Owner Complaints (3)
Your engine shuts off whenever you turn on the headlights, turn signals, or wipers — a serious safety hazard while driving. The problem started intermittently in late June 2025 and became constant by early July. A Toyota dealership diagnosed it as bad electrical grounding points (high resistance) in the front bumper area that were causing the engine to stall. The repair will likely involve cleaning or replacing the grounding connections and possibly removing the front bumper to access them.
