Various electrical system failures

CD player continuously skips

Check Engine light on.

General Comments:

This car has been generally OK, except for a few annoying problems. I've had some electrical problems and the cigarette lighter and clock do not work - all fuses are OK.

The CD player skips with brand new CDs, the dealership was very annoying, refusing to admit any problems with the CD player, although it obviously skips and has since the car was new.

Currently, I can't figure out why the check engine light is on at 39K miles, even though the car seems to be running fine.

Faults:

Haven't had many overall problems with the vehicle. The only thing that has been changed is the battery and tires.

General Comments:

This model Toyota Camry is the lowest of the range, but has some good standard features and also a nice range of factory options.

The car has a potent 94kw's@flwyheel.I feel that its needs a little more power, but is still enough to pull the 1400kg weight. But yeah this car is not meant to be quick. Overall the engine has a generally strong build and has not suffered and mechanical problems thus far.

The ride of the car has to be one of the highlights. A very smooth ride indeed, even better with the engine being so quiet. The car does tend to sway while doing turns at high speeds, but this is expected.

The interior is rather plain and simple, but functional at the same time. The seats are very comfortable and the leg room is very good for a medium sized vehicle.

Overall the car is a nice family car and you basically get what you pay for. Camry's in the future are only getting better and better.

Faults:

I replaced the front struts.

O2 sensor.

Passenger seat belt 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 the car off when refueling or the car will stall due to the fuel system. Their fix was to replace the gas cap seal. When the same problem happened after initial service, I disconnected the battery to reset the computer, and avoided Toyota's high service fees.

Also, had to have the rear passenger seat belt 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.
