Moisture Behind Speedometer Glass Corrected by anselmo1
Jun 01, 2001 (7:29 am)
Had my Camry in today for an inspection and oil change. Showed service advisor the condensation markings on the lower portion of the speedometer glass. Well, they have a quick fix for the problem. They remove the glass and clean it on the inside. The service advisor has noted this on numerous Camry models and this is what they have been doing at the dealership. I guess when it forms again, they will clean it free of charge each time. Three cheers for Toyota!

1999 Camry LE 4 - ABS Problem by bhavaraju
Jun 05, 2001 (7:44 am)
Hi!
 
I have 1999 Camry with 33000K, I bought it new and from my first year (after six months of purchase or so) I am having problem with my ABS.
 
It gets activated just like that, when ever I am breaking on a wet surface or rough surface or even on some rough spot.
 
First it got activated when I was stoping at red light, and I hit my front car, I got a ticket for that, I told the cop also, but still he gave me ticket. from that day I am having this problem, I complained to my dealer everytime I went there for servicing but they found everything quite normal.
 
Am I the only one facing this problem, or anybody else out there. What did you do about it? any kind of help/info is greatly appreciated.
 
thanks

It sounds like an intermittent open circuit, probably in a wheel speed sensor but possibly in one of the ABS controller power feeds or grounds. Suggest you have a dealer tech go for a drive with you over a rough road, with a scan tool attached to monitor all ABS controller inputs. If it acts up he should be able to identify which signal's dropping out.

General Tire on Camry by lugwrench

Has anyone else experienced problems with the General Tires that came standard on your Camry? Mine had to be replaced due to defects and replaced with Michelins.

I have a 99 camry with general's. The car has 10000 miles on them and they need replaced. This is our second car and my wife drives it 95% of the time. I don't know if it is my wife's driving or the tires, although her nick name is lead foot!

premature tire wear by chipperrrrr
Jun 21, 2001 (6:21 pm)
Twobrowns, I have a 96 camry le. I was very dissapointed when I wore through the original tires with approximately 17k miles. At that point, I installed 4 goodyear infinitreds and have had very good luck. I have them religiously rotated at no charge at the local goodyear dealer. I currently have 65K on the car and am showing very good tread remaining. I would not be surprised to recieve another 15 to 20 K of tire life from this set. Check them out. I think you will be happy.

General Tire produced many substandard tires in 1999 for the Camry. Toyota refused orders and replaced them with Dunlaps and Michelins until General corrected their problem. I was fortunate since Toyota replaced mine with Michelins at their expense at around 1000 miles.

My '97 Camry came with Michelins by 210delray

I rotated them every 7-8000 miles, including the spare, and got almost 50K miles out of them.

General Tires and streering vibration by dgn9
Jul 05, 2001 (11:45 am)
I have a Camry 98 and also replace the front tires Bridestone RE92 at 20K miles and have to do 4 wheel alignment. The problem is not the tires . The actual problem is the alignment. You can convice yourself by inspecting the front tires, you will see the tires are not worn out evenly.For streering vibration, Toyota did recall this problem for 98 model.
