2004 Toyota Solara SLE V6 review from North America
"Doesn't get worse than this"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a 2004 Solara convertible
A stain had to be removed from the paint.
The leather shifter had to be replaced due to the leather peeling.
I had to have the entire top replaced, including all bars, belts, etc. The explanation from the CT dealer was the alignment was off which created the fabric to rub against the molding and the fabric to tear.
It was supposed to be completed in 3 days, and my car was in service for 35 days! All the parts were on back order from overseas!
I also had problems with the windows leaking water, and had to bring it in 3 times, finally I took pictures of the leaks in order for the dealer to fix it... what a waste of my time. My convertible is now starting to vibrate and rattle again, which is how I found the problem the 1st time!
I am currently gathering my information to file this vehicle under the Lemon Law.
General comments?
I love my heated seats.
