Manufacturer contacted and refused assistance "in this case." indication from other reports on net and manufacturers' knowledge of problem that this was, indeed, a common problem with that model year and style of camry.

It appears that a good portion of camry and solara (both cars share same platform) owners are experiencing a clunking noise that occurs in the front. What does it take for nhtsa to extend the power of consumers to get toyota to admit to its fault, and take full responsibility? Tsb#: su00299 tsb#: 012199 tsb#: su00100 given that the massive amount of 1997-2001 camry's sold, i am confident that there are many…

Vehicle has an alignment problem, it's taken in approximately every 10,000 miles to be adjusted. Front alignment on passenger's side always goes bad first, then on driver's side. Dealer thinks it's consumers driving, and does not see it as a problem. *ak

Air Conditioner · Front · Linkages
There is a sqeak coming from the front end when i go over small bumps/dips in the road. Toyota recommended the replacement of tie rods, which did absolutely nothing. The noise continues and has increased in severity. The air conditioner smells when using it. It smells like mold. I have taken it to the dealer, but all they do is spray it with frigi-fresh, which only masks the smell for a short while.*ak
