I AM TOLD THAT THE CAM SEALS ARE A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE DUE TO BACK PRESSURE. ISN'T THE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT DEFECTS? THE CRESSIDA WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE FOR TOYOTA IN 1992 AND THE CAR COST $25,000. WE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER PREVIOUSLY ON OTHER PROBLEMS AND WERE TOLD IN OTHER WORDS - TOO BAD - IT'S YOUR PROBLEM. ISN'T THE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT DEFECTS, EVEN IF THEY HAVEN'T RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT? THIS CAR IS MECHANICALLY A PIECE OF JUNK AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT THE DEFECTS!

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
