1999 Toyota Camry Solara Body and structure Problems

“I was driving on the highway. The hood opened up and crashed into the windshield. The hood will not drop back down. I tried to get the door windows down and the power windows were stuck. I braked hard and used the rear view mirror to pull over. I had glass chips all over me and couldn't see anything in front. Once I pulled over I inspected the hood latch and found both latches were rusted and latched open. The horrible designs Toyota has almost killed me and the only reason I was not hit was because of no other cars on the road.”

“Car was being driven in the city of chicago at a slow speed...brakes went to the floor... Avoided hitting another car and pedestrian and then hit a tree near a home. Car was towed by aaa to a aaa service shop.... Marathon- western/toughy who inspected the vehicle and determined both brake lines failed... Rusted through and they see this condition alot with Toyota's of this age as the brake lines are covered up by a plate that traps salt and moisture. Toyota claims contacted and denied any design fault of material defect.. …”
