1968 Toyota CrownEngine & coolingEquipment & accessories

I am the first owner of my toyota corolla, which has 74,000 mile on it now. The car has been well maintained. However, there are some unexpected problems with the car. After I bought the car three and half years (march 2005), the check engine light went on and it was diagnosed that the evaporation system had malfunction and the charcoal canister and vacuum switch needed to be replaced. I had spent more than $600.00 To have this done. At that time I did not complain too much. However, the same thing happened...

again in november 2007, I had to spend another $600.00 To replace canister and valve again (after two and half years later). I believe that the two charcoal canisters had very bad quality! *Tr

I have had multiple problems with my 2002 tundra trd 4wd. I have had it in more than 4 times for the brakes vibrating/pulsating and looks like I will be taking it in again as they are starting to vibrate again!! Reno toyota has always done all the maintenance on it and keep trying to say it is my fault the brakes are bad and the rotors are warping. They replaced the rear axles a couple of months ago but I had to pay the $50 deductible. They also had to install a gasket on the crossover for the engine coolant as...

the factory never installed it. The ac doesn't get cool enough to cool the interior. Whistling noise but don't know where it is coming from...Sounds like coming from side mirrors??? I replace the wheels recently because of vibration because the wheels were warped. Always have excessive brake dust on front wheels. Transmission feels and sounds like it is slipping all the time. Rough idle after warm up. I bought it new in july 2002 and now have 69400 miles on it. Most of which are highway miles with no towing ever...No heavy hauling ever. Am too afraid to drive it off-road because of all the brake problems...Nevada=mountains=cliffs=death...I am not ready to risk my life or my grandchildren so will not even let me ride with me anywhere. *Nm

Oxygen sensors constantly fail. I have replaced twice and another is currently out. Toyota extended the warranty instead of recalling and fixing the problem. The second o2 sensor was out within the extended warranty period but I didn't fix b/c I already had it repaired once. Of 3, I was reimbursed for 1.*Ak

We own a 1998 toyota camry vin [[redacted]], and we are the original owners of this car. About a one and a half years ago, we replaced the idle speed control unit for approximately $400.00. The camry had problems starting when it is cold, and the hayward california toyota dealer wants to charge us another $400.00 To replace the same part that they replaced about 18 months ago. The part is a toyota manufacturing part, and it cost about $250.00. Toyota has not recalled this part, and it should last longer than 18...

months. I have talked with a number of auto repair shops, and they know that this part fails on the toyota camry. I have filed a complaint with toyota corporation reference number [[redacted]], but I do not feel toyota will address this problem. I have not heard from them, and I filed the complaint about two months ago. I am hoping that you will investigate this problem and let me know what you discover. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.*Ak updated 07/24/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6)
