Electrical System · reported Nov 9, 2026
The Camry while driving completely shut down, all electrical (including stereo screen, music, dashboard lights) and engine, losing power. It’s not available for inspection since it is now at the Toyota dealership. Due to total loss of control and power to the vehicle while driving it put myself and anyone behind me in risk of accident and/or injury. The Toyota dealership after inspection/diagnostic confirmed there were computer error codes showing up but there was no check engine light on. There were and are still no warning lights, messages or any prior/current sign of the problem. The…

They confirmed that the RCTA is ON, but said they could not duplicate it and that it is working as normal. First time it happened was within a week of having the vehicle. I have not been unable to catch it on video to show the dealership, but its highly concerning, as I feel it is a…
