Camry 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

The caller said two weeks after she bought vehicle it stalled at an intersection. She had it towed to the dealer, and they had it for 2 days. Dealer got it started and found nothing wrong with it. When they did a diagnostic they could not duplicate the problem. They told her to drive it, and if it happens again, to leave it where it was, and they will come and get it. The second time they had it they replaced the crank sensor, but said they found nothing again after doing a diagnostic. Manufacturer said the vehicle was fixed. The caller still had concerns about the vehicle being safe. Caller has one close call.
