She (woman-worker)told me at dmv office redwood city,CA 94063 appointment # b0039, approx window 9 service time2:40pm; that dmv will not change nor update nor to correct records - but the wrongful entry into dmv records makes property owner to suffer with the id cases through law enforcement agencies and other re departments of USA. It affects my personal holdings value and my own financial stability and personal safety - recalls for 2000 are different to recalls of 2001-due to major updates and improvements to the subject car with the approval of judicial court system in 2001 and later. Currently my vehicle is stationed, I am searching for the true answers of the title on my car. How to prove police department and other agencies - police/lot securities that my car has been taking care of and free of any payments. I am afraid for my life due to scrutany of employees of dmv -san mateo county, city of redwood city. By the way my car records are in santa clara county and even some attachments in santa cruz county-state of California.

9 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2007

We purchased a used (about 43,000 miles) 2001 Toyota Camry le ) at the end of June 2006. Every thing works fine since we purchased it. The previous owner is a friend of mine, who always did regular maintenance and oil changes in Toyota dealer and left all maintenance records to me. After we got the car, we had changed brand new tires, new brakes, replaced driver side auto window motor, and also done oil changes regularly. On June 11, 2007, I took my Camry to mechanic to do oil and brake changes. No problem was reported. The total mileage on that car was less than 49,600 miles at that time. On Friday, July 20, 2007, at 11:00 am, my wife drove kids from home to local library for about 7 minutes. After parking in the library parking lot, walking into library, a few minutes later, the librarian announced and asked the owner of Camry with the specific plate number to go to front lobby. However, the librarian did not state the reason. My wife thought she parked well without any violation, so she did not pay too much attention to the first announcement. After librarian's second announcement, my wife felt that the plate number sounded familiar, so she went to front lobby to check out what's happening. When my wife got out to the parking lot, she saw police car and fire truck, and her car was burned out. All of the parts inside the engine cover were all melted. The fire also damaged the right front panel of the car parked next to my Camry. I asked my mechanic to tow my car to his repair shop and checked my car. He told me that this car is not repairable and is totaled. I had contacted Toyota corporate office customer experience center regarding my Camry engine fire since July 23, 2007. The case manager - sandra told me that she would send my case to Toyota's claim department and someone will contact me to investigate my car. However, it had been two weeks since my first contact with Toyota, I had not received phone call from Toyota claim department.

10 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2006

On 5/10/2006 while driving my 2001 Camry solara on a rural road I couldn't slow the car down, braking didn't help. I kept bearing to the right off the road because I was having a hard time controlling the car, car wanted to go towards the cars traveling in the opposite direction. Finally, I was able to get the car off the road, car spun out in gravel that was along the side of the road. Car did at least two full circles than popped some 10 feet where car hit telephone pole on its drivers side door. This was a great impact on my shoulders. At the time all I knew was that the car wouldn't slowdown even when braking. I know now and have for some years that the excelerator stuck on this vehicle. Sure enough not until a couple years after my accident Toyota came out with there excelerator problems. So I just thought it should be known that Toyota had these problems on there 2001 Camry's also because it happened to me. I saved some documention from this accident but I realize it's been some years ago.
