Radiator Hose Problems of Toyota Camry

02 Camry 2. 4l 5 spd: bought the car from a bay area Toyota dealer 2 yrs ago, Aug 2013. Car did have 36k miles on day of purchase and does have 53. 5k on it when engine issue occurred. Used the car as a back up or weekend car. Work car is a 92 Camry 4 cyc with 279k (original motor). Decide to use 02 Camry for work and temp gauge went to hot, check coolant level and it was empty, although 2 days prior to the engine issue, my car's coolant was good. Added water to cooling system and noticed severe leak of water from the back of the engine. Spoke to two mechanics I usually go to and they did not even check the car, they already knew the problem. Decide to call a Toyota tech mechanic I know to check the car, he had informed me of stip head bolts, same issue the other two mechanic had mention to me. Did went to the dealer next day and inform of this issue, they recommend time sert which cost about $4500. They had also told me to call customer care, but I doubt customer care will be able to help me with this issue because I've seen people post online who had contact customer care this issue and did not do anything. Been a die hard Toyota guy, with this issue, been disappointed with Toyota's craftsmanship on the 2. 4l engines. . In fact the Toyota tech I spoke to had mention this is common issue with this engine model and had also informed me the newer engine model, 2. 5l has also a defect, piston ring issue which dealer had been replacing those engine. At this time there is no recall for this strip head bolt. I guess Toyota is waiting for some one to get hurt from this issue before they start act; such as car stalling in the middle of the freeway due to blow head gasket and getting hit by another motorist. I was just lucky enough to see my temperature gauge went to hot and was able to park the car to safety.

Air induction hose on 1998 Toyota Camry le japan built is failing. The air induction hose from the air filter box that leads to the throtle body is cracking. And I have checked into this matter from reading user reviews of this year model car and im the only one who is experencing this issue. The car is still functional how ever it has a very diffucult time starting in the morning.

We purchased a new 2003 Toyota Camry le. After about 6 months or so we began to hear a water sloshing sound under our dashboard. We thought maybe it was because our driveway was at a slope and maybe the position the car was in, the fluids were rushing through the engine. So we parked in the street. The same noise continued when we braked,turned and stopped. After trying to remedy the problem we took our car to the dealership and they test drove the car and said"OH,that's a normal engine sound" I said I don't think so and went to another dealership who said that it sounds like air in the hoses. They bled the system and it worked for a couple of days and then returned. Back to the dealership 5 more times. Finally they threw up their hands and said for us to give them 60 more days to try to figure out the problem which it was now in arbitration. How can they try to figure out the problem if we still had the car in our posession? we continued to drive this car putting on miles not knowing that when they buy back your car they deduct the miles from the cost of which they pay you on the lemon law buyback. So had they kept the car ,knowing they couldn't remedy the problem,our monies would have been more. They are buying our car back and we feel extremely cheated. We bought a new vehicle. Not a Toyota.
