I had an accident on the 22nd of january, 2010. When i exited the freeway, i tried to use the brake, but the car would not stop. It went faster and hit a tree. My car was damaged. Another thing is that i noticed that my rear speaker covers were cracked on both sides. A close look shows that the cover has disintegrated and become weak. When you touch it, it crumbles into little pieces. This is a very unusual thing; i…

I own a 2005 toyota camry that has been maintained timely and properly, driven properly, washed, waxed, and basically treated like a new born baby. My complaint is as follows: i was cleaning the inside of my car and as i dusted off the speaker covers(as i've done for 2 years now), they began to crack and crumble into small pieces. The small pieces fell down into the speakers. I now have holes in my speaker covers…

Rear speaker covers have crumbled and fallen into the speakers. A call to the dealer revealed that the covers cannot be replaced. The entire rear cover must be replaced at a cost of $350+. An online research of this problem revealed many such complaints for this year, with no toyota solution. This is definitely a defect and design flaw to have to replace the entire rear cover. Will pursue situation with toyota corp.…

2005 toyota camry. Rear window speaker grills, both of them. They are cracking and falling apart even though no one has touched them an nothing has been placed on them. I understand this has become a common complaint. Toyota said i would have to replace the whole section for about $500 for parts. (not including labor) but others say the replacement part falls apart too. *tr

The rear speaker covers on my 2005 toyota camry disintegrated. There are hundreds of other 2003-2005 camry owners reporting the same problem. Initially you see cracks on the speaker covers, but when you touch them the plastic literally crumbles into dust and falls into the speaker cone. Toyota is aware of the problem and revised their parts policy; before they only sold complete speaker & cover kit for around $600,…

2005 toyota camry le v6 gradually speed up to about 25 mph. Stop short (you don't have to lock them up, but stop quickly) then accelerate again.

Brought car back to dealer, they are saying it is normal. *nm
