#61 of 5279 Break Away Mirrors by mxylplik2 Mar 22, 2000 (1:56 pm)
Notice how the latest Camry's don't have break-away side mirrors. Its surprising that Toyota has not provided this feature although I'm sure many customers want it. My sales guy said something like "less wind noise" but the Lexus ES 300 (basically the same car) has the break-away mirrors and you would think the Lexus would have less wind noise! Has anyone explored the feasibility of having the Lexus ES 300 mirrors put on the Camry XLE (the one with the tweeter right next to the mirror)? If so, how much would it cost to have it installed by the dealer? The job would be complicated as the tweeter is in the housing right next to the mirror. Maybe I could sell my Camry mirrors to the junkyard.
#62 of 5279 95 Defrost Problem by rdavid222 Mar 23, 2000 (7:00 am)
Set control to Defrost and Turn on the A/C and set temp control to mid-range....this should do the trick. Later models (mine= 98) work so that when you set control to Defrost, the A/C is turned on automatically.

Do you know why they designed the A/C to come on with defrost?
#64 of 5279 A/C with defrost by bnormann Mar 23, 2000 (6:13 pm)
The "defrost" feature also removes condensation when your windows are fogged up. Humans expel a great deal of moisture in their breath and it tends to fog up the inside of the windows on cars that have the ability to recirculate air. The A/C removes moisture from the air that is blown on the windows and really helps reduce the fogging.            Bruce. PLUS: It helps ensure that you run the A/C at least once every couple of months. This keeps the seals in the system "wetted" so they don't dry out and start leaking. It really does extend the useful life of most A/C systems.

Thanks for the answer.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride had a happy ending and maybe your story will too. Please keep posting. I wouldn't file a suit for your own time off. That would only distract you from helping your sister. You took the time off. There is no contract to enforce. I am very mistrustful of buying a Toyota. To the post re: putting ES300 part on Camry by dealer. Don't flatter yourself to think one part can be put on another car. It is a similar car but 1. it is a different car 2. made in a different factory in Japan.
#67 of 5279 Wild Ride!!!! by abarbee Mar 25, 2000 (10:45 am)
It has been that and it looks like a long one.... I don't have a clue as to what Toyota is up to... Mistrust is an understatement when it comes to these guys backing up their warranty in this particular case. I felt my sister was in great hands with Toyota and feel I have let her down ....terribly...by recommending these charlatans...                           abarbeecowboystuff.com

I'm really sorry how things turned out for your sister. My family has had nothing but great experience with Toyota products. So I feel that Toyota should do nothing less everything to ensure every toyota owners are happy. And they way you have been treated truely dissappoint me. I don't see how they can refuse you a warrant repair if you have the record of maintainance and your car only has 19K miles on it. It's clearly covered under warranty. You should take them to court, I don't see how you can lose.

I love Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. It's been taken down in Florida but you can still go on it in California Disneyland. It's a bood and an animated movie. Mr. Toad has "motormania." I certainly do. You didn't let down your sister abarbee. Anyone is lucky to have a brother who cares as much as you obviously do.
#70 of 5279 President Inaba Responds... by abarbee Mar 28, 2000 (11:23 am)
Not directly mind you...but though a personal assistant...(wish I had one to deal with Toyota). Got a call from James Juell(sp)(he said it rhymes with fuel) yesterday claiming to be an assistant to Mr Inaba....said they understood and appreciated the fact that I was helping my sister. (so far so good I thought) Said we had another chance to straighten this thing out....(I was starting to think that they might have seen daylight) He went on to say he would FAX me the Arbitration Form (I was so taken aback that I gave him my Fax number which he obviously already had with my Company Fax cover sheet.) It is a bit ironic that he 'understands'. I didn't and still don't but for what it is worth Toyota did respond. Ms Fairbrother on the other hand did not count the number of pages Fax'ed nor call to confirm the shortage registered by my machine...but I get the feeling they ended up in the trash pretty quickly so why would they want to count and collate the pages sent them. If they didn't even check the number of pages in a dispute pending how can they ever accuse my sister of not checking the oil.                                                abarbeecowboystuff.com Twice I called the dealership yesterday and left messages for the Service Manager to please call so he could explain our options and their projected costs....I went to the dealership late morning and he was not available...talked to the service rep and looked at the pictures of 'sludge'. No argument from us. It is sludge. By gosh after one month of checking we all see that now. We are moving right along at lightning speed....We have pictures...documents...many people involved..and we all agree....sludge... Now if the President of Toyota will just call the 1 Ms Fairbrother...who will call her assistant 2 Betty Tuscon....who will call 3. Gary Kirchoff ...who will call 4. Robert Howard...who will call 5. Paul(who has since quit, bought a house, and moved to a new job since this started)    Jason who replaced Paul...who could walk into Terry Evans Office and ask him to call ... 6. Alan Barbeewho will call.... 7. his sister to tell her her options 8. Who can't call anyone because they won't authorize any work till she goes back to the dealership for the third time to sign the repair order form.                ---------------- Mr Yoshi Inaba....Do you really understand??? And if you do, why are you not changing this? Would you want your daughter or sister treated this way? Really?
