Whoever said cars don't have feelings is wrong. I love my Camry. There's never been any doubt about that. However, lately I've been working on my 65 Mustang every chance I get. So, ever since March, when I got the Stang back from paint, My Camry's been developing a few problems.
A week after the Stang came home, the Camry's rack & pinion developed a very slow leak. Then a few weeks after that, the all the tires start to show VERY uneven wear, because the alignment's suddenly gone bad(pulls a bit to the right), and just 3 days ago...the punch line...the right rear strut blows out, and the left rear strut's on its way out!
Thankfully both front struts are still good. All 4 struts have a liftime warranty, so all I pay is labor. But, I'm still going to be out nearly $800 for the rack & pinion, the rear struts, 4 tires, alignment, and labor.
The Camry is with out a doubt, jealous of the Stang.
I know what you mean. A couple of months ago, I thought of a new car and that same week one of the O2 sensors gave out! I don't know if it's just me, but it seems nearly every gen 3/3.5 camry blows the rear struts, but never blows the fronts
My car developed that issue as well about 2.5 years ago, and the weird part is my car hasn't really seen any passengers in the rear seat and other than the occasional heavy load, I never really hauled anything with my car. As someone put: we own one of the most over-engineered and over-built vehicles of the '90's, especially us V6 owners
