I answered this already in "problems and solutions." Access is behind the glove compartment, at least in 2002-06 Camry sedans. See your owner's manual. Read More...

It's behind the glove compartment in the 2002-06 Camry sedan. I assume it'll be in the same place in the 2000 Solara. See you owner's manual for how to get to it. It is an easy procedure. Read More...

Re: SUV's, Steering [pbc]

Written by: jaiross on Jun 02, 2005 07:35 AM

I must admit I haven't read earlier threads re: the Solara BUT looking at this one gives me flashbacks of the reason i traded my beautiful red 1999 Solara so soon (2003 I purchased a camry). I had to replace all 4 tires on my Solara at 30,000 miles because of the unusual wear on the tread. I had my tires rotated a couple of times before that and each time I was told I probably ...

Toyota Camry: Problems & Solutions

Is this a problem with ALL V6 Toyotas?

Written by: coastdriver on Feb 24, 2005 00:31 AM

Do other Toyota models (with the V6 engine) have the same transmission/hesitation problem as the SE Camry? Highlander? Sienna? Solara? Tacoma truck? WHY WAS THIS ANNOYING PROBLEM NEVER MENTIONED BY ALL THE AUTO MAGAZINE WRITERS? HOW COULD THEY NOT FEEL IT?! I am already thinking about trading my '05 Camry. Or maybe I will wait, and see if Toyota can get this defect ... Read More...

Engine Sludge

Written by: scoti1 on May 11, 2004 09:11 AM

Unfortunately, the engines are still sludging, just haven't read about it a lot on Edmunds. It is the 1997 - 2002 models covered under the sludge policy, but I have read reports of a couple 2003's recently. Can't recall which Toyota model, tho, as this covers the Camry, Avalon, Solara, Sienna, Highlander, Celica and the Lexus RX300/ES300 Read More...

Toyota Camry Solara Prices Paid and Buying Experience

New Old Car

Written by: badjura on Jan 11, 2004 07:55 PM

Bought my new 2002 Solara SE 2.4 in the summer of 2003 and paid CAD $26275 - List was $28175 and $1025 freight /PDI for a total of $29200. Toyota has a program in Canada (Access Toyota) like Saturn does - they tell you what to pay and you accept it, or you don't get it. Couple of months earlier I watched a guy $29200 for a 2003 which is the exact same car but a year later. Easist ... Read More...

2004 Toyota Solara

Recall

Written by: cooldad24 on Oct 31, 2003 04:04 PM

What do you mean all related to year 2000 model? Some recall is for 1997, some for 1998, 199,2000, 2001 and 2002. Also only 3 recalls I can identified associated with Solara and some are with Camry/Avalon. I can't confirm does all the problem associate with Camry only or cross all the models. We need to be carefully verify these issues. Or it will be like link one most ... Read More...

Oil changes...

Written by: japsmkbtrcars on Mar 11, 2003 09:00 AM

About 3 percent of Toyotas engines in Camry, Solara, Lexus RS300, Sienna and a few other models had a problem with sludge when following the maintenance outlined in the manual, so stick to the 3,000 mile oil change, although, Toyota motor Corp should have notified you of their Special Policy Adjustment, 8 years from date of purchase, unlimited milage if the owner ...

I think

Written by: i_luv_toyota on Jan 10, 2003 01:17 PM

The Camry sedan alone is #1 in sales over both the Accord sedan and coupe. Camry was 2002's top selling car, but I don't recall the difference in sales between it and the Accord. I think the Solara's sales would just add to the Camry's lead over the Accord. Read More...
