#1, ...Toyota "quality" actually... this EXACT SAME THING has happened to my sister's '95 Camry, and to her friend's '96 Camry. Driver's side, the handle just *broke*.

#4, I'm actually surprised to see this... seeing three Toyota products with the SAME EXACT PROBLEM is kinda freaky, considering they ARE supposed to be "high quality cars"...

#6, Even though my car looks like shit, and IS shit, I treat it very carefully...I'm never rough with it, always careful... I HAVE had the inside-door-armrest fall off though, but, a few screws and some duct tape, it's good as beater new!

#7, well being ruff on it didn't cause it. the inside is just a pin that connects the handle to the rod will fall out. the out is just poor build quality. MX6s have the same problem

my door handle on the inside got disconnected shortly after I bought it, easy enough fix

#11, Uhhh....

I may have said this before, but I'll say it again. I am not a gear head. I don't pretend to be. I know about cars, I love cars, I feel my taste in cars is very good... but the mechanical aspect of cars... >_<
I know nothing....all I know is what works and what doesn't, what advantages some things have over others. I have never been mechanically inclined, NEVER. In Autoshop in high school, I just wandered around, watching everyone else do stuff, the only way I passed was by studying for the book tests a LOT.

I don't know how to do stuff like BONDO or anything... I can change oil, I can change a serpentine belt, I can do a lot of minor stuff if I have the proper tools (which I don't down here in Florida), and a manual that I can follow step-by-step....other than that, I'm clueless.

#13, I should also add that I am in awe of most of the members here that do work on their own cars themselves... I wish I was mechanically inclined... I'm just, NOT. It's not like I haven't had the chance, those two years in high school autoshop, I just never got it. My dad is a total gearhead, but I never really "fit in" when me and him were doing stuff to his cars...

#15, See, I had all the opportunities to do stuff like that, but with me it never clicked...

Interestingly enough, my sister is MUCH more mechanically inclined than me. She was the one that set up all the A/V HiFi etc. crap in our house. She's now living with my dad, and is having a ball redoing the brake system on my dad's '81 Corvette with my dad... and some other stuff.

(P.S. What happened to the Cavvy? My dad and step-mom separated pretty much right after I moved back to Florida, and my step-mom took the Cavvy. My sister is currently driving the '97 LHS as her daily-driver, my dad is still enjoying driving his '01 Cabrio)

I love cars and consider myself to be mechanically inclined (just inexperienced. I'm still clueless about transmissions), but my problem is that I never have the opportunity to work on cars. Apart from the engine swap in my old Peugeot, the biggest thing I ever did was change an alternator. :P

most of the time I can figure out what's likely the problem if I just think about it
