1994 Toyota Camry review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is a friends car, it was given to her by her uncle who took very good care of his cars and this was one of them. Toyota's last forever and this car is no exception to that rule. This car is still running, with a list of things that went wrong with it.
When she first got her license, we went for a drive in it, it drove very smooth for a car with so many miles on it. We cleaned the hell out of it, being so excited that she got the car. That night it rained and we had discovered that the sunroof doesn't close all the way... enough said.
No big deal though, they got that fixed and onto the next problem; the engine over heated because there was a crack in the radiator, they then got that problem taken care of.
One day, we were on our way to school when she was driving around a corner and we both noticed that the car was accelerating by itself, which was extremely scary... By the time we noticed we were going about 60 MPH and we shifted the car into neutral and it just revved until we could come to a stop and cut off the car. This was a problem no mechanic could figure out... That was one of the last time she took that car out because every time she did it would keep happening.
General comments?
...I think I've said enough.
