Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2003 camry le, 39,000 miles. the car completely shuts itself down while driving. luckily, this happened in a parking lot of a dealership when we brought the car in for a seemly unrelated issue. should this happen outside, it could be deadly. this should be a recall item given its dangerous failure mode. the car initially had start issue a day earlier. it only started after the hood has been opened for a few minutes. brought the car to the dealership next day. the start issue happened a few more times in the dealers lot. after it finally started, it had a power window failure, followed by the shutting down of the car by itself while the car was physically moving. the dealer could not pin point the problem but suspected the body ecu (engine control unit) because of the power window failure. they replaced an ecu and that solved the problem. *tr |
