1992 Toyota Camry Owner Complaints

BOTH FRONT DOORS CANNOT OPEN EITHER FROM EXTERIOR NOR INTERIOR WITH KEY. KEYS WORK FINE. LATCH/DOOR KNOB BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DON'T WORK AND NO SAFE EXIT OF VEHICLE EXCEPT THROUGH BACK DOOR. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $500 PER DOOR PLUS OTHER DIAGNOSTIC FEES TO FIX. I WOULD ALSO HAVE TO HAVE CAR TOWED IN FOR THEM TO DO DIAGNOSTICS ON IT. STATED THEY WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE DOORS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS HAS TO BE HANDLED BY THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THE CUSTOMER AGENT STATED THAT THIS IS NOT TOYOTA'S PROBLEM AS THE CAR IS NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY.

ON THE AFTERNOON OF OCTOBER 25, 2011, I DECIDED TO RUN THE ENGINE OF MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER?S 1992 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CAR HAD BEEN STORED IN A COVERED AREA, AND NOT DRIVEN, SINCE AUGUST 15, 2011. BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS CONNECTED, I FELT I SHOULD RUN THE ENGINE FOR A SHORT PERIOD. I UNLOCKED AND OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR AND SAT ON THE EDGE OF THE DRIVER SEAT WITH THE DOOR OPEN. MY INTENTION WAS TO START THE PARKED CAR AND LET IT RUN FOR A SHORT PERIOD (SEVERAL MINUTES) IN ORDER TO CHECK AND CHARGE THE BATTERY. IN ORDER TO PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, I PLACED MY LEFT ARM ACROSS THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL, AND LEANING ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL, INSERTED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. UPON TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION (1/4 TURN-THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OVER), THE DRIVER AIR BAG EXPLODED AND THE CAR FILLED WITH BLACK SMOKE. THE IMPACT OF THE BAG HIT ME IN THE STERNUM, ACROSS THE CHEST AND LEFT CLAVICLE WITH THE FORCE OF THE BAG EXPANSION HITTING ME IN THE SOFT TISSUE OF MY NECK, THROAT AND UNDER MY JAW. I WAS THROWN BACK AGAINST THE SEAT AND MY GLASSES WERE THROWN INTO THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT BROKE THE BUTTONS ON THE FRONT OF MY POLO SHIRT AND CAUSED THE NECKLACE I WAS WEARING TO CUT MY THROAT. I SUFFERED CHEMICAL BURNS ON MY FACE AND CHEST FROM THE SODIUM AZIDE. I HAVE A PERMANENT SCAR ON MY NECK. INITIALLY MY HEARING AND SWALLOWING WERE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. THE IMPACT HAD A BLAST AND ?STUNNING? EFFECT. I HAVE HAD CORRESPONDENCE WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. THEY ARE REFUSING TO OFFER ANY COMPENSATION FOR INJURIES AND HAVE ADMITTED FAULT BASED ON THE REPORT OF THEIR ENGINEER, WHO EXAMINED THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE OFFERED TO "BUY BACK" THE CAR ($2500) IN EXCHANGE FOR A HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT SIGNED BY ME. I FIND THEIR OFFER UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 1992 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE 6 ON THE INTERSTATE, WITH THE RADIO ON, SMOKE SUDDENLY STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND QUICKLY FILLED THE CABIN. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I LOOKED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SAW A WIRED ELECTRIC MODULE WHICH WAS RED-HOT TO THE TOUCH. (SLIGHTLY BURNED FINGERTIP) I THEN CALLED FOR HELP AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME. THE NEXT DAY I FOUND OUT THAT THE UNDERSEAT SMOKING MODULE WAS THE STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER FOR THE RADIO. ALSO, I FOUND ON THE INTERNET REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER CAMRYS WHICH RESULTED IN FIRES. *TR

