Engine Grinding Noise Problems of Toyota Camry

While driving, on braking, the vehicle started making a grinding/rubbing noise appearing to come from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The noise seemed as if the vehicle engine/motor was going to seize up or something would break inside. Slowly took it to a local tire kingdom repair shop who would not do anything once they started the vehicle and were alarmed by the engine noise. Advised to take it to an engine repair shop. Slowly, cautiously drove home and parked. On starting the vehicle in the garage, next day, the engine seems to run fine on parked and neutral. On shifting to drive or reverse the rubbing/grinding noise begins again. Have been restrained to sitting at home instead of doing my ride sharing and delivery work. Recently had the timing chain and cam shaft gear replaced.

I was driving on a city street at about 35mph when rough, somewhat grinding noises came from under the right side of the car hood of the 2005 Toyota Camry. These noises continued for about 15 minutes while I was driving. I stopped at a red light. When I had the right-of-way and attempted to proceed, I found I could not turn the steering wheel. I thought the car was inoperable but when I exerted great effort, the wheel did turn. Fortunately, I was able to turn a corner and move into a public parking lot. Again with great steering difficulty and noise from below the car hood, I drove the car about a quarter of a mile to my home and the car was towed to a service center.

The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Camry. While driving 2 mph, she heard a grinding noise then the vehicle shut off without warning. The dealer stated that engine mounting bolts sheered off into the engine block, which caused the corner of the engine to crack. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. As of June 6, 2008, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were 92,000. The VIN was unavailable.

I purchased the 2003 Toyota Camry in September 2005. While I love my car I do have some concerns after hearing the other complaints. I hear sloshing sound under the dash. It is really loud when braking, accelerating, or parking. I asked the dealer about it several times, and was told it was normal for your car. Also , hear a squeaky, grinding sound when turning the steering wheel to either side. This happens every time I turn the wheel, no matter hot or cold weather. The delaership could not find anything wrong with it the first time I took it them. They kept it 2 days, and said nothign was wrong. It continued for antoher week, and I returned with it to the dealership, and they kept it overnight and called me the next day, and told me they did not have time to look at it, but they were sure nothing was wrong with it. They will not return any phone calls or even talk to me when I go there. The las thing, was the paint continually chipping and peeling of in chunks on the hood, front bumper, and rear bumper. I have spoken to Toyota about this several times, and they continued to say it was not their fault, and my car was not under warranty. So they could not do anything. This all started about 3 weeks after I bought the car and continued today. Please advis me if therewas anything I could do to fix any of these problems. Thanks. Ak.
