2002 Toyota Camry suspension problems

“PURCHASED THE CAMRY FROM REYES AUTO GROUP IN LAKEWOOD, NJ. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO PA WHERE I LIVE AND 2 MECHANICS SHOWED ME THE RUSTED OUT UNDER CARRIAGE OF VEHICLE AND STATED THAT IT WILL NOT PASS THE PA SAFETY INSPECTION AND WOULD COST OVER $2000 TO FIX! GAS STARTED LEAKING FROM TANK BECAUSE OF RUSTED CONDITION.”

“TOOK THE CAR TO GOOD YEAR CHANGE A BUNCH OF PARTS. AFTET THAT TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE OIL CHANGED. ON THE 01/27/2016 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON THE THE VEHICLE. I SENT YOU ARE REPORT LAST WEEK AS WELL. I NEED YOUR INTERVENTION. PLEASE STOP TOYOTA FROM RIPPING CONSUMER OFF. IT NOW STATES THAT THE GAS CAP IS OFF AND OR LOOSE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE.”

“2002 CAMRY LE,50K MILES ALWAYS PULLS TO LEFT. HAS BEEN TO DEALER AND VARIOUS SHOPS. STEERING WHEEL SHUDDERS AND VIBRATES AT ANY AND ALL SPEEDS. PROBLEM IS STRUCTURAL. BRAKES ARE CONSTANT PROBLEM. SUNROOF WILL NOT SEAL CORRECTLY THEREFORE REAR FLOOR IS NOW WET. NOW EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF BUYING A 1950 STUDEBAKER! AND GM IS IN TROUBLE? LAST TOYOTA FOR ME. CAR IS UNSAFE. *TR”

“REPLACEMENT OF WHEEL BEARING AND BRAKES REQUIRED FOR 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY, 64K MILES, NO RECORD OF ACCIDENTS. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT ONE WILL BEFORE LONG WHEN WHEEL BEARING AND/OR BRAKES FAIL. *TR”

“1:40 PM, JAN 20, 2007, I WAS DRIVING MY SEQUOIA N/B ON SIERRA HWY IN THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 40-45 MPH. I NOTICED A SLIGHT STIFFNESS IN THE STEERING. A SHORT TIME LATER THE LEFT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE VIOLENTLY FELL TO THE GROUND. THERE WERE VEHICLES BEHIND ME AND WITH DIFFICULTY I STEERED TO THE CURB. WHEN THE VEHICLE FELL TO THE GROUND, I HEARD A LOUD 'BANG', AND I FELT THAT I LOST SOME OF MY BRAKES. ONE OF THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME TOLD ME SHE SAW SPARKS COMING FROM UNDER MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED AT THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. I SAW THE LEFT FRONT TIRE, WHEEL & HUB (ALL STILL ATTACHED) FOLDED UNDER THE LEFT RUNNING BOARD PREVENTING THE FRONT FENDER AND BUMPER FROM FALLING DIRECTLY TO THE ROADWAY. I SAW THAT THE BRAKE LINES APPEARED TO BE BROKEN. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO TOYOTA ON MON, JAN 22, 2007. I WAS TOLD THAT IT APPEARED THE LEFT UPPER BALL JOINT HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE WHEEL TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED THEIR SERVICE DIRECTOR TO DETERMINE WHAT REPAIRS SHOULD BE MADE. I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT TOYOTA HAD 'NO LIABILITY' TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AT THEIR EXPENSE. REPAIR…”

“I HAVE A 2002 CAMRY AND THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. I'VE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT ARE SIMILAR, SO THIS MUST BE A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT MY STRUTS AND MOUNTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED - ALONG WITH MY BRAKES. *NM”
