| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 toyota camry. It has about 170,000 miles. I get regular oil changes and check up on the car. While driving my vehicle vsc lights, brakes, and battery light comes on and my power steering goes out. My car engine turns off and i am unable to recrank it. All of my systems are on such as the ac, radio, and lights, however the vehicle is unable to start. This has happened to be twice in 1 week. The first time i got it towed to the dealership and they stated it was just the battery. So after paying over $150 for a diagnostic and oil change, i drove my car away only to get about 5 miles down the road and it happened again. This time, i almost crashed into a car while i was trying to pull my car safely off the road. This led to a second tow truck bill and an irritable call to the dealer. The car is there now and they have no idea what is going on. They are trying to state the car may have water damage to the computer system which seems to be total bs. My car has not been in any type of flood zones. Luckily for the inconvenience they provided me with a rental car because i was left stranded after they assured me that my car was safe to drive. That is the only upside of this, however i am concerned they will come back to me with an astronomical bill for a computer error. Has anyone else had this issue to happen? This is very scary to drive a car and it just cuts off on you. Bad move toyota, bad move! |
