“My car was parked in my driveway. It was a cold december day. I turned on the engine and the defrosters so I could see out the windshield. Later when I started driving the car I noticed there was a long crack directly above the defroster vents that stretched horizontally from one end to the other, matching the location of the vents. So it seems the defroster cracked my windshield. The differential between the warm defroster air and the cold glass. This shouldn't happen. Will Toyota replace my windshield or check my defroster?”
NHTSA complaint #10839287, filed 2016-03, 94,000 miles“My husband was getting on the on ramp to the freeway when there was a loud noise, he thought he blew a tire. When he checked, the short block was cracked. The cylinder had gone through the block. There was absolutely no warning: no oil light, no overheating, no abnormal engine noise, oil was full when checked two weeks prior. Toyota refused to pay total repair costs due to the fact we were only able to produce evidence of two oil changes in 15 months of ownership/24,000 miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #10071221, filed 2004-01, 31,000 miles“I purchased a 2000 Toyota Camry in january of 2001. In june 2002 the rear windows would roll down, but failed to roll up. After 30 minutes or more the window would come up slightly when the switch was activated. After another 30 minutes or more it would come up a little more. This pattern had to be continued until the window was finally up. I discussed this with the dealer and he stated that since I was over the mileage warranty there was nothing he would do. I could buy a new motor for $400 to $500 each window. …”
