| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2008 toyota camry hybrid on a multi lane highway at about 60 mph, when the car jerked, all indicator lights came on and the engine became completely unresponsive. I pushed the accelerator pedal to try to maneuver to the shoulder and there was no response (no engine rev., no acceleration). I managed to get the car to the shoulder and upon restart, the car drove hesitantly. I made it to a toyota dealership that night with all indicator lights still lit up. The next day as they began to look at the car, they could find no stored computer code for the problem and upon driving the car, it drove normally. As a result, they could not figure out the problem and have fixed nothing. A toyota service tech also looked at the car with the same result. I now am being forced to pick up my car unrepaired. As i listened to the news last evening (march 18, 2010), they reported on a problem with the evm module in toyota corolla's. This problem sounds very similar. |
