On my 1999 toyota solara I have to use high beams just to see, and my car went 90 mph before slowing up,my handicapped son was so scared! Then it just cut off while driving. He had to coast to safety and now it needs a new motor !! Recalls about these problems pertain to the 1999 solara and are critical. This IS twice life was endangered and toyota IS doing absolutely nothing to help resolve this very serious issue . I guess they wait till someone dies in an accident before toyota does what they should do to keep the public safe!!! My car IS just sitting there , how much does toyota care when they don't even replace the petal or excelleration problem?? let there family member be endangered and see ! But toyota IS slacking extremely on the quality of their vehicles!!! They need to be investigated for the dangerous cars they are putting on the road . And with no help from toyota when a serious issues happens . They should be discrased by their poor performance to jepordize the american citizens .. Just to put more money in their pocket . Now I have no car to take my disabled son to his dr.!!! They have no idea how they effect a persons life who has limited funds and many medical needs. The dangerous situations we were put through driving the toyota car scares me badly! I used to have faith in their product . But it's very sad when they have lost their caring about their product and making the american family happy and more important safety!!!! These dangerous vehicles should be stopped!! Just one vehicle could hit a school bus full of precious children , leaving parents and grandparents and precious brothers and sisters left devastated for years to come!!! the pain goes on and on and effects many generations possibly thousands and thousands of innocent people over the greed of money from the toyota big wigs !!!

The 1999 toyota camry solara had a film that had built up on the drivers side and front passenger side lenses which was difficult to clean. The lenses had been replaced several times but the film continued to impact the visibility of the low beams and high beams. The front passenger side low beam shorted twice and was replaced. The O2 sensor failed and had to be replaced as well. The manufacturer needs to replace the lenses with a more translucent lense for the head lamps to prevent a failure of poor visibility. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000. Dyd

- Power train
While driving at a steady speed, the car (which IS an automatic) went out of gear and slipped into neutral. as soon as I realized what had happened I jiggled the shifter (it was in D2) and the gear seemed to re-engage and I continued driving without any problem. this has happened a half dozen times.
- Air bags
Every time that the passenger seat IS moved forward to allow passengers in or out the air bag light in the vehicle starts blinking. The light will blink for around 15 days before it shuts off if the passenger seat IS not moved forward for passengers during that time. The next time the passenger seat IS moved forward for passengers, the cycle starts over again.
- Air bags · Seat belts
I was at a standstill and rearended by another driver going approximately 50 mph and he did not brake. The seat belt did not engage nor did the airbags. Both cars totaled. Trunk hood popped, also rear panels bent. I sustained a head injury either on windshield or steering wheel . My firm belief IS the seatbelt should have engaged and avoided the head injury. *tr

Car was being driven in the city of chicago at a slow speed...brakes went to the floor... Avoided hitting another car and pedestrian and then hit a tree near a home. car was towed by aaa to a aaa service shop.... Marathon- western/toughy who inspected the vehicle and determined both brake lines failed... Rusted through and they see this condition alot with toyota's of this age as the brake lines are covered up by a plate that traps salt and moisture. toyota claims contacted and denied any design fault of material defect.. Even though it has stainless steel brake lines that this mechanice and shop constantly sees do this exact corrosion problem. I have owned eight toyotas... Never experienced even a brake leak but a full catastrophic failure in this 1999 model IS ridiculous and toyota IS walking away from any responsibility on their part. ntsb should be recall all 1999's solora and camry's ... Force toyota to pay for repairs before more of these accidnets occur... *tr

My daughter was driving into starved rock national park in illinois around 4 p.m. On august 20TH, 2014. She driving on the entrance drive at the speed of 10 mph. the car suddenly started ramping up in speed causing the my daughter to start braking. the car continued gaining speed and the brakes were unable to stop the vehicle. As the car was going faster, my daughter entered the parks visitor center parking lot. while still trying to stop the vehicle, my daughter hit a parked car to the right, just clipping it causing damage to the hit car's taillight. her car hit a car to the left then hit a parked tahoe which stopped my daughters car after being pushed 4 parking spaces. we complained to toyota corp. they inspected the car and said it was mechanically sound. They admitted after further discussion the accelerator cable was frozen. they said this happened from an impact behind the battery, problem IS that there was no impact that could have caused this until the impact of hitting the tahoe. my daughter was fighting to stop from the entrance drive. the toyota rep. Also stated that their inspection team released the cable and said it worked fine. the rep. Could not answer my question regarding the timing of the cable being frozen. they are accusing my daughter of accelerating the vehicle due to fact that it IS a mechanical accelerator, it was the only way this could have happened. another issue IS that the airbags did not deploy. toyota claims due to the fact that the impact was slightly off center of the front that they did not deploy. looking at the damage including the radiator being pushed into the engine, the airbags should have deployed. Toyota feels that our car IS fine and there were no issues with the manufacturing or the design. please help. *tr

