"A lemon among a 'recommended car'"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

At 72,500 miles engine blew. Perfectly maintained car with records.

At 39,000 miles valve seals had to be replaced.

At 68,000 miles valve seals had to be replaced again.

At 73,000 miles the rack and pinion steering mechanism had to be replaced.

At 44,000 miles the Air conditioning compressor, clutch and drier had to be replaced.

At 44,000 miles left front window motor had to be replaced.

General comments?

A 'top rated' car is a lemon.

Maintenance costs are very high.

Letters and phone calls to manufacturer completely ignored.

Will never buy another Toyota.

Owning a 1997 Camry CE, I can say that this is the worst performing, least reliable Camry.

I have had Camry's and Toyota's, for years, and we own seven as a family right now. How can any of these many things possibly have all happened to the same car?

I think you have a beef with Toyota, or you work for or are partial to another make.
