1 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2008

The car is a 2000 Camry and it was purchased new. I purchased a one year service policy. After a few years I got a factory recall to replace something in the front end - the struts I believe. It has been satisfactory since then and I have about 71,000 miles on the car. About three months ago when I brake there is a funny noise from the front left wheel. It is not every time I brake however. It does not sound like the brake pad wear out noise but more of a rattling scraping kind of noise. The car brakes ok however. I have had this car serviced without fail on schedule with lubs, tires, balancing, and inspections by the local dealer and nothing was ever found in the left front end. I checked the web and it seems thousands of us Camry drivers have this problem. I recommend Toyota call back these vehicles to correct this problem at no cost to the owners.

2 Front Suspension problem

Consumer had handling problems. Took vehicle to dlr, and dealer said that wheels are making tires wear, causing a safety risk.

3 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2000

The 2000 Camry le with 15" bridgestone potenza tires I purchased new in Aug. Of 2000 vibrates at speeds of 65mph and above. The dealer serviced the car (only 900 miles on it), and said the vibration must be a tire problem and sent me to a tire dealer. The tire dealer said the tires were good but one wheel was out of balance. The road test indicated a small improvement and the Toyota service dept. Said it's not our problem, it's a tire problem; but balanced the wheels on a Jaguar service department's wheel balancing machine. The vibration seems to have improved slightly, and Toyota service has scheduled a Toyota representative to test drive the car in October 2000. It will be helpful if you can inform me of all similar complaints (I found 3 at your website) on this vehicle.
