the front struts

O2 sensor

passenger seatbelt roller replaced.

General comments?

I've owned this car for nearly three years and I'm very disappointed. Engine seems okay so far and luckily haven't had sludge problems, but I'm using Castrol Syntec blend. Haven't noticed paint problems, maybe because the car is garage kept. The suspension is horrible. I replaced the front struts at 38,000 miles and now a year later, there seems to be another rumbling noise from the same area in the front passenger side of the car. Toyota really needs to redesign the suspension on these cars. Have also had problems with oxygen sensor and check engine light coming on. According to Toyota, the fuel system is sealed and extremely sensitive. Even in the dead of winter, you must shut car off when refueling or car will stall due to fuel system. Their fix was to replace gas cap seal. When the same problem happened after initial service, I disconnected battery to reset computer and avoided Toyota's high service fees. Also, had to have the rear passenger seatbelt roller replaced due to a bad spring coil. Had to speak my mind here as I know that Toyota won't own up to any of these weaknesses or make good on problems.
