1993 Toyota Camry Tires & wheels Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the tire or wheel system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Tires & wheels 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.

TIRES HAD VERY UNEVEN AND PREMATURE WEAR, CAUSED BY IMPROPER REAR END ALIGNMENT. COOLING SYSTEM OVERHEATED, AND DID NOT HAVE A SYSTEM THAT SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN IN ORDER TO PROTECT ENGINE COMPONENTS. THUS, THE ENGINE ON MY VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND DAMAGED THE HEAD GASKET, WATER PUMP, AND TIMING BELT. EACH HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR HAS FAILED ON ALL BUT ONE WINDOW, RITHT REAR, OF MY CAR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF 1993-94 TOYOTA CAMRYS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE DESIGN OF THIS REGULATOR IS SEVERLY FLAWED.( DOT NUMBER: )
