On my 1999 Toyota solara I have to use high beams just to see, and my car went 90 mph before slowing up,my handicapped son was so scared! then it just cut off while driving. He had to coast to safety and now it needs a new motor !! recalls about these problems pertain to the 1999 solara and are critical. This is twice life was endangered and Toyota is doing absolutely nothing to help resolve this very serious issue . I guess they wait till someone dies in an accident before Toyota does what they should do to keep the public safe!!! my car is just sitting there , how much does Toyota care when they don't even replace the petal or excelleration problem?? let there family member be endangered and see ! but Toyota is slacking extremely on the quality of their vehicles!!! they need to be investigated for the dangerous cars they are putting on the road . And with no help from Toyota when a serious issues happens . They should be discrased by their poor performance to jepordize the american citizens . . Just to put more money in their pocket . Now I have no car to take my disabled son to his dr. !!! they have no idea how they effect a persons life who has limited funds and many medical needs. The dangerous situations we were put through driving the Toyota car scares me badly! I used to have faith in their product . But it's very sad when they have lost their caring about their product and making the american family happy and more important safety!!!! these dangerous vehicles should be stopped!! just one vehicle could hit a school bus full of precious children , leaving parents and grandparents and precious brothers and sisters left devastated for years to come!!! the pain goes on and on and effects many generations possibly thousands and thousands of innocent people over the greed of money from the Toyota big wigs !!!.

4 Exterior Lighting problem

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. . Even though it has stainless steel brake lines that this mechanice and shop constantly sees do this exact corrosion problem. I have owned eight Toyotas. . . Never experienced even a brake leak but a full catastrophic failure in this 1999 model is ridiculous and Toyota is walking away from any responsibility on their part. Ntsb should be recall all 1999's solora and Camry's . . . Force Toyota to pay for repairs before more of these accidnets occur. . .

5 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2014

The 1999 Toyota Camry solara had a film that had built up on the drivers side and front passenger side lenses which was difficult to clean. The lenses had been replaced several times but the film continued to impact the visibility of the low beams and high beams. The front passenger side low beam shorted twice and was replaced. The O2 sensor failed and had to be replaced as well. The manufacturer needs to replace the lenses with a more translucent lense for the head lamps to prevent a failure of poor visibility. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000. Dyd.
