Camry started to let me down! - Toyota Camry, 3.0L, 2002

I have been the owner for 2 years, but for some reason this has not happened before. For 3 months, I shook it 2 times.

1. It was at the cemetery (a friend was hit by a car - was at a funeral). There was a slope and it was raining. And only the front wheels hit a little dirt Camry immediately pulled down the slope ... I thought that if I get to the grass, I can drive on it without any problems ...

It turned out all wrong ... the front wheels hit the grass and I sat down ... the grass was wet and I could not even imagine that the wheels would simply trail on it as if on ice and burrow down ... I tried to swing it on the machine - no way. I didn’t use a lower one either ... I went to get some firewood, they are all wet and the wheel doesn’t even spin them.

In general, I called the guys. The second bogged down beha 318 ... with its rear wheel drive. But the GS AWD turned out to be more adaptable. They kicked me out. Behu pulled out the GS.

2. The second incident happened not somewhere out there in exclusive places, in an ordinary Moscow courtyard. I drove my mistress home, and it so happened that the road to her entrance was closed due to the repair of trolleybus wires and I had to look for a detour ...
There was a hole in the asphalt with a strip along the entire width of the road ... snow fell and the cars got a little morning in it ... In general, the front wheels hit first and let's train (I have thorns) and the hole was nonsense. I was tormented to free the front wheels ... And it worked ... but now I got out before, and the back got into the same hole and the front ones again trail and the engine limits the speed ... I got out of course myself, but the impression of course remained bad ...

Does it fail ?!
But what do you say if the satellite axle crumbled in the automatic box and the car was taking another 20 km slowly to the house?
What is it called? :) It doesn't let me down. It can rumble (the collar of the rear stub bushing has rusted off), twitch (the breather tube is not native), the rear wheel is punctured (and determined only by the sound of rustling, then it would have reached the sea), a collapsed denso candle (after refueling 98 at Gazprom) ... Why not! And slept in it at minus 20 all night. And how much he lay under it;)) And it goes ... And it goes ...
The only thing that is sad about it is age ...
And I really like it in sotalny!
PS: especially when comparing with the 10th new one that I had for 4 years - I'm ready to suffer with it for at least 5 more years!
