1994 Toyota Camry Power Train

1994 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS PUT IN REVERSE AND SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. IT CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE, CAR DAMAGE AND PERSONAL TRAUMA.*TR

ON AUGUST 10, 2009 I GOT INTO MY 1994 TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLE, PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AT THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH IN REVERSE. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE CAMRY, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND PERSONAL TRAUMA. I NOTIFIED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN TORRANCE, CA AND THEY HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO COMPENSATE THE DAMAGES. *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE. ONLY HAS 82K. I HEARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT THIS IS A DEFECT WITH 92-94 CAMRY AND LEXUS. IN FACT, A LEXUS WAS BEING TOWED INTO THE SHOP WHEN I WAS THERE WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVEN'T HAD IT FIXED YET BECAUSE IT WILL COST $1700, WHICH I DON'T HAVE. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS OF $310 A MONTH AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR IT PER CONSUMER GOODWILL. ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.*AK

THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN #EG94-002 ON THIS MECHANICAL COMPLAINT, I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT IF TOYOTA ISSUES A "RECALL" ON THE DEFECT, THEY WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO THE REPAIR. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT OR THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE ISSUED THE SERVICE BULLETIN. IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THEIR MISTAKES, THEN THEY SHOULD PAY TO REPAIR THEM. THERE ARE A LOT OF DISGRUNTLED TOYOTA OWNERS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, AND I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD OWN UP TO A BAD DESIGN!ECT

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT.

WE TOOK OUR CAR INTO A FIRESTONE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHY THIS CAR WAS CHEWING UP TIRES. THIS IS THE THIRD SET OF TIRES WE HAVE PUT ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 63,000 OR SO MILES ON IT. THE LAST SET OF TIRES WAS PUT ON BY SAM'S AT 55,415 MILES AND THE HAVE ALREADY GONE BAD. THEY WERE TOP OF THE LINE TIRES AT 59.99 DOLLARS EACH. THEY WERE WARRANTEED FOR 50,000 MILES. THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE AT 63,000 MILES. I THINK THERE IS A DEFECT THAT RUNS IN THESE CARS IN THE CV AXLE WHICH IS WHAT THE FIRESTONE DEALER TOLD ME WAS SHOT IN MY CAR AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS CHEWING UP THE TIRES. I HAVE HAD MY CAR ALIGNED, THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED REGULARLY ON THIS LAST SET OF TIRES AND THEY HAVE GONE BAD ANYWAY. THIS IS A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE WEARING QUICKLY AND UNEVENLY IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THEY ARE ALSO SPLITTING.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 195/0HR14 )

TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY "BURNED" OUT/FAILED, REDERING VEHICLE INOPERABLE.
