Computer Failure Problems of Toyota Camry

I initially began noticing that when the ac does not blow cold air when turned on that all of the gauges on my dashboard stop working including, speedometer dropping to 0 while I am driving so that I do not know at what speed I am driving, my gas gauge inexplicably drops to empty, lights on the dashboard stop working and my dashboard goes dark, rpm gauge flickers wildly, brake & abs lights do not go off, and occasionally the car stops but with hesitation when braking, along with interior fogging of all windows when it rains (sometimes defroster/fans work to defog windows but sometimes it does not causing my visibility while driving to be substantially and dangerously reduced). During some online research, I believed that the issues might be related to an earlier recall so I called the Toyota corporate office and they indicated that it may be related but to take the car to my local Toyota dealership to confirm. I took the car to Toyota of hollywood and the manager stated that it was not related to the recall and that the main computer was malfunctioning and causing the subcomputers to also malfunction and estimated a repair price of $2500. While I was doing my online research, it appears that many 2007 Camrys are having the same exact issues I am having and in addition, the Toyota Camry hybrids had been recalled for the same issues as well. I do not believe I should incur the expense of repairs for issues that seem to be related to a manufacturers defect.

While driving at approximately 45 miles per hour our 2004 Toyota Camry suddenly decelerated, and was only able to move forward very slowly. After pulling the car off of the travel lane and into a safe location, it was noted that the check engine light was on. The car could be driven very slowly (approximately 2-4 miles per hour) with the accelerator depressed completely. After about 45 seconds the car would accelerate to 35-40 miles per hour and stay at that speed with the accelerator completely depressed. The car was unsafe to operate with these accelerator problems. We had the car towed to a Toyota dealer who informed us that the electronic throttle control computer had failed, and that the entire electronic throttle control computer must be replaced.
