TURN SIGNAL BLINKS VERY RAPIDLY WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. SPEED RETURNS TO NORMAL WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURN. SIGNALS OPERATE NORMALLY WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF. I'VE NOTICED THIS ON MY FATHER'S 1998 CAMRY AND ON ANOTHER DRIVER'S CAMRY (1998-2001 MODEL?- SAME BODY STYLE AS MINE).

INTERIOR LIGHTING

I AM A LITTLE DISPLEASED WITH MY 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY. I BOUGHT IT AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 19,300 MILES. ALREADY, I HAVE SHELLED OUT 450.00 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS, DISC PADS, AND ASSEMBLY. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAD FAILED BEFORE, AND I HAD THEM REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. THE DASH LIGHTS JUST FAILED RECENTLY, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE REAR LIGHTS BURNED OUT IN NOV. I LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CUST. SERVICE CENTER, BUT I STILL FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS A LEMON. WHAT NEW 1999 CAR WITH 30,000 MILES HAS HAD THIS MANY FAILURES? PLEASE SEND ME ANY OTHER INFO THAT MIGHT PERTAIN TO THIS, OR ANY INFO YOU HEAR BACK. ITR WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I DON'T WANT TO BE TAKING MY CAR IN FOR MAJOR SERVICE EVERY YEAR!!!
