If you have the Continental tires on your car she likely was sipping and sliding...they are complete crap...replaced mine at 15K even though they had no treadware...
#2036 of 5279 Tires.... by dekester Feb 06, 2004 (12:14 pm)
Yep, the ContinentaCRAP Tourings are standard on the LE V6. Checking out Tirerack to see what the most popular replacements are from other owners.   May look into the Traction T/As that I';ve been hearing about. Will need to wait until Spring, though.   Deke
#2037 of 5279 SNOW & ICE by hertie Feb 06, 2004 (10:37 pm)
I am looking at both the Solara XLE as well as the Acura TSX. Since I live in upstate NY, I would like to know how they handle through snow and ice. Has anyone driven their 2004 Solara (with traction & stability control) more extensively in winter weather? Thanks for any help that you can give.
#2038 of 5279 How your gas mileage in winter? by canoe2 Feb 07, 2004 (7:28 am)
The V6 is very thirsty in winter (-10 to -20degC). I made 1600 Km on highway with speed 115-120Km/h (with cruise control on). The average gas mileage was about 9.5l/100Km which was 20% higher than Toyota stated. Anyone has the gas mileage number in winter ?
#2039 of 5279 Watch the potholes! by dekester Feb 07, 2004 (11:29 am)
Wife slammed a monster pothole last night blowing out the right front tire and then drove three miles home!   Was very surprised to see the Camry comes with a full-sized spare! I hate the donuts. Went to the tire shop this morning expecting to be told the rim was toast. Rim was fine, just a huge hole in the sidewall. Replaced the tire for a total of $89. Guy said nothing looked damaged suspension-wise but to have the wife stop in on Monday and they'll check the alignment for free.   Asked about replacements for the Continentals and he suggested a Falken tire. Never heard of them; I said I've been hearing about the Traction T/As and he said the Falkens rate high in Consumer Reports. Better wet traction rating.   Ideas?   Deke

Should you dealership replace the tire for free (you only pay % of usage on damage tire)?
#2041 of 5279 How do I program 1996 Camry XLE Key Fob? by jodar96 Feb 07, 2004 (5:16 pm)
I tried the earlier message instruction for 2002-2004 Model and the power lock did not respond.   Any other ideas out there? The car has everything except remote and my guess is that the previous owner just lost it. Now I bought a used remote and trying to figure out how to program it. I put new batteries in the remote and I am ready for suggestions.   Thanks, Joe
#2042 of 5279 strut problem by teacherjim Feb 07, 2004 (8:24 pm)
I am going to put on new struts, but was told I need to know if my 1995 Camry was built in the U.S. or Japan. I was told that the first letter of the VIN tells you. If it's a 1 or a 2 or a J. Well the problem is when I look at my Vin it starts out: 4T1SK12E4....... Can someone tell me where my car was built from this much of the Vin? Thanks---Jim

I don't think that a blowout due to a pothole would be covered under the tire manufacturer's wattanty since it was not a defect of the tire.   We're taking steps to have New York City reimburse us...I know, good luck. They've been pretty good about paying for repairs because the roads are in such crappy shape. Years ago, the pothole would have to have been reported and marked on a repait list before they would pay for repairs when it was hit. They just couldn;t keep up with the crop! From now until about the end of April is pothole season - the constant freeze/thaw cycle.   Has anyone bought Falken tires? Testimonials?   Deke
#2044 of 5279 How do I program 1996 Camry XLE Key Fob? by jodar96 by bronzemaxell Feb 08, 2004 (9:22 am)
jodar96, i was one of the unlucky one that has the remote not responding. mine is a 2003 camry se, and in my further obversation, i found that the remote responds fine in warmer weathers like 50 or 60 degree outside, and wont' respond around or belove freezing. The remotes are original that came with the car. took to dealer 2 times for fix, first time, dealer replaced the battery cell on the remote, and probably they also had the vehicle in a closed door garage with heats on. when i went pickup the vehicle, i asked the service rep if they have fixed it, and they said yes, so i when i tried the remote, it didn't respond, the door lock and unlock by key fine though, outside temp is around freezing 20 degrees. and i asked the service manager to try himself, but he tried with no luck either, and told to bring the vehicle back in 2 days after they have the remote module ordered. The remote works fine now after 2nd visit, all repaired under warranty, no cost.
