1991 Toyota Camry Interior & seats Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

DRIVER NOTICED BURNING SMELL COMING FROM DASHBOARD IN AREA NEAR RADIO. GARAGE MECHANIC CONFIRMED BURNED OUT RADIO. SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN RECALLED IN 1995 AND HAD THE RADIO REPLACED, OWNER CALLED TOYOTA DEALER TO REQUEST A SECOND HANDLING OF THIS RECALL (NHTSA # 93V14700), BUT DEALER REFUSED TO HONOR IT AS A SECOND RECALL.

OWNER REPLACE RADIO AT OWN EXPENSE AND WISHES REIMBURSEMENT.*AK

BOTH FRONT DOORS ARE STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLIANTS FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 1991 CAMRYS, AND 1987-1990 CAMRYS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 1991 MODELS. *AK
