My husband went to open the door of my 1999 Camry and it broke off in his hand. Now it I cannot get in the door if an emergency occurs, I feel unsafe when getting in my car at night, particularly when I have to work late, at a mall or the grocery store. It is going to cost $150 or more to replace this handle. I don't think we should have to do that when I have talked to several Camry owners and they have had the same problem and Toyota has known about this. They need to fix the problem for nothing because I am in danger everytime I have to enter my car. In addition, having to open the door by grasping the metal part and then sticking my hand underneath, can injure my hand. This may not seem like a safety concern to them but it is to me.

Toyota has long ignored safety in favor of show. Our 1999 Camry has a key fob with three buttons, only one working. The problem is that the 'security' system (1) keeps the engine from starting and, (2) more ominously, locks us out of the car. My daughter, with her baby, started the car, stepped out to let it cool in the phoenix summer, and was locked out. Fortunately, I was close and, fortunately, she took her baby out with her. Over the years, I've asked Toyota to fix its security mess. Nothing but mild apologies. This endangerment has plagued me and my family for 10 years. Toyota's recklessness and aloofness should be punished severely and the company must begin to produce nothing but reliable cars that don't endanger its customers.
