Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Body & structure 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.

I TOOK MY 1994 TOYOTA CAMRY TO TOYOTA MALL OF GEORGIA, 3505 BUFORD DR., BUFORD, GA 30519 FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE ON 8/31/10. I ALSO TOLD THEM IT WAS MAKING A WHOO, WHOO, WHOO SOUND IN THE PASSENGER FRONT END AND THAT THE LAST TIME IT WAS MAKING A SOUND LIKE THAT I NEEDED A NEW AXLE. THEY CALLED ME SHORTLY AFTER I LEFT AND SAID THAT IT NEEDED A NEW AXLE. DIDN'T SAY WHY, JUST THAT IT NEEDED ONE. (INFLATED PRICING) I GAVE THEM APPROVAL TO INSTALL A NEW AXLE. THEY SAID THAT IT NEEDED TO COME OUT OF JACKSONVILLE, FL SO IT WOULD BE TOMORROW (9/1/10) BEFORE MY CAR WAS READY. THEY PUT IT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT. ON MONDAY 9/13/10 I WAS CIRCLING AROUND BEHIND A BUILDING WHEN THE AXLE BROKE IN HALF. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 15/20 MPH. WHAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GOING FASTER ? I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS WAS A NEW TOYOTA PART. WAS THE AXLE DEFECTIVE OR WAS THE MECHANIC ? I DID NOT CALL TOYOTA BECAUSE OF OTHER ISSUES THAT HAD OCCURRED WITH THEM. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP THAT REPLACED THE BROKEN AXLE. *TR
