What owners wrote
On aug 10, 2004 my sister was driving her 1999 toyota camry when it inexplicably drove off the w. Bound lanes of il I '74' at mi marker 115. It traveled 921 ft crossing the median, I '74' e. Bound lanes, up a hill, eventually striking a tree where the car became engulfed in flames, burning my sister to death. A witness statement by a semi truck driver stated that he saw sparks coming from the undercarriage. I attended the coroner's inquest where the factual matters were presented including a toxicology report.
This car is definetly a lemon ive put more money into than the car is worth and still doesnt work the dealer rock chevrolet knew of issues with this car but still sold it tried to have it fixed thru them but they were rude and wouldnt do it.
