    The red indicator light in my dash display came on when i started the car and continued while i was driving, so i took it to a mechanic. My alternator needs replacement, which is very disappointing because the car only has 84,000 miles on it and has been very well maintained and serviced regularly. I purchased a new battery about 2 months ago, and the alternator replacement quote from the toyota dealership where my…

    My airbag light turned on in my car. I took it to the dealer and they said that water was leaking from the hvac system onto the airbag control unit and shorting it out. This was because the drain from the hvac system was clogged and condensed water was not draining out onto the ground as designed. Instead, it built up and then leaked onto the airbag control unit. This exact problem was recalled on other model years…

    Both the driver's side and passenger's side lock controls fail to lock and unlock both the driver's side and rear driver's side doors. Occasionally, depending on the temperature and humidity, the rear driver's side door will lock and unlock. It is a similar problem associated with the window/ lock control recall for 2007 and 2009 toyota camrys. It almost seems as though there is a faulty wire connection. This occurs…
