While driving on city streets car jerked and all the warning lights turned on and engine shut down. Car coasted to a stop. I tried to restart engine but car made just a zooming sound. Had car towed to Toyota dealership. Service report of problem: removed valve cover and found exhaust cam dowl pin sheared off causing cam not to rotate. Inspected cylinders with bore scope found cylinders 2 and 4 valves have made contact with pistons. Removed exhaust cam shaft and found pin still in camshaft and sprocket backside has groove worn in it from pin of cam. A new engine is being installed. Toyota has requested monetary participation from customer. I feel that this is a manufacturer defect. The car only had 63,883 miles.
I bought a new 2005 Toyota Camry se 3. 3 5 speed auto. It has a hesitation when accelerating from a slow down. When trying to merge it is very unnerving. The check engine light came on the first 3000 miles and a air/fuel sensor was replaced. The hesitation is still not predictable and still occurs. A sulfur smell sometimes occurs also.
