2003 Toyota Camry 2.0 review from Singapore
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Occasional rattle from dash (seems to be affected by temperature of the day).Car's quiet otherwise so the rattle is like the Japanese water torture. This from day one. Dealer has been unable or unwilling to solve this irritation.
Windscreen wipers now ride higher up on the glass when they are not in use. Seems like they have gone out of rig.
Squishy sound from left front damper over speed humps at parking speeds.
Drive belts are squealing;car is about 18 months old.
Aircon compressor has been very rough lately.It's quite a load on the engine. Every time the compressor cuts out it reminds me of the song "I want to break free".
General comments?
Reliable family transport.
