 My car has experienced two electrical problems within the past 2 years. i own a 2006 toyota camry.bought in sept 2005. dec 2008 the battery died and my local garage traced it to the alarm- they disconnected the module. aaa replaced the battery. nov 15, -2010-, battery died again and the car was towed to my local station. they located another draw on battery but could not repair it and sent it to balise in warwick ri. i had purchased it there.after 2-3 days on their computer, they located it in the instrument cluster in the odometer. the car has no serious recalls on it and i note that though 2005, 2007-2010 have been recalled the 2006 has not. i wish to report this so it is on record in the event there is a recall. the car has 25,000 miles on it and the repair this time will cost about $1100. i have been without a car for 7 days as balise had to order the part last friday nov. 19th. it will arrive, hopefully, mon nov 22nd.

 I was pulling slowly iinto a parking space in front of an office building. when i gently applied the break, the car suddenly zoomed forward and struck the front of the building, shattering a large glass window and its frame and area around it. this stopped the car. i put it into reverse and backed into the parking space. the air bag did not inflate. fortunately, the occupant of that office had just left. otherwise she would have been hit by flying glass. i had never before had trouble of this kind with this toyota. the damage was repaired, but i sold the car to the auto body shop.
