1999 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"I'm changing my views on the Toyota brand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got my '99 Camry from a used car dealership on the 3rd of December '08, and about 2 weeks later, the check engine light came on.
Took it to the nearest Toyota dealership, and they suggested the gas cap not being tight. They turned it off, but I drove 4 hours on the h/way and it came back on again.
Had some sensor replaced at $175.00, drove back 4 hours and it was on again!
Now I am told I have to replace some charcoal canister and VSV at over $500.00!!! I mean I have only had this car for less than a month and I'm spending upwards of $700.00 in wild geese chase maintenance, where's the peace of mind 'associated' with the Toyota brand??
