Problems with 2000 Toyota Camry VISIBILITY

Stones not cleared from paving crew. on i -95 driving north toward columbus blvd exit.. *tr

My 2000 toyota camry 4 door sedan was parked in a nature park parking lot at 4:30 p.m. with the driver's side windows facing the sun, west. within thirty minutes, the two windows shattered to pieces. police were called, nothing taken or disturbed inside vehicle. police determined no foul play and windows shattered due to heat/defects. police agency is broward county sheriff's office, broward county, florida, dania beach branch, officer demerritte #11724, report number dn08-07-01142. glass debris cleaned up and windows replaced at owner's expense on july 14, 2008 at expse for both windows of $365 including tinting, by alpha window and glass 3201 ne 2nd ave. oakland park, florida. alpha personnel said they receive a lot of toyota heat breakage window work. *tr

The rear top corners of both front door windows are chipping and starting to crack. this has occurred in the past month. there has been no accidents or damage done to the vehicle. *tr

The windows in my car do not work. the pumps need to be replaced. the front passenger door will not unlock with my alarm pad. the windshield wipers do not function properly. this is my second toyota and the electrical system went bad in the last one i had also. my transmission had to be replaced and now my car squeaks when i am driving. it squeaks loudly. i would have submitted this before but i did not know about this website. *nm

Intermittently with increasing frequency left front door window will not close after being opened - most inconvenient during rain and at the car wash. *ak

My husband was getting on the on ramp to the freeway when there was a loud noise, he thought he blew a tire. when he checked, the short block was cracked. the cylinder had gone through the block. there was absolutely no warning: no oil light, no overheating, no abnormal engine noise, oil was full when checked two weeks prior. toyota refused to pay total repair costs due to the fact we were only able to produce evidence of two oil changes in 15 months of ownership/24,000 miles. we bought the car at 21.5k miles, dealer changed oil at 31k miles in dec 02, one oil receipt i could find was dated june '03, car was due for another change. i took pictures of the engine today and received a requested oil sample. the pictures show sludge on the pistons, a cracked piston and a severely cracked short block. mechanic says one of the rods is bent, also. i could not see any deformity in the rods, but have a picture of all four rods.

Driver's side window shattered in pieces, cause unknown.please provide any further information.*ak

while putting power operated driver side window it exploded in consuemer's face, causing minor injuries to consumer. contacted dealer ,and the dealer was not willing to do anything.*ak

I purchased a 2000 toyota camry in january of 2001. in june 2002 the rear windows would roll down, but failed to roll up. after 30 minutes or more the window would come up slightly when the switch was activated. after another 30 minutes or more it would come up a little more. this pattern had to be continued until the window was finally up. i discussed this with the dealer and he stated that since i was over the mileage warranty there was nothing he would do. i could buy a new motor for $400 to $500 each window. with children in the car the window get activated offen and the vehicle also get rain inside the car because the window could not be raised. i believe after only 18 months of owner ship i should be able to expect the windows to operate properly.*ak

Team toyota was very unresponsive; alleged owner neglect. oil light came on and immediately slung a rod, no notice nothing. they told me is was sludge although it didn't take them long to make that determination. they couldn't have checked very far because the mechanic that replaced the motot (not a toyota mechanic) said there was little to no sludge there. i received a letter from toyota discussing oil gelling this month (july 2002). maybe they've been having too many owner neglect cases with blown motors!*ak

Blower motor for the ventilation got debris caught. this can shut the motor off. it started making loud vibration noise from a 1/2 inch leaf. manufacturer said they would only take care of it if it was a faulty part.*ak

There's an area on rear window that does not clear when defroster is on. this affects vision from this space. this problem almost caused an accident. please provide any further information.*ak
