The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for service and the mechanic informed her that the subframe, muffler, the brakes, and the gas tank were extremely corroded. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 206,000.
In January 2008, my 2003 Toyota Camry v6, with 35000 miles on it, developed a squeak in the steering column when the wheel is turned during parking or during any 90 degree turn. The Toyota dealer greased the steering column, and the squeak went away. In January of 2009, the same problem recurred. The dealer wanted to repack the steering column instead of greasing it at a cost of $225. 00, or replace the steering column at a cost of $700. 00. I asked if there was a recall on that particular model for that problem, and the service representative said no. I don't know if there is a safety issue or concern arising from this problem, and is it common among that make and model Toyotas.
