02 Camry XLE Japanese Built in Aug 2001

84,xxx kms

Problems:
1) all 3 brake lights have been replaced (left, right and CHMSL)
2) A/C wire replaced (no A/C for this past summer)
3) Heated Passenger Seat Light blew (twice)
4) squeak somewhere in the rear parcel shelf (me thinks it's the rear sunshade)
5) internal "cuts" in the leather on the front passenger seat facing the rear (dunno how to explain but it's some sort of ridge underneath the leather)
6) had the TSB for the washer done (around 1st service)
7) moonroof squeak within 16,000kms. Got it fixed
8) driver's seatbelt buckle receiver rattle. Eventually got fixed.

Wow, come to think of it, I didn't realise there were so many problems =S.
