1991 TOYOTA CAMRY

Original equipment radio failed to operate and dome light and other electrical components are not functioning. Dealer has no parts to repair the safety recall which are to be supplied by Toyota .

THE DRIVERS SIDE SHOULDER HARNESS HAS FROZE IN THE LOCKED POSITION. TRIED TO REPAIR AND FOUND OUT NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO REPAIR AND NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED A TICKET AND ELECTED TO MANUALLY SLIP IT OVER MY EACH TIME.. THIS REALLY SUCKS BECAUSE IT IS A LOW MILE WELL CARED FOR CAR. TOYOTA SHOULD HELP....GOOD LUCK WITH THAT..............

SHORTLY AFTER INSTALLING A SPECTRA PREMIUM REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK ON MY 1991 CAMRY, THE VENT TUBE LEAKED FUEL AND VAPORS DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE JOINT WHERE THE VAPOR TUBE IS SOLDERED TO THE TANK. A HAIRLINE CRACK AT THIS JOINT WAS EITHER PRESENT AT MANUFACTURE, OR DEVELOPED SOON AFTER INSTALL, THROUGH WHICH SIGNIFICANT VAPOROUS AND LIQUID GASOLINE ESCAPED. THIS IS A FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD AS WELL AS A HEALTH AND AIR POLLUTION HAZARD. I CALLED SPECTRA PREMIUM TO ALERT THEM TO THIS AND THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST ME AND DID NOT RETURN PHONE CALLS AND MESSAGES. THE COMPANY BASICALLY JUST BLEW ME OFF AND SEEMS TO CARE LESS ABOUT A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. I HAD TO USE TWO PART EPOXY TO SEAL THE HAIRLINE CRACK AS AN INTERIM FIX. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING TOWARD KOKOMO, INDIANA, RETURNING HOME FROM A DR'S APPOINTMENT WITH MY SERVICE DOG, GAMSBY. THERE WAS A HARLEY_DAVIDSON TRAILER TRUCK WITH A MICHIGAN LICENSE PLATE IN FRONT OF ME. A LARGE METAL L SHAPED BAR FLEW FROM UNDER THE TRAILER AND UNDER MY CAR, SENDING IT INTO A SPIN AND TEARING UP THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. MY CAR IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL FOR TRIPS OUT OF TOWN. I TRIED TO TALK WITH THE HARLEY DAVIDSON COMPANY AND THEY CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY. I AM A COLLEGE TEACHER, DISABLED AND BOTH ME AND MY SEIZURE DOG WERE INJURED. HARLEY-DAVIDSON'S CORPORATE OFFICE BRUSHED US OFF LIKE DIRT. IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO SURVIVE WITH MEDICAL BILLS AND LITTLE INCOME. NOW MY DOG IS HAVING SEIZURES (PROBABLY DUE TO HIS HEAD HITTING THE DASH IN THE CRASH) AND DO NOT HAVE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE. I KNOW LIFE IS NOT FAIR, BUT IN THIS CASE I THINK THE LARGER COMPANY FEELS THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW. *TR
