Both my 96 and 97 have a problem with the alar. The 97 i took in to dealer. They said they couldnt find anything. Now the alarm doesnt work at all.the 97 keeps beeping the horn. When i turn car off parking brake stays on. Then battery is dead.

Do you drive a 1997 TOYOTA CAMRY?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
