Example complaints

“Although I had timely oil and fluid changes and inspections, the technicians reported I had oil sludge on several occasions. Without notice, in nov, 2002, car suddenly overheated. Symptoms were smoking and leaky radiator. During inspection tech noted: "vehicle has alot of sludge in valve cover/ oil drains slowly & over flows w/filled too fast."”
NHTSA complaint #10070489, filed 2004-01, 70,000 miles“When I went to have my car inspected, the service tech said that it wouldn't pass and asked if I had a local mechanic that I wanted to take it to. I took it too meineke and he said that the pipe going into my converter went and I had to replace the pipe and converter. He said that it was relatively common for my car. I have a 1995 Toyota Camry and it had a little over 29,000 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #10141191, filed 2005-10, 29,223 miles“Problem: my 1995 Camry suddenly accelerated. While attempting to increase speed from 32 to 35 MPH in the third lane during rush hour traffic, my vehicle accelerated as if I had floored the gas pedal (the pedal was minimally depressed.) I immediately stepped on the brakes, then turned off the engine. I put the car in neutral and glided to a stop. After waiting 2 minutes I restarted the vehicle. Without touching the gas pedal the engine reved up past 7,000 RPM. I turned off the car immediatly. I tried pushing the pedal up after waiting 3 minutes. …”
NHTSA complaint #10326165, filed 2010-04, 231,624 miles“Vehicle has not been repaired yet. Service department told me there were bearings in my oil pan. They said that sludge probably plugged up the oil flow. I can\\'t believe a six cylinder Toyota engine should fail at 110,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10069196, filed 2004-01, 110,000 miles“While stopped with foot on brake, the engine vibrates terrible and the steering wheel shakes; the whole car shakes especially bad when in reverse. The previous owner spent a lot of $$ trying to fix this problem. Now, I'm spending $$ trying to fix this problem. I just had a tune up, and I will be replacing the timing belt, fuel pump, fuel filter, pcv valve, distributor cap & rotor, tension spring, idler pully, and who knows what else. I have read over and over again that the Toyota dealer says this is normal, but this is not normal vibration by any means.”
