| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1. my 1999 se v6 solara began smoking a lot everytime i started the car and when i accelerated. it turned out to be the "sludge" problem and the dealer did all of the required work to fix that. 2. i was in a front end accident in 1999 and the airbags failed to deploy. 3. there is a very loud, for lack of a better word, clunking in the front passenger side wheel area. the dealer says the strut tops are worn out and it will cost $750.00??? per side to replace the struts. the car only has 35,000 miles on it. shouldn't the struts have a longer life than that? 4. the driver side window just fell into the door panel one day and had to have the regulator replaced. 5. about a month ago, if i tried to restart the car when the engine was still warm it wouldn't crank. first there was no noise at all when i turned the key over and if i waited a bit, as it cooled off, it would eventually start. then one day on my way home from work i stopped at the store and when i tried to leave it was dead and wouldn't start at all. i had it towed to the dealer where i had to buy a new battery and have a throttle body service because the was "carbon build up in the injectors". 6. the car shakes like it is going to explode at high speeds and it is not the tires being out of balance or the alignment. it also shimmies badly when i apply the brakes from a high speed. 7. now, i went to have an emission test done and failed because the check engine light is on. the code was for the o2 sensor. my mother has the same car and has had the check engine light problem for the o2 sensor, which she had repaired and within a week the light was back on. i am so tired of one thing after the next with this car. |
