Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Having your Venza quit right as you’re pulling in? That’s like your car saying, “I’m done for the day!” It sounds like you might be dealing with a dirty throttle body, a faulty idle air control valve, or even a crankshaft position sensor that’s on the fritz. These issues can cause stalling, especially when the engine isn’t fully warmed up. Given that it happens when you're on an incline, it could also point to fuel delivery issues, like a weak fuel pump or a clogged filter not handling the angle well. Since this has been happening for a couple of days, it’s best to get it checked before it leaves you stalled out somewhere less convenient than your driveway.
