| Description of the problem | Throttle body failure on a 2004 toyota camry, four cylinder automatic with about 62,000 miles. Engine shutsdown when foot lifted from accelerator, power steering and power brakes did not work. Very dangerous situation since steering and braking both became very difficult in traffic. There was no indication that failure was imminent. Had to have car towed to dealer. Very expensive repair. Reportedly (on internet web sites) this is happening with many toyota camry's ,manufactured from 2002 to 2006. Dealer said they were able to get the last throttle body available in houston which might indicate the problem is widespread. |
