Wife was returning from work when 2005 camry decelerated from 50 mph to almost dying. When restarted, car would only drive 20 mph for the 13 mile trip home. Luckily, as the car almost died, the vehicles behind were able to brake and allow her to pull into a driveway. Throttle body was replaced. No "service engine" lights gave any advanced warning to the sudden loss of power. *tr

In 2006, my daughter was driving her 2005 toyota camry on us41 at 45 mph. The engine cut off and stalled while she was driving in light traffic in the center lane. No accident was caused and she safely pulled over to the side and called me. I went there and tried to start the car 2x's. Each time it started, it raced to 4000 rpm and cut out. I waited 15 minutes and started the car again. The computer takes 15 min to…

After towing car to the dealer nearest me, it was diagnosed as the throttle body failure. I wa told it would cost 1,000 to replace it. My car only has 39,000 miles on it. The warranty did not cover…

2005 toyota camry. Car was being driven through town and had stopped at a red light. Light turned green and when accelerator was pressed to turn right car suddenly over accelerated and started to accelerate on it's own even when slamming on the brakes. After a few more seconds the car did decelerate and was able to be stopped. No further occurrences since then. This year model should be included in toyota's recall…

Accelerator stuck and car advanced. Significant damaged avoided by swerving auto to miss house & go through landscaping. Car taken into repair shop next day & nothing found. Contacted toyota & no help at that time. Therefore, no corrective action. Rugs were not an issue. This year & model is not part of the recall but i believe it should be. *tr

Both 02 sensors went out along with fuel sensor with under 2000 miles. Then the catalytic converter went out under 5000 miles. The airbag light are off then on ??? Dealer said working properly? Dealer said it would be fixed 18 days later? They said parts were bad and not the right parts for the car? Car stalls and accelerates. It get 12mpg since 02's and fuel sensors fixed. Bad gas mileage. *jb

Gas pedal sticks and causes vehicle to "lurch" when proceeding from a stop. This is dangerous because it could cause the vehicle to hit the one in front if moving forward from a stop light. Took vehicle to dealer when under warranty- short test drive said "nothing wrong", now obvious something is wrong. The purpose is not to "pile on" toyota, but to bring attention to a safety issue. Thanks *tr

I bought a brand new 2005 toyota camry le, 4 cylinders in july 2005. The fuel economy in the car was approximately 21 to 23 mpg 70% freeway, 30% local. Or 330 miles per 15.5 gallons. I brought it back to toyota dealer for this problem. However, they didn't find any defects. But now, i am still driving the car with only 21 to 23 mpg which was not gas effective. I kept all the receipt of gas for proof. *ak

This 2005 camry xle has a pause when starting from stop or accelerating when attempting to pass. If i come to a complete stop and when i start moving i'll have a short pause and then it'll move on but this pause could be dangerous or just enough time to put me in danger in both cases. I took it to swoop toyota in elizabethtown ky and was told by the mechanic that if i was not the primary driver that the computer…