IN THE YEAR OF 1992 APPROXIMATELY 7/92 THROUGH 1993 I WORKED IN THE MACHINING AREA FOR THE SPINDLE CONPONENT MADE FOR THE 1992-1993 TOYOTA CAMRY. DURING THAT TIME IN APPROXIMATELY THE MONTH OF OCTOBER OF 1992 THE SPINDLE UNIT WHERE FOUND TO HAVE BEEN OVER HEATED AND HAD VERY DEEP CRACKS UPON WHERE THE BEARING UNIT WOULD BE SEATED. UPON FINDING THE PROBLEM MANAGERS COMPANY CARS WERE DISASSEMBLED FOR TRY TO TRACK BACK HOW FAR THE PROBLEM WENT BACK. THE MANAGERS CAR WERE ALSO FOUND TO HAVE CRAKS IN THEIR SPINDLE UNITS.THE COUNTERMEASURES TAKEN PLACE WAS TO PUT SAND BAGS IN THE TRUNKS OF THE CARS AFTER THEY WERE RE-ASSEMBLED AND DROVE ON THEIR TEST TRACK AT THEIR FECILITIES THERE IN GEORGETOWN,KY.. MANY PICTURES OF CONPONENTS WERE TAKEN AND PLACE ON A COMPUTER HARD DRIVE WITHIN THE QC DEPT. AREA TO DO AN COMPARISON WITH OTHER CONPONENTS. THE FAILURE OF THIS CONPONENT COULD CAUSE THE TIRES TO COME COMPLETE AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THAT THE SPINDLE WOULD HAVE BROKEN.AS FAR AS I'M AM AWARE THERE WAS NEVER ANY RECALLS OR REPAIRS DONE TO THE VEHICLES SOLD.PLEASE COMP;ETE AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE OTHERS WHO STILL WORK WITHIN THE POWERTRAIN DEPT. THAT CAN VERIFY THIS STORY.AMOUNT OR NUMBER OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. *AK

1992 V6 3.0 CAMRY HISTORY OF MULTIPLE PROBLEMS AND REPAIRS, GOOD MAINT. RECORD, NONE COVERED RECOGNIZED BY TOYOYA WARRANTY. ENGINE AND STEERING AND SUSPENSION IN THIS CAR AND MANY OTHERS IS LLISTED AS SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS IN RESEARCH REPORTS FOR A REASON. MANUFACTURING, ENGINEERING DESIGN ALL PROBLEM AREAS. DRIVING CAR AT SLOW SPEED, HAD UNCONTROLLABE PULL TO LEFT AND SURGING CAR INTO A WALL. DRIVER AIRBAG AND SUSTAINED NONLIFE THREATENING INJURIES. PROPERTY DAMAGE TO WALL AND TO CAR SIGNIFICANT. INVESTIGATOR SAYS MOST LIKELY RACK AND PINION STEERING AT FAULT. READING UP ON TOYOTA CARS WITH V6 3.0 ENGINE AND DESIGN OF CAR, BELIEVE THIS CAR AND OTHERS SHARE THE SAME PROBLEMS, SO COMPLICATED, DIFFICULT COSTLY TO ADDRESS, TOYOTA CHOOSING TO IGNORE ADDRESSING PROBLEMS. THIS CAR IS XAMPLE OF ONE VEHICLE BEEN AROUND MANY YEARS AND WHAT ULTIMATELY CAN HAPPEN WHEN THE PROBLEMS NOT FIXED. BELIEVE DESIGN FLAWS SIGNIFICANT AND DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD. BELIEVE IN THE V6 ENGINES AND STEERING DESIGN( SAME DESIGN SOME LEXUS AND OTHER TOYOTA MODELS ) ARE PERSISTANT PROBLEMS. ONLY MATTER OF TIME BEFORE LIVES WILL BE LOST DUE TO WHAT I THINK IS NEGLIGENCE IN ACKNOWLEDGING (NOT FIXING THE PROBLEMS WHICH MAY NOT BE FIXABLE WHICH IN THAT CASE THE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED.OVERWHELMING COST, SEE WHY TOYOTA WOULD NOT WANT TO DO THAT.) UNFORTUNATELY, DOESNT STOP PROBLEMS RISKS FOR PEOPLE WITH THESE CARS. REALLY BELIEVE IF GET A LIST OF ALL THE CARS OUT THERE WITH THE V6 ENGINE AND THE STEERING DESING AS IN THIS CAMRY, YOU WOULD FIND THE SAME TYPE CONSISTENT PROBLEMS AND KEY TO WHAT REALLY IS CAUSING THEM TO SLUDGE, BLOW HEAD GASKETS, CATCH FIRE, BLUE SMOKE, SIEZE SURGE FORWARD PULL TO THE LEFT IN A MATTER OF ANYTHING FROM WANDERING TO UNCONTROLLABLE PULLING INTO HEAD ON TRAFFIC. PROBLEMS ARE CLEARLY NOTED AND REPEATED IN THE LITTLE TIME I HAVE SPENT REVIEWING COMPLAINTS. IT SHOULD BE MORE READILY AVAILABLE FOR TOYOTA TO LOOK INTO. *AK
