2002 Camry xle V6...at 138,000 miles while waiting at a traffic signal during rush hour the engine stalls and after 4 attempts finally restarts. The car continued to not idle the rest of my trip home - stalling every time I slowed down to stop or turn a corner...very unsafe...didn't trust the car to make it to mechanic. Car was towed, mechanic could find nothing wrong. It happened again 3 more times within a week. Same scenario, towed to mechanic, found nothing wrong because the check engine light does not come on and therefore the computer does not register any issues. Mechanic cleaned all sensors, idle valve, dealership and independent mechanic find nothing wrong. Car was fine until July 4, weekend and did the same thing twice again. Mechanic finds nothing because it so random. Same situation in November while turning car stalled because it would not idle, lost power steering and brakes and almost hit another car while turning. 3 mechanics and no one can find anything wrong. Have also experienced the issues mentioned with brakes and rotors which have been replaced 3 times.

2002 Toyota V6 SE; front brake discs caused severe steering wheel shaking when slowing from 40 to 35 mph. Dealer originally replaced all front brake system at about 15000 miles under a Toyota bulletin. At 60,000 miles began to have same problem which became uncontrollable at about 75,000 miles. Out of warranty, so owner replaced front rotors and problem seems to be corrected.... no Toyota recall.....

2002 Camry le,50K miles always pulls to left. Has been to dealer and various shops. Steering wheel shudders and vibrates at any and all speeds. Problem is structural. Brakes are constant problem. Sunroof will not seal correctly therefore rear floor is now wet. Now experiencing electrical problems. Would have been better off buying a 1950 studebaker! and GM is in trouble? last Toyota for me. Car is unsafe.

I was driving my wife's 2002 Camry SE V6. Traveling at approximately 45-50 mph applied brakes to make a right turn at traffic light (light was red) and brakes continued to travel to floor without stopping vehicle. I quickly released brake pedal and pumped brake. Car then slowed but I had to make a very aggressive tire squealing right turn. If I did not think to pump brake I don't feel that car would have slowed at all. If I was not making a right turn, by the time the brakes activated the vehicle would have entered or passed the intersection before coming to a complete stop. This happened at approx. 5:30 am. I took vehicle to Toyota dealership at 8 am the same morning. The dealership said they "could not duplicate concern".

1. the vehicle in the front made a sudden stop at the traffic light. 2. brakes failed to stop at a safe distance from the car in the front as they were too soft. 3. brakes and assembly was checked and nothing was changed as they are as per the standards.

I have a 2002 Toyota Camry - every year I replace the rotors and break pads. Now I have a bigger problem, my calibers froze, causing the(front) breaks to lock, and now my master cylinder is gone - we are talking a $700 repair job, on a car that is 4 years old, with less than 60K miles. With all the complaints I just read, how come Toyota hasn't done a recall"????????????????? why do "we" need to replace the rotors, and pads every year"

Front rotors are out of round. Dealer cut them. They developed the same problem 4,000 miles later. I was told by the dealer if I had them cut again it would cost me money. I had them cut by my mechanic which happens to be my cousin at no charge. I was told by other Camry owners that their rotors were replaced by Toyota. I have 44,000 miles on my 2002 Camry V6. The rotors are out of round again and Toyota has not released after market rotors for that car. I am un-happy with this whole situation.
