1999 Toyota Camry LE from North America - Comments

"I absolutely love my 1999 Toyota Camry and would buy another Toyota product in a heartbeat"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Struts needed to be replaced at 100,000 replaced brakes at 29,000,timing belt replaced at 106,000,spark plugs at 106,000 and gas filter and all the belts at 106,000. Interior is in excellent condition as is the body. It rides very low and has a funny squeak when you hit a bump. Currently at 107,000 miles my check engine light has come on and stays on. At 35,000 miles my power window on the driver side stopped working. Come to find out it there was a recall on the car for this problem, I did not receive a letter to this effect, but I had it fixed for free and 2 weeks later it happened again. Returned it to the dealer who was hesitant to replace it again, but they did and I have not had issues since then.

General comments?

I have owned 2 Camry's. A 1991 that has 188,000 miles on it and runs like a charm. Replaced timing belt on it at 75,000 and conitnue to replace the oil every 3000 miles. It has had brakes, tires and regular maintenance. Other than the body rot the car is in great shape. I now own a 1999 Camry and have just finished paying it off and now things are beginning to happen. A new timing belt, 2 weeks later it need new spark plugs and gas filter and now one week later the check engine light is on. I will be bringing to my my local garage where they will look into the problem. I know from past experience on my Cutlass Supreme that when the check engine light came on it was the catalytic conventor/emmissions. I hope in this case it is something minor.

Hello to whom it may concern I also have a 1999 camry le

and it is in excellent shape the paint is still glossy

and the car overall runs great I had the engine light

come on at 103,000. I took it to toyota and said it was

catalytic converter! approx 1,300 dollars I took it to

sullivan's tire and did it for 650 dollars. A few suspension

issues because of pot holes and finally had the front

brakes done. But also did the Intake air control valve

because it was having a rough idle in cool weather.

But other than that the car still runs cherry and will

for many thousands more to go hope tht I helped you with

your check engine light. Good luck.
