1998 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"This car is a poor representation of itself"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The right front door glass slipped out.
The power window button on right rear came loose.
The power button enclosures on both front doors are spreading open revealing padding on the inside.
The air-condition unit is blowing black greasy material out the front vents.
The right front strut mount rattles noisily.
General comments?
As the owner of a 1992 Camry LE and a 1995 Camry LE, I have come to expect the best from Toyota.
As you may imagine, I am totally disappointed with the result of my purchase.
I am also disappointed because the Toyota service department protocol seems to be set up to deny repairing these faults.
