Hello, I'm new and my daughters 07 camry starts all by itself! Help
Hi, I'm new here. My daughter bought herself her first car...all by herself!! Her own loan, her own insurance, her own 07 Toyota Camry! We're so proud of her. But here's the problem... Last night when she left work, she made a quick stop. Upon returning to her car noticed her lights we on. She thought she had the wrong car. The car was running. She does not have remote start. She tried the fob to unlock the car and it wouldn't unlock, she had to use the key. A couple of bystanders didn't think the car was running, so they suggested she try the ignition...crunch..it was running. With the key in the on position, the car turned itself off. Then it tried to start itself over and over. She removed the key and it continued. A bystander then took the fob and randomly pushed it several times and it finally stopped. She waited a few minutes and started it and drove home. She has had this car 32 days. Given the recent Toyota scares, we are concerned. Any thoughts out there??
That is a very strange problem. I hope you are able to resolve the issue with the help of the folks here at TN. Fingers crossed that it turns out to be something simple.
Best of luck, and enjoy the forums
EDIT: I just noticed that you had started your other thread in the 9th generation Corolla forum, so I've moved it to the 5th & 6th generation Camry forum

yes...here's my previous post.
Well you guys were right. Although the dealer "supposedly" did the 160 pt check that they do on "certified used" vehicles; and although we were told it did not have a remote; although we did the whole "push the button 3 times and hold down" test and nothing happened they found an after market remote installed. I brought it home as a souvenior. But they treated us right, taking no chances. They sent a wrecker to tow it. And while we were there, we discovered that everytime they detail it (car wash), the interior floors become absolutely soaked. So they sent my daughter home with a 2010 camry LOANER, so they could figure everything out and dry it out! We'll see what they come up with. Have to say, I am relieved it was a remote! Thanks for all your help.
