 My wife's 2001 toyota camry has an air conditioner odor. we have been lead to believe that it may be caused by the a/c getting too cold, freezing up, and actually causing mold in the a/c system. she has driven the car for 2 1/2 years and now has cancer. we have been unable to do anything to rid the car of the odor. doesn't exposure to mold, if so, cause health problems? we spent a year trying to locate an odor in the car. replaced mats, detailed the upholstry, etc. *ak

 When the air conditioner is running and i am stopped at a stop light the break pedal will drop approximately 1 inch in about 1 second. this has occurred on numerous occasions since i purchased the vehicle. it is an unsafe condition and somewhat scary. i reported this to the dealer and they said that it is normal. i find this incredibly hard to believe. i asked them for documentation to prove that this behavior is normal but they would not produce anything. *ak

 In addition to the transmission problem, since i bought the car last august, it has been a nightmare for me. at the time of purchase, the molding on the right side of the car was damaged, the dealer promised they would replace it, they never did, they just painted it, two days later the paint came off. the car was also delivered to me without the wheel nut wrench and the jack handle. i discovered it when i got a flat tire on 11/21/01, went to the dealer to claim those parts, the manager in charge refused to cooperate, i contacted the manufacturer who agreed to give me those parts at no cost to me. both the manufacturer and the dealer showed no concern about the safety of myself and my family that i was driving without those critical parts. while taking care of this, to make matters wrost, i discovered that my car, before i bought it on 07/23/01 was in a collision and the dealer never informed me of it. when i contacted both the manufacturer and the dealer, they refused to cooperate. please advise me on how to proceed to handle this malfaisance form this dealership. thank you
