View 30 RepliesCamry :: 2008 Hybrid - Auto Headlight Function Enable / Disable?
I have a 2008 Camry hybrid. It comes with the auto Headlight function where the car will automatic turn the headlight on/off at night and day time. But, but for some reason it doesn't work when I first got the car (pre-owned). I check all the wires/fuse, everything is good, but it just not working. The headlight and on/off switch itself works good. I just wonder if it has an option you can disable/enable it in the console or something else that I should look for?
View 7 RepliesToyota - Camry :: Check Engine Light Came On - Failed Catalytic Converter
I had my local garage do their electronic check when my check engine light came on. They said the code they got indicated a failed catalytic converter and quoted me $720.00 for a California compliant replacement, including labor. I live in Connecticut. I'd like to take a few days to get a second opinion and second quote, but the garage manager said that driving it in this condition would risk fouling the oxygen sensor, which I recently replaced for a couple hundred bucks.
Should I be concerned about fouling the oxygen sensor by continuing to drive the car? 2000 Toyota Camry...
I looked under the car and the rear attachment bolts to the converter are rusted beyond recognition. I'm tempted to try replacing it myself but it may be a bit beyond my skills.
Toyota - Camry :: 2008 - Hybrid Battery Seems To Be Failing
This car was bought new 2008. All is well w/ everything. It's a joy to drive. However, we were told last week, that since the car is 8 years old (or soon to be), we should worry about the hybrid battery failing and should consider a new car. So, that's the question. Repair or replace?

I recently purchased Toyota Camry Hybrid -2008, pre-purchase inspection done by Toyota dealer. Today, my car refuses to turn ignition on (I have keyless start). After several trials, it turned on. I switched off the car and tired after 5 mins. Again it gave the trouble first time, worked second time. What could cause this issue? It's still under hybrid warranty.

I have a 2009 Ford Escape XLT, 4 cyl. and in the summer I had the vehicle in as the speed sensor failed. Since that time I have an ongoing ticking sound (sounds like a diesel vehicle). I had the vehicle into my local dealer and after looking over the vehicle they stated that it was "normal". However, my warranty is up in January 2014 and this sound is horrible. Below is a video of the sound.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Navigation Not Able To Search For Number On Address
I noticed that lately my navi in my 07 GS, hasn't been able to locate the addresses i input. It would say that there's no such address based on the number of the address. If i search up the range of the number (ex. 400-430), then it'll be able to work. When i first purchased the car, it was able to search up the exact address. I was wondering if maybe i might have messed up something that it can't find the exact address anymore. Also, the places i searched up, they're not newly built so it should've been in the navi maps.
View 10 RepliesMercury - Sable :: 1997 - Search Engine Soon Light Won't Goes Off?
Recently purchased a 1997 Mercury Sable and all because my Camry after 13 years finally gave up the ghost. "SES" light came on, and I filled up with gas and used Lucas car product as well. The light went off 2 days later. 5 days later, it came back on. Purchased CRC spray and cleaned the air mass flow component. Light goes off. A week later and it's back on again. I figure an 02 sensor needs replacing. Took car to the mechanic that sold me the car and their diagnostic test stated 1 sensor in bank 1 and another sensor in bank 2. Okay, fine. ordered only 1 sensor and told me that it was the "most imporant" sensor as it relayed to the catalyst. fixed it and no more than 7 miles up the road, YES, it came back on. Unhooked the battery cable, light off all day until about 30 minutes ago. Pulled into an Advance Auto Parts store. Diagnostic test showed the 2 errors that the mechanic YESTERDAY was getting before he "fixed the problem."
View 19 RepliesToyota - Sienna :: Glove Box Locking / Closing Mechanism Doesn't Function Right
We have a 2009 Sienna, and the glove box locking/closing mechanism doesn't function right. When you close (not lock) the glove box, it sticks shut. Taking out the mechanism (pops out pretty easily), it appears to be a design flaw where the "doohickey" (technical term) that engages is too small and if it gets a bit misaligned, can't engage the part inside the dash to release the door/flap. However, we can't build up the doohickey, because there barely enough clearance for the rest of the mechanism....

My wife was driving my 04 camry today when the serpentine belt broke (I knew I should have replaced it but was too lazy). She nursed it the 10 minutes it took to get home and the power steering failed along the way.Under the hood it looks like power steering got all over but I'm not sure how. Other than replacing the serpentine tomorrow what else should I look into?

View 3 RepliesToyota - Avalon :: Memory Seat Function Remember Back Position (angle)?
Does the memory seat function remembers the back position (angle)? Or does it just remember the height and forward/backward position of the seat? The back angle position is not remembered in my 2014 Avalon Limited but I am not sure whether I should report this as a problem or whether that is just the design.
View 2 RepliesGen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Multi-Function Display (MFD) Only Shows Toyota Logo
My MFD now only shows the Toyota Logo, whatever I do. Also, I cannot play music. The trick with pressing (hold) INFO and headlights three times does not bring up a diagnostic screen. My theory is that the MFD is waiting for some signal over the network before showing the usual screen (and it never gets that signal). Some years ago, I had a third party fit a new audio tuner and player (non-Toyota), and that worked more or less fine for years.
They had to leave the old faulty Toyota audio in the circuit to make it all work, and they said to leave the graphic equaliser on even settings, and then forget it. The old Toyota audio CD changer had failed, but the rest was OK. My 'guess' is that they had to leave the old audio device connected because it terminates the AVC-LAN with a 60 ohm resistor. Maybe that connection came off, and now the LAN signals are not good, and the MFD is locked up 'always waiting' for the signal from an ECU.
Toyota - Prius :: 2010 - Failed To Stop When Brakes Applied On A Steep Downhill In Slight Rain?
Why my 2010 Prius has 3 times now failed to stop when brakes were applied on a steep downhill in slight rain? Happened a year apart with no slick road and with tires both new and old. I pull up to a stop sign on a grade, apply brakes, the car slows, then there are metallic noises and the car glides 3-4 feet before stopping. I'm lucky no car or person was in front of me. Honestly not a skid at all. Service tells me I don't know about anti-lock brakes but I've driven with them on cars for many years with nothing like this.
View 2 RepliesCamry :: 2005 - Evaporator And Catalytic Converter Failed
I just took my 2005 Camry to get smogged and it failed. The reading said that my evaporator and my catalytic converter failed. I reset and drove her for almost 200 miles to get the reading settled, but that did not work. I checked all my fuses and the smog-guy and I have no clue what the issue could be. I don't think that the catalytic converter needs replacing since she only has 60,000 miles on her, but what could be the problem that it keeps saying 'fail'.

Camry :: Airbag Light Function For Passenger Seat
Quick question about the air bag light function for the passenger seat. When no one is sitting in the seat it does not display "on" or "off" by the clock. When I sit in the seat it displays "on" Shouldn't the light always display "off" if no one or someone too light is sitting in the seat? Is this normal, or is there something wrong with the sensors in the seat?
