Description of the problem | While driving on a local street my check engine light came on, within seconds there was no fuel (power) to drive. I pressed the gas pedal to the floor but the car would not go more than 5rpm, going less than 5 mph, then car just shut off. This happened in less than 20 seconds. I tried to re-start the car but with no luck. I was able to put the car in neutral and with help push the to local repair shop, they diagnosed it as faultcode p0607 aka "bad ecm". The mechanic called the local toyota dealer and they towed the car to there shop since it was covered under warranty of 8 yrs and/or up to 80,000 miles. However the part was not in stock so i had to wait 2 days. I was out of a car for a total of 3 days and my local repair shopped charged $109. 00 for diagnosed the car. Lucky for me toyota dealer was no charge because it was still under warranty 8 yrs, or 80,000. My car had 71,260, however i am still not happy because i could have been badly injured if i was on a highway and this had happen, or i could have hurt someone else. I am not pleased that i was without a car for 3 days and incurred travel expenses and had to pay my local repair shop $109. 00 which i feel toyota should cover. There should be a recall for this issue as it can be fatal. |
