Car seems to have slight fuel feed problem - you can feel the car slightly hesitating sometimes when just driving down the road. Every once in a while, when pulling out onto busy boulevard, after you have pulled half way out in the road, the car will not go, even tho you are stepping on the gas. This is very scary, because the other cars are coming at you, and they are expecting you to move on out of the way. The…

On a cold start, the engine sounds rough for about a second or two. Grinding type noise. Completely different from the normal warm-engine start-up sounds. Also, the engine does not sound right for about the first mile or so after a cold start, sort of a whining noise from the front right side of the engine compartment. Clearly audible when lightly revving between 1500-2000 rpms. Although tsb-004-13-a has not yet…

While driving uphill on i80 in pa our engine suddenly lost power. Warning light flashed and buzzer sounded. We were able to move over a lane and then off road. We were lucky. After shutting off power switch, we were able to start and accelerate normally. We noticed that our hybrid 3013 camry was then no longer in eco mode. We then figured out what happened. Reaching into the storage compartment, i accidentally…
