general problems of the 2002 Toyota Camry

Purchased the Camry from reyes auto group in lakewood, NJ. Took the vehicle back to PA where I live and 2 mechanics showed me the rusted out under carriage of vehicle and stated that it will not pass the PA safety inspection and would cost over $2000 to fix! gas started leaking from tank because of rusted condition.

Took the car to good year change a bunch of parts. Aftet that took the car to get the oil changed. On the 01/27/2016 check engine light is now on the the vehicle. I sent you are report last week as well. I need your intervention. Please stop Toyota from ripping consumer off. It now states that the gas cap is off and or loose. This is not the case.

Defective struts, front end and rear end noise, severe shudder when applying brakes.

2002 Toyota Camry pulls to the left. Have taken vehicle to the dealer twice, both times they told me it was the alignment. After car was realigned it still had the same problem.

Car pulls to the left.

2002 Camry le,50k miles always pulls to left. Has been to dealer and various shops. Steering wheel shudders and vibrates at any and all speeds. Problem is structural. Brakes are constant problem. Sunroof will not seal correctly therefore rear floor is now wet. Now experiencing electrical problems. Would have been better off buying a 1950 studebaker! and gm is in trouble? last Toyota for me. Car is unsafe.

I have 2002 Camry se v6. The car came with brigestone tires that were totally uncontrollable under very little snow conditions. Driving this car on a couple of snow days gave me the scare of my life. I tried to contact the dealer and Toyota many times and did not get any help. I have spend $300. 00 traded my new tires to different tires. The traction of the vehicle greatly improved. I simply can not believe a 'reputed' car company can s. . . Customer like this when they spend $30,000 on a brand new car. The second problem I have is that the car 'wobbles' while driving at all speeds. May complaints to the dealers got the same response: "the road are to be blamed, nothing wrong with the car". Recently I got the wheel balance/alignment done. Not much difference. I drive my other vehicle on the same roads and never feel this way. Driven other cars and not felt like this. This definitely seems some defect in the suspension/wheels or frame. Toyota - you better do something about this or people will just "talk" about these problems and you will have to hear them. Jb.

Consumer stated that while driving at highway speed and without warning the vehicle will pull to the left causing it to be hard for the consumer to control. Dealer notified. Mr.

Vehicle pulls to the left at any speed, more as speed increases. Taken to dealer twice, stated that was how vehicle was designed.

Consumer purchased vehicle and it was experiencing a slight pull to the left. Driving of the vehicle, the slight pull is very pronounced. The degree of pull requires a significant right turn torque on the steering wheel in order to maintain a straight track. Vehicle alighnment was checked and were found to be out of specifications. Vehicle continues to exhibit a strong pull to the left. All attempts to pinpoint the cause has been unsuccessful.

Vehicle pulled to left while driving, the faster it went the more it pulled. Vehicle has been to dealer on three occasions , and they informed consumer nothing could be found, and that was the normal characteristic of vehicle.

Consumer states while driving on highway vehicle wanders from left to right. Mainly at speeds of 65mph and above. Vehicle has been checked by dealer several times with no resolution.

While driving, vehicle does not track right, will drift to left. Consumer stated that at highway speeds driver must make a slight correction in steering wheel to prevent vehicle from drifting left.

Loud mettalic rattling noise occurs at high speed (70+mph), or when driving in windy conditions at slower speeds. Vehicle brought to Toyota service department 3 times. Service department claims they are unable to duplicate the noise. Service department did not drive the vehicle under conditions required to duplicate noise (slower speeds when windy, or higher speeds anytime).

I purchased a 2002 Toyota Camry le v in oct 2002 I started noticing that in Nov 2001 that the vehicle would pull to the left when I was driving on the highway. I aslo noticed that when I am driving the vehicle I can feel every vibration and bump in theroad while holding the steering wheel and through the gas pedal. I have taken the car to the dealer in December 2001 and was told that there was nothing wrong with the car. They took it out for a test drive but did not exceed 40 miles an hour. I have brought the car to the dealer at least two more times and was told that there was nothing wrong with it. In December 2002 I took the car to the same dealer and was told that the car was out of alignment I had the alignment done and the car is no better.

Consumer states that while driving vehicle pulls to the left. Dealer has been contacted.

When the brakes were applied, the steering wheel vibrated.

The vehicle drifts to the left/right at mid to high speeds, and becomes hard to control when the vehicle pulls to the left (the driver must hold the steering wheel tightly to resist the pulling). Both firestone and Toyota suggested that the problem is an unbalanced suspension. Scc.
