| Description of the problem | My car has experienced two electrical problems within the past 2 years. I own a 2006 toyota camry. Bought in sept 2005. Dec 2008 the battery died and my local garage traced it to the alarm- they disconnected the module. Aaa replaced the battery. Nov 15, -2010-, battery died again and the car was towed to my local station. They located another draw on battery but could not repair it and sent it to balise in warwick ri. I had purchased it there. After 2-3 days on their computer, they located it in the instrument cluster in the odometer. The car has no serious recalls on it and i note that though 2005, 2007-2010 have been recalled the 2006 has not. I wish to report this so it is on record in the event there is a recall. The car has 25,000 miles on it and the repair this time will cost about $1100. I have been without a car for 7 days as balise had to order the part last friday nov. 19th. It will arrive, hopefully, mon nov 22nd. |
