#508 of 558 Re: Camry brake lights on instr. panel [dvernon] by kiawah Jul 12, 2009 (4:06 pm)
Replying to: dvernon (Jul 12, 2009 4:01 pm) Checking the brake fluid in the master cylinder, is what I was referencing.   Can you check to see if your brake light bulbs in the rear are operating correctly. You may have a bulb out.
#509 of 558 assessed value at dealer by chris789 Jul 13, 2009 (5:50 pm)
The dealer assessed my car for a trade in and offered my $600 on my camry le 1996. The rear wheel make a noise and he thinks one of the struts might of come lose and need rewelding. Does anyone know how much this repair might cost? If its going to cost over $1000 then I might just take the $600.   Thanks, Chris Replies to this message: kiawah (Jul 14, 2009 3:22 am)

Replying to: chris789 (Jul 13, 2009 5:50 pm) I doubt that you'd be rewelding anything. Hard to say what your 'noise' is, but everything is bolted together. For instance, if your strut is bad, then they unbolt the strut, take it out of the vehicle, reassemble a new strut and put it back in, then align the vehicle's wheels.   You may want to have a repair shop actually look at what is wrong and give you an estimate for repair, as opposed to a used car manager guessing based on a sound.
#511 of 558 Broken interior door handle latch by jmgar Jul 26, 2009 (6:27 am)
The passenger side interior door handle plastic lever snapped on my 2002 Camry.   I can buy a replecement for $20 or so online. Has there been any recall on these ? It would seem dangerous to be unable to open the door from inside in an accident.   How difficult is it to remove the old plastic interior latch unit ? Do you just pry the unit out to replace, or have you got to disassemble surrounding upholstery panels ?   Apparently it happens a lot as there are a lot of ads for replacement parts.   Thanks for any help .

#513 of 558 97 Camry Tune-Up Requirements by mycamry97 Aug 01, 2009 (12:26 pm)
Hello (new to forum)   I have 1997 Camry LE, 166,830 miles. Excellent vehicle! Purchased new in '97. I inquired at Sears Automotive about cost for tune-up. I was asked about spark plugs and replacing wires. Approximately $200 total, so I didn't have work done today. I stopped taking my car to Dealer for service in 2007 (only because it was no longer convenient).   Sears has since done oil changes, transmission service, & minor services. In addition to spark plugs, what parts would be logical to replace for a tune-up. What should I expect to pay? I do not work on cars, but I like to be informed when dealing with mechanics.   By the way, Sears person also said my car required high-grade oil because of high mileage. Any comments about this?   Thanks for any feedback. Replies to this message: kiawah (Aug 01, 2009 4:24 pm) mycamry97 (Aug 01, 2009 5:38 pm)

#515 of 558 96 Camry dies when slowing or stopped at light... by mitty13 Aug 01, 2009 (12:01 pm)
My 96 Camry recently has quit while I've slowed to turn a corner or a couple times while I've been stopped at a red light. It usually starts back up after a couple tries and then drives normally. I've had it into the shop and they said they couldn't find any problems. A few days later while out of town, I heard a clunk noise and the car died and leaked anti freeze. I had it towed and they said it was the water pump and timing belt. I had them replace both and now a week later, my engine is still quitting on occassions. They've tried a few times to run the computer scan, but cannot get it to read anything. Any ideas? Replies to this message: azbrian (Sep 29, 2009 11:00 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (Aug 01, 2009 4:24 pm) I've never had timing belt or water pump replaced. Dealer recommended timing belt replacement at one time, but just haven't done it yet. Yes, I've heard about the consequences I would face when the timing belt fails, especially being stranded, and the huge repair/replacement cost.   I had always kept regular preventive maintenance services on my camry until now--budget issues. But I also want to try to avoid major repair situations when possible.
#517 of 558 2006 Camry Vibrates at 65+ MPH by treys842 Aug 01, 2009 (5:37 pm)
Just got a 2006 Camry, 35K miles, excellent condition. Car exhibits vibration starting at 65 mph. Half second on, half second off. Gets worse at 70 and 75. So far have had wheel weight replaced, tires rotated and balanced, and front end aligned. Still there. Anybody have any suggestions? Car does not vibrate during braking and absolutely no vibration below 65. Replies to this message: kiawah (Aug 03, 2009 2:43 am)
