NHTSA Complaint #10543284 — 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY

MY CAR IS 88000 MILES, ITS 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY STANDARD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ONE FINE DAY, WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I GOT AN ENGINE LIGHT CHECK. I COULDN'T STOP ON THE ROAD, SO TOOK AN EXIT AND WHEN I SLOWED DOWN WHILE ON THE EXIT RAMP THE ENGINE STOPPED SUDDENLY. I THOUGH ITS ONE OFF INCIDENT AND START IT AGAIN AND STARTED DRIVING, BUT AT THE NEXT IMMEDIATE SIGNAL LIGHT, I HAD TO STOP FOR THE RED LIGHT AND THE ENGINE STOPPED AGAIN. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST CAR MECHANIC, THEY SAID, IT'S THE ENGINE LOCKED PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WANTED TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND GOT IT TOWED TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, HE TOLD THE SAME, ENGINE LOCKED. IF I WERE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SHOP THEY WOULD TAKE EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO JUST FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY PISSED THAT TOYOTA CAMRY ENGINE WOULD FAIL FOR 88,000 MILES. TR
