2003 Toyota Camry SE review from North America

"Toyota is slipping"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Brakes worn early and unevenly.

Sun roof out of adjustment.

Static on AM band of radio.

Creaks and rattles from front glass and sunroof.

General comments?

The car has potential. The problem is that Toyota has forgotten that a customer is important. I had a problem with my brakes, they were wearing out on the passenger side faster than the driver side. My mechanic brought this to my attention during a routine inspection. He expressed great concern and recommended that I have it checked immediately. Toyota response was that it was in 'spec'. and I paid a $50.00 inspection fee. When I complained they suggested that the factory rep look at it in several weeks. After looking at the car the Factory rep stated that it was in 'spec'.

During this process I was pretty much treated as if I knew nothing of cars and that I should just be comforted by the fact that the experts advised me that all is OK.

I checked alot of places and was univerally told that this was a problem that required looking into. Everyone was concerned except for Toyota.

I bought this car because my 1996 Camry was bullet proof. The brakes on that car lasted over 100k miles.

I sold the Camry last week and don't intend to buy another.
