Turn signal blinks very rapidly when headlights are turned on. speed returns to normal when the steering wheel is turn. signals operate normally when the headlights are off. i've noticed this on my father's 1998 camry and on another driver's camry (1998-2001 model?- same body style as mine). i'm afraid the signals will stop working, which is especially worrisome in traffic or at night.*ak

I am a little displeased with my 1999 toyota camry. i bought it as a certified used car with 19,300 miles. already, i have shelled out 450.00 for the replacement of the rotors, disc pads, and assembly. the drivers side window had failed before, and i had them replace the whole assembly. the dash lights just failed recently, as well as one of the rear lights burned out in nov. i logged a complaint with toyota cust. service center, but i still feel that this car is a lemon. what new 1999 car with 30,000 miles has had this many failures? please send me any other info that might pertain to this, or any info you hear back. itr would be greatly appreciated. i don't want to be taking my car in for major service every year!!!

Consumer stated brakes would make a grinding sound and pulsate after driving for awhile, vehicle has been to the dealership on several occasions concerning the hydraulic system, the dealer has replaced the front rotors, as well as front and rear brakes, due to them being worn.*jb

Excessive wear of brake pads and front rotors; at 10,000 miles dealer had to replace front rotors and pads. currently, at 21,000 miles, problem reoccurred. problem with headlight not aligned. dealer informed that vehicle met manufacturer's specification and nothing else could be done. also, water pump failure. dealer notified, and repairs being made. *ak consumer states that the transmission fluid is not good and toyota refuses to test the fluids. *slc

Vehicle experiences ongoing problem with headlights unableto adjust properly. left side always appears to be adjusted too far down, more then the right side. vehicle been in/out of dealer shop on five occasions, and nothing can be found wrong. *ak

The front headlights do not illuminate road properly. they have been adjusted by the dealer at least four times. the lights still do not illuminate the road properly and are a safety concern. front suspension shakes aggresively (often at highway speeds) making driving very dangterous. several attempts to correct by dealer. problem still occurs. all four tires wore completely out in less than 12,000 miles. front end pulled strongly to right. dealer tried to corred several times. front end now pulls to the left. rear end "bangs" and "bottoms out" often while at speed. dealer suggested that this safety concern is "typical" of this car. the transmission has failed to hold car while on an incline at least twice. was not able to duplicate for dealer. rear door has never closed properly. dealer has attampted several reapirs. door still "creeks and pops" when opened.

Headlight switch does not alter headlights regardless of position.

Headlights are very dimmed, dealership is aware of problem, consumer feels the lights are too far back. *ak *slc
