we have two Camrys. The '02 has only 50,000 on it and now the brake ligh is turning on. Same light when parking brake is applied. I am betting that we are getting close to new brake job - haven't needed one yet. Is this a feature of the newer Camry's to have the brake light come on to indicate pads are getting low versus the old squeeler assembly that would rub the rotor? Thanks

I am driving my 92 XLE - girl friend would not be seen dead in it until it gets washed this spring. I just saw a posting about air conditioner filter being changed on a '02. Is there the same filter for my '92? Also, the driver's door handle has quit working - clunk and something snapped inside. My question is this... can I use the back left riders door handle as an exchange? I know that there is a connector for the power door attached, but is there the same holder for the left rear door handle.. As in one handle for both the left front and back doors? Trying to find replacement at the auto recyclers is hard, very few 92's around. Would a 93 perhaps fit? It is my intention to drive the car until it hits a half a million just to see the dealer's reaction when I try to trade it in for a new hybrid or like in a few years. Thanks |

I just got the 05 V6 SE. Driving it I have found that when I do a rolling stop then accelerate, I have problems. You can hear the engine but the car doesn't got for a second or two. It seems as if the car doesn't know which gear to go into. The car then catches up and the car jerks a bit. I took it to my dealership (w/ under 1000 miles on it!) and they said it was only the new technology. They said it was the new electronic wiring from the accelerator to the computer. I told them new technology, my 1985 Buick Skyhawk drove better. A 2005 Camry is the best selling car in America and thats how they drive? I think I just got a generic answer from my dealer. If it takes a 1/2 second for the computer to register that I am putting my foot on the gas, then why does it only happen when I am doing a rolling stop. Why wouldn't it do that when the car is completely stopped or when I am accelerating or merging? Can anyone help out? I was told by family mechanic that it is definetly a problem. I am thinking of trading in the car already and I originally planned on keeping it for 10 years!

Our camry is only having 7500 miles. The problem is: At extremely low speed, the steering wheel slides occasionally. This is especially noticeable when changing the direction of turning steering wheel. I can feel a small slippage, like a gap, and hear a small noise. Any clue? Thanks!

Replying to: gklatv (Jan 03, 2005 5:44 pm) If the pads are not worn and the fluid level keeps getting low, then the brake system has a leak somewhere that needs to be immediately fixed, or one may face complete loss of braking action in a hard stop, when it is needed most! After replacing brake pads, bleeding brake lines, and refilling the fluid to maximum level, experienced shops recommend leaving the fluid level as is, never top it off, so when the pads are worn, the lower fluid level and/or the brake light can serve as warnings. It's best to use Toyota's OEM pads. The pads' materials are specifically designed for the car and will work better, longer, quieter. The discount pads may be too hard, wearing out the rotor prematurely, and most of them will squeak and squeal, not worth any savings! |
