Alternator/generator/regulator Problems of Toyota Camry

My car keeps having problems. Toyota has rebuilt the engine in January 2018. Since then, I've had a new alternator three times. The last time was March 2020. A new radiator 2019, new spark plugs March 2020, new fuel pump April 2020. The passenger side window and passenger rear window will not come down. This happened a couple weeks ago. Scheduled a service appointment for, July 29, 2020. Yesterday, July 24, 2020, my car started shaking and cut off. There were no lights on (engine, oil or battery). In the process, the battery light flashed. Roadside assistance was called for service. Tow truck driver gave me a hotshot at my request so, I could roll the driver side windows up. My car needed a hotshot to drive off of the tow truck to park. Today, July 25,2020, roadside assistances was called to have it towed to jerry's Toyota belair rd. , baltimore, MD. I was advised that I need another alternator, again. This just makes no sense at all. This will be the third alternator in about two years. Further, I was advised that the mechanic �thinks� that the master switch for the windows need to be replaced. For some reason, the alternator is not lasting in my car.

The red indicator light in my dash display came on when I started the car and continued while I was driving, so I took it to a mechanic. My alternator needs replacement, which is very disappointing because the car only has 84,000 miles on it and has been very well maintained and serviced regularly. I purchased a new battery about 2 months ago, and the alternator replacement quote from the Toyota dealership where my family purchased the car new is quoting $1,245 for a new alternator (parts & labor). An internet search led me to find that this is happening to quite a few owners of this era of Toyota. I called Toyota customer service and was informed that there is no recall or any type of assistance available to cover the cost of this very expensive and premature repair. My mechanic warned me of the huge dangers of having my alterator fail while operating the car, especially while doing the fast freeway driving that is so common in los angeles. I had no idea that the red battery dash light indicated such a serious problem. I hope that in the near future this can be recalled, to save consumers the huge cost of making this critical and untimely repair. Thank you very much for your time reading this complaint and your consideration in this matter.

While driving the car, the engine and electrical components suddenly shut off. The first few times this happened, I was able to simply re-start the car with everything working again. I then brought the car to 3 different mechanics who could not find anything wrong with the battery or alternator (or anything else). The problem was erratic so it never occurred with the mechanics. Now the problem occurs occasionally when I turn the headlights or brights of the car on. The last time it happened (10/11/14) was while I was driving about 60 mph. The engine shut out, the dash lights went off (as well as all the other electrical things: gps, ac, radio, etc). Even the flashers would not turn on. Then, in a matter of moments, everything turned on again. The car's engine did not even need to be restarted. I was able to keep driving without incident for 20+ miles. This incident has happened a total of about 3-4 times in the past, however, it was not triggered in the past by turning the lights on. There was no apparent trigger at all. The problem is erratic and does not happen all the time.

I had my rear brakes installed at hollywood Toyota in October of 2013. As I left the dealership once the job was complete, my abs light, the brake light came on, my speed odometer stopped working along with my ac which started blowing hot air. I took the car back the following day and got the runaround. The Toyota mechanic said it was the alternator since it was new, and it was giving to much amps. I immediately took the car back to the place the alternator was put in. The problem still existed after going back and forth with the problem. My service tech norm franz said I would have to pay to have a diagnostic test done on the car. Of course I got mad! when I bought the car in I had no problems with the vehicle. The Sunday before my last visit to hollywood Toyota, it started raining, which caused my windows to fog up inside and me driving in a ditch because of poor visibility. Not from the outside, but from the inside everything became fogging in the interior of the car, where I either had to make contact with a car in front of me or go off into the ditch to avoid an accident from whipping the window trying to see in front of me. When, I saw hollywood Toyota not wanting to except responsibility for the actions it has caused! I contacted Toyota corporate and they in turn allowed me to take the car in for another diagnostic without cost. After leaving the dealership, the problem was no better then I took it in. But in addition to me taking it in. I went online and saw I was not the only one who had problem with the abs, brake light style coming on along with the speedometer not working. After dang near pulling what hair I have left out, I am reaching out to you to help eliminate this problem before a major accident occur and lives are lost, because someone else who's ac may not be working on the account of the electrical system failing would be a tragedy.

I have a 2000 Toyota Camry. Last weekend, when I returned from a short grocery trip, I found that my car alternator belt was running even though I had shut off the car and had the keys with me. This was very scary. Now I have to manually make sure that the car is actually off even after I turn it off.

One of two electronic accelerator position sensors malfunctioned on my 2002 Toyota Camry. I experienced a sluggish response to pedal action (I. E. I had to push the pedal farther than normal to gain any acceleration - check engine light was also illuminated). I immediately drove to my mechanic's shop for evaluation and repair. After running diagnostics, he determined that the sensor had malfunctioned and advised me not to drive the car any further until it was repaired. As I understand it, from my mechanic's explanation, the sensor determines the position of the accelerator and sends a request for acceleration as a voltage ranging from 0-5v, where 0v is no acceleration and 5v is full-throttle. Through further testing, he determined that the sensor that had malfunctioned was reading 5v. I find it very concerning that in the event of failure the sensor does not "fail safe" (I. E. Fail to 0v, rather than 5v). The technician explained that the second sensor was there as a safety redundancy, but either way, "fail safe" is one of the most basic design concepts in an application where safety is critical as is the case here. In my conversation with Toyota, they would not stand behind the part (my warranty had expired and it was not on recall), nor could they give me any assurance that the replacement part had been redesigned in such a way that it would "fail safe. " I am a wife, mother of two small children, and the primary income generator for our family. I do not feel good about what I now know about the safety of my car and do not feel that Toyota took my concerns to heart. I would appreciate anything you could do to help. I suspect I may not be the only one to experience this safety failure.

Since 2007 I have noticed some type of engine difficulty with the Toyota. The engine shuts off while running (it is an automatic transmission. ) also, alternator and battery receive too high a charge resulting in computer system overheating. I have replaced both alternator and battery several times, much more than necessary and problem remains with the obd system. This also causes engine to have surges of power while driving affecting cruise control. . . I don't know if this is also a problem relative to current Toyota issues-online someone has a 2002 solara with same problem. My parents have 01 solara-no problems reported. My old Lexus had similar problems my 1989 celica was a great car. Would not own again-would like to sell nut concerned for safety of any future owner(s. ).

The retaining nut for the alternator pulley came off the shaft causing the pulley to wobble which led to the loss of the serpentine belt; without the belt I lost power steering, the battery began to run low and the engine started to overheat. Fortunately I was 2 miles from home and was able to make it there w/o any damage to the vehicle. The vehicle was still under warranty, ~19,000 miles on the odometer, and was repaired by the dealer. The belt and the alternator assembly were replaced.
