2015 Toyota Camry: engine stalls while driving

Filed Jun 25, 2023 · Engine, Transmission · CT

I had no problems with my 2015 Toyota Camry SE that does not even have 90,000 miles on it, and then I started experiencing a shutter when driving between 25 and 50mph. It feels like you are driving over rumble sticks in the roadway, or an abnormal shaking. There is no warning light illuminated on my dashboard ex: engine light. If I take my foot of the accelerator pedal the shutter/shaking would stop or if I pushed on the accelerator to go faster, it will come out of the shutter/shaking also. While I was getting an oil change at the Toyota dealership, I spoke with the Toyota customer service representative about the closed recall (T-SB-0312-17) for this issue on 2012-2014 Toyota Camry's while doing research on this issue and I was told that Toyota has no plans on doing another recall because they have fixed the problem and I would have to have the car fixed myself which could cost upwards of $3,000.00 out of pocket. Why should a customer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have their car diagnosed for a known problem based on internet forums and other Toyota complaints. The engine light is not on, so a code may not even show up. I cannot afford to pay that, and Toyota should stand by their vehicles, stop giving customers the run around and do another recall as this is a big safety issue of faulty parts which can cause a major accident if the car loses power and stalls.

Was driving and slowing down for a light and could feel that car was losing control and breaks did not seem to work properly, then the care stalled and stopped, so turned car off and turned back on again and started. Same thing happened about 10 times and when I finally went back home because I was afraid to go further, I could smell gas when I exited my vehicle. Each time it stalled, I had to restart in order to go again, very scarry and everyone beeping at me doesnt help.

On harder acceleration (such as pulling into busy traffic or on a highway/interstate when acceleration is key to safety) engine RPM at around 3000 RPM the engine loses power/car stalls but doesn't cut out until the gas pedal is let off and pressed again sometimes multiple times. No codes or dash warning lights. Dealership advised that the fuel pump was checked. Fuel pump was weak with low fuel psi. Replaced fuel pump. No problems now. With new toyota recall on fuel pumps, maybe it should be expanded.

The car has stalled three times, twice on the highway, once losing power steering. Twice accelerating at 5 and 50 MPH and once idling at 30 MPH. Battery and charging system errors on dash. Each time, pulling over, going to park, and restarting works. Crank position sensor was replaced after second stall based on engine code p0339.

The first time it happened was july 2017. I was in the city slowed down and got in way of on coming traffic turn left onto another street the car just stalled and sat there. No power at all. I tried pressing the gas, nothing, after several seconds it finally moved across with moments to spare. This has happened several times. It has come to the point where I don't move across to turn unless there is absolutely no traffic. This loss of power seems to be getting worse where I now get this same problem when just driving down a street. The first time I took it to toyota I told them I wanted to have a diagnostic test, all they did was took it for a test drive and found nothing wrong with it.the next time I made and appointment to get it serviced I asked them again. This time they completely ignored me and did nothing at all. There is a notation that I wanted it checked for the loss of power but nothing was notated as being done. This is getting so dangerous, I hate to drive it. The car has just under 22000 miles.

When accelerating from a complete stop or when slowing down to make a left turn, it hesitates as if the car has stalled when stepping on the gas pedal to go. It will go about 5 -10 feet just enough to get you out there into traffic and then nose dives because it loses all forward power, steady pressure on gas pedal and milking gas pedal does not make it resume any faster. So far it has lasted 30 to 45 seconds and then resumes. The rpms stay at about 1 (idle) and the eco light flashes randomly but car does not stall so far just loses forward motion and wont accelerate out of the way of traffic oncoming and behind you. This has happened 9-10 time oct 2016-dec 2016