Brakes went to floor when depressed... Had to run car into curb and into tree before a car was hit in front of vehicle or parked cars. mechanic noted both brake lines were rusted through causing complete catastrophic failure which apparently happens alot on this age of toyota because of design of covering brake lines trapping in salt and moisture leading to failure. result of accident was to replace both brake lines from to back and body work to repair vehicle so it was drivable. *tr

I was driving on the highway. The hood opened up and crashed into the windshield. The hood will not drop back down. I tried to get the door windows down and the power windows were stuck. I braked hard and used the rear view mirror to pull over. I had glass chips all over me and couldn't see anything in front. Once I pulled over I inspected the hood latch and found both latches were rusted and latched open. The horrible designs toyota has almost killed me and the only reason I was not hit was because of no other cars on the road. *tr

At times when I come to a stop (traffic, stop light, stop sign, etc.) or slow down in my 1999 toyota solara I have trouble accelerating from the idle speed(s). When I press down on the gas pedal to accelerate it sticks. It won't move unless I apply more pressure which causes my car to jerk or "peel out". This situation does not occur at every acceleration but does occur frequently. when this situation happens I do not feel safe. There has been a few occurrences where the roads where wet and I experienced this problem. When my car finally accelerated the tires" spun out" which caused my car to move violently. this incident IS not similar to that of which IS in the toyota gas pedal recall but I urge you to look into this matter to see if it should also be included. *Tr

1999 toyota solara in excellent condition yesterday as I was returning from the grocery store I tried to start my car. The engine turned over but was running erratically. When I tried turning it off to restart it, it would not stop running. It made a staccato sound and ran fast and out of control until it drained the battery and stopped. White smoke poured out and a terrible smell accompanied this. When I had it towed to the mechanic who works on my car, he said he had another toyota that had the same problem. He has replaced the starter motor, and the battery IS holding a charge. I believe that if two cars in this one garage had this problem, it may be more than a coincidence. I am not surprised to have to replace a starter motor, but this was a frightening event and could have been much worse if I were not in a safe neighborhood setting. I have had to replace starter motors in other cars, but I have never had a situation like this one when they have needed replacement.

Since 2007 I have noticed some type of engine difficulty with the toyota. The engine shuts off while running (it IS an automatic transmission.) also, alternator and battery receive too high a charge resulting in computer system overheating. I have replaced both alternator and battery several times, much more than necessary and problem remains with the obd system. This also causes engine to have surges of power while driving affecting cruise control... I don't know if this IS also a problem relative to current toyota issues-online someone has a 2002 solara with same problem. My parents have 01 solara-no problems reported. My old lexus had similar problems my 1989 celica was a great car. Would not own again-would like to sell nut concerned for safety of any future owner(s.) *tr

- 10132055Beginning in 1998, Toyota introduced side airbags as optional equipment. Toyota does NOT recommend replacement of original seat covers with non-Toyota leather or other seat cover materials on vehicles due to the following: Seat covers NOT recommended by Toyota may affect side airbag performance, in general or in part, during an accident. Modifications that negatively affect side airbag performance can result in severe occupant injuries. Seat covers are an integral part of this safety system. Replacing fabric seat covers with non-Toyota leather or other seat cover materials may compromise the effectiveness of this safety system. The design of the seat is complex, integrating safety and strength with comfort and luxury. Toyota strongly discourages modifying original equipment seats that have optional side airbags. Additionally, Toyota strongly advises against the installation or use of aftermarket seat covers, which could impair the performance of the side airbags in the event of an accident.
