1993 Toyota Camry

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES LATER, SHE NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE AND THE DEALER HAS NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DESTROYED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 127,000.

THE DOORS ALWAYS FALL BACK SHUT WHEN OPENED, EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED ON A PERFECTLY FLAT SURFACE. I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH THE DOOR MANY TIMES WHILE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, BECAUSE IT SWINGS BACK CLOSED BEFORE I CAN MOVE. TODAY IT FINALLY BASHED ME ON THE SHIN WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR AND REACHED IN TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE. *NM

I BOUGHT A TOYOTA CAMRY MODEL YEAR 1993 WAY BACK IN 1998. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE SOMEONE HAS JUST TRADED IN THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER HAD NOT LOOK INTO IT AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN CLEAN YET. I BOUGHT IT CAUSE I NEEDED THE CAR SO BADLY AND TOYOTA IS A GOOD CAR AND THE PRICE WAS NOT SO BAD. BUT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, THERE IS A SMELL COMING OUT OF THE HEATER WHICH MAKE ME CHOKE SOMETIMES AND THE ENGINE ALWAYS SMOKING WHEN WE DRIVE A LONG WAY AND STOP. THE SMOKE IS SO SMELLY AND I DID TRY TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER BEFORE TO LET THEN SEE THE PROBLEM. ALL THEY SAY IS THAT MAYBE I SPILLED SOME OIL AND IT IS BURNING, BUT ITS BEEN 5 YEARS AND ITS JUST THE SAME. I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL OF ANYTHING FOR A 1993 TOYOTA CAMRY, ELECTRICAL WIRING OR ANY ENGINE PROBLEM THAT MAKE THE CAR SMOKE SO STRONG. WE HAVE TO STOP ON THE FREEWAY TO STOP THE SMOKING YESTERDAY AS IT IS SO BAD. *JB
