| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Poor design and build - 1997 toyota camry le (4 cylinder). i own a 1997 4-cylinder camry le. it is well maintained and has less than 80,000 miles. a few months ago, its starter went bad and was replaced. this morning, the dealer found that its engine valve seals worn out and must be replaced (over $1000 repair). i checked the internet car forums and found that this is a common problem with 1997 model year 4-cylinder toyota camry. i believe that it is a poor design and build problem. customers should not be paying a problem caused by the manufacturer's poor design and build. all 1997 4-cylinder camry should be recalled and repaired by toyota. *nlm |
