:( :( .. its started again.. after more than a month of replacing batery and alternator... The radio has started cutting off.. this is how it starts first radio does it then slowly it moves on to the car.... @Ak00fj - brake light globes is whats left to check.. There should be some solution to this!!!...

Nah jeffy the car never seemed to do it when ever I take it to the mechanic and one of the mechanics was at a toyota delership and they couldnt seem to find anything.. I did narrow it down for you. Did you read it? Did you try it? If yes, try a better mechanic! Now I have got a new battery and alternator for the car and it hasnt done it since then but its too earlt its only been a week. Will get someone to try the possibility of lighting issues like you said , the other two grounding and alternator charging had already been tested...

OMG!! i seem to have the exact same problems on my 2003 camry altise .. engine cuts off a second or two mostly when there is extra load lke hitting the brakes , indicators on/off. Radio cuts off as well. Took my car to almost 5 different mech and two autoelec and no one can seem to find the problem. the damn thing does not do it when I take it for inspection... very frustrating. Anyway my battery died the other day and the guy from RACV replaced it and also found that the alternator was not charging the battery properly. SO i got the alternator changed, cost about $550 and it hasnt done it for about 5 days now (fingers crossed). With all the posts here obviously this seems to be a problem with 03 models, its amazing that no one can narrow down to what exactly the problem is. Dont know if I should et rid of the car..
