My 2008 Camry le has 35,000 miles on it. The coolant level has always been maintained. I am the original owner. The water pump bearings failed so that the pump made grinding noises, the drive shaft was wobbling, and the pump was leaking coolant. The noises began abruptly while the vehicle was being driven (6/16/18). I took the car to a shop (6/20/18) and replaced the pump, making sure the shop put in longlife coolant and replaced all the old coolant. A check of complaints against Toyota water pump complaints reveals that premature failures are a common problem in Camrys between 2007 and 2009. Toyota does not want to accept responsibility for replacing the pumps. I kept the old water pump, serpentine belt, and shop invoice. I would like my costs reimbursed.
My engine mounts were broken -all of them. Thought the engine was idling rough, but the engine was moving around within the car and "could have fallen out" is what I understood the mechanic to say. I previously reported very premature failure of brakes, broken water pump, belts, and more. Now the engine mounts. I do not drive fast, and I drive smooth highways, not our locally bad streets. No reason the mounts should all be broken. There should be a recall on engine mounts and water pumps at the very least.
2008 Toyota solara. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle water pump leak. The consumer stated the vehicle began having problems, so she immediately pulled over and called road side assistance. The next the vehicle was towed to the dealership. A day later, the consumer was informed the engine overheated, because there was a leak coming from the water pump.
I was driving my Toyota Camry home from work, when my engine starting smoking and all the engine light came on. I had it towed to a dealership to be checked out and was told that my water pump had froze up, causing my motor and everything under the hood to be burn up. My heat indicator light didn't not come on at anytime. If I had known there was a problem with the pump would have had the car checked out. I was told my Toyota that it was not their problem.
My brakes needed replacing at approx. 40-44k miles. My belts/water pump broke/cracked at approx 50k miles. The mechanic said the water pump, if it ever broke at all, shouldn't break till min. 100k miles. I am about to take the Camry to a mechanic to check engine racing and grinding front passenger side window motor. This car has been a money pit with awful visibility. I've spent many thousands on this car before it reach 50k miles.
