1999 Toyota Camry Lights Problems

Your 1999 Solara has three serious problems: the headlights are too dim even on high beam, the car unexpectedly accelerated to 90 mph before slowing down, and the engine shut off while driving, forcing your son to coast to safety. The engine now requires replacement. Fixing these issues may involve headlight bulb/circuit inspection, throttle control system diagnostics, and engine repair or replacement.

Your headlights are dimmer than normal while driving, even though there's no warning light on the dashboard. You've already replaced the headlights, but they're still dim. You discovered this issue is related to NHTSA recall campaign 09E025000 for exterior lighting problems. Fixing this may involve inspecting and repairing the headlight wiring, connectors, or the vehicle's charging system to ensure proper power delivery to the lights.

Your headlights produce very dim illumination and are barely visible at night, making it difficult to see the road. This creates a safety concern when driving after dark. The fix may involve replacing the headlight bulbs, checking the electrical connections, or potentially replacing the headlight assemblies if there's a design defect.

Your headlight lenses on both the driver and passenger sides developed a cloudy film that won't clean off and reduces visibility from your low and high beams. The lenses have been replaced multiple times, but the film keeps returning. Your front passenger low beam also shorted out and needed replacement. The manufacturer should use clearer lens material to prevent this recurring visibility problem.

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
