The third day I drove it off of the lot, the brake light came on. I nearly got into an accident because the brakes suddenly went down all the way to the floor. Turned out to be brake lines. Fixed under warranty.
About a week later, the car refused to accelerate properly. There was a problem with the fuel injection. Fixed under warranty.
In the same month, the alarm system locked and would not allow me to start the car. It left me stranded about a half-hour from home. Dealer towed and disabled it under warranty.
Three days after I received it back, it wouldn't start again because of something with the battery. I attempted to give it a boost, and it still wouldn't budge. I never quite knew what was wrong, but it was fixed under warranty.
Smoke began to come from under the hood whenever I went on the highway or drove at higher speeds. Dealer said it was head gaskets and claimed to fix them. Car continued to smoke.
I expected to have some problems because even though the car only had 86K on it, it was still pretty old. Somebody didn't maintain it well because I chose the Camry because of many people I know owning one and being extremely pleased with it. Next time I have to watch where I'm buying from and I will continue to possibly buy Toyota, but I'll go newer and to somewhere else.
I too had a 1992 Camry, but it was the LE version a base model 4cyl.I owned it for about 2 years it's easily one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. Aside from all the interior faults nothing major it was a good car for me it had more space than my Honda civic of the same year!The 2.2 4 cyl is a very dependable motor I used to drive down the interstate doing 95-100+ and not once did the motor fail hiccup or anything of that nature and it had over 288K not bad for a car of it's age my old civic died around 175K and wasn't as reliable as the Camry.
I recently purchased a 92 Camry XLE. I have a minor problem with it. The speedometer sometimes is stuck at 0 and will not move until it dies at a stop sign or light. I can quickly restart it, but I'm not sure what's up with it. Any clues would help. Thanks.
Brakes, fuel injectors, alarm system and unspecified battery problem all fixed under warranty?
On a 14 year old car?
