problem #2

Mar 262007

Camry 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 16,900 miles
I own a 2004 Toyota Camry with only 19,993 miles on it. The steering intermediate shaft was defective. Refer to technical service bulletin ST001-06. I heard clanking and popping sounds coming from the steering shaft. The steering felt loose and sloppy. After reading the technical service bulletin I believed Toyota discovered the faulty part in production and eventually changed to a new part. I was disappointed Toyota charged me for labor to fix a part that was defective from the beginning. Toyota should have recalled the part and replaced it for free.

Car was parked in driveway for 2 days on March 31 and April 1 during a driving rain storm car was not driven for 2 days. On Friday afternoon April 1 at 3:3 pm opened car door and driver's side floor and carpeting was wet from gas pedal under seat to back seat. Toyota said nothing was wrong and I must have driven in high water or parked where my car could flood. First of all car wasn't under water in my driveway, if that was the case, my entire car would be flooded, not just drivers side floorboard, and my house would be under water. Second of all, if I had driven in high water both sides of floor board would be wet. Not just drivers side. On March 30th day before the storm my car came from Toyota shop from getting a steering shaft put in the car. Makes me wonder if they didn't seal something up around the firewall, anyway they are refusing to take responsibility. Something is wrong with this car, is leaking on just the drivers side floorboard. Also bad rattles in B pillars.
