2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid complaints

THE VSC SYSTEM IS OUT AND NO ONE KNOW HOW TO FIX IT EVEN THE DEALER IT NOT SHOWING UP ON THE SCANNERS .I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR LIGHTS CON ON ON DASH. NO BREAKS IT WAS SCARY I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IF A. NEXT CAR OR CARS WAS INFROUNT OF ME I WILL HAVE BEEN REAL HURT BECAUSE I WAS GOING 60 TO 65 MPH I HAD NO CONTROL. OF THE CAR CAN YOU ALL LOOK INTO A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILL !!!I WAS LOCKY I WAS CALM NOT EVERYONE WILL BE CALM....TAKATA RECALL...

EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION TESTED BY DEALER AND APPARENTLY CLEARED RECURRED BUT NOW OUT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY

ABS ACTUATOR HAS FAILED. SEVERAL LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE BRAKES ARE FAILING.

I JUST GOT THIS CAR NOT LONG AGO, JUST BECAUSE OF TOYOTA'S GOOD REPUTATION. NOW I AM REGRETTING IT THINKING I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A HONDA OR A NISSAN. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS AND I NOTICED THAT IT'S LEAKING BRAKE FLUID DUE TO A FAULTY ABS ACTUATOR BRAKE PUMP 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID 44510-30270. THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SPONGY, ALSO A HIZZING SOUND COMES FROM THE ACTUATOR AND IT DOES IT FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS THEN STOPS; AFTER THAT I NOTICE A FEW DROPS OF BRAKE FLUID COMING FROM THE ACTUATOR, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST CAR GETS A BRAKE LIGHT WHEN IN MOTION, PROBABLY DUE TO ALL THE LEAKAGE THE ACTUATOR IT'S PRODUCING. I AM AFRAID IF I KEEP DRIVING IT WITH THIS PROBLEM IT MIGHT LEAVE ME STRANDED SOMEWHERE OR WORST YET HAVE A CRASH. I HOPE TOYOTA RECALL THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA YOU BETTER FIX YOUR GOOD REPUTATION, OR ELSE AMERICAN CARS WILL TAKE A CHUNK OF YOUR PROFITS.

ABS ACTUATOR FAILS AT RANDOM, CAUSING CAR THE ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TO SLOWDOWN AND BRAKES STOP WORKING. CHECK VSC SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT APPEARS

THE LEFT FRONT LUG NUTS DO NOT STAY TIGHTENED. EACH YEAR, OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS, WHEN CHANGING TIRES FROM THE SUMMER TIRES TO THE WINTER SNOW TIRES, THE LEFT FRONT LUG NUTS DO NOT STAY TIGHTENED. THIS FIRST CAME TO MY ATTENTION WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ALONE, IN AN ISOLATED AREA, 200 MILES FROM HOME, WHEN THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL ALMOST CAME COMPLETELY OFF BEFORE IT WAS DISCOVERED AS BEING A PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD AT THE SPEED LIMIT ON A 2 LANE ROAD. THIS YEAR, SINCE NOVEMBER 15, I HAVE RETIGHTENED THE LUG NUTS AT LEAST 6 TIMES. I HAVE TRIED LOCK TIGHT. IT DOES NOT WORK VERY WELL. *TR

MY CAR CAMRY HYBRID 2007 HAVE ALL LIGHT ON: MASTER WARNING LIGHT, BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, CONTROLLED BRAKE WARNING, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT. ALSO THE BRAKE IS SO HARD THAT I WAS CLOSE TO HIT CAR, I CALL TOYOTA IN ORLANDO,FLORIDA BUT THEY TOLL ME THEY DON'T HAVE ANY RECALL AND NORMALLY IS ECU PEDAL STROKE SENSOR AND ABS MODULE SYSTEM, BOTH PARTS COST IS $3,500.

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED WITH BRAKE, CHECK CSV SYSTEM AND ABS LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. *TR

CAR BRAKE FAILS WITH MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON. ( VSC SYSTEM CHECK , ABS , BRAKE , ETC ) IT WAS REPAIRED BY TOYOTA DEALER UNDER "TOYOTA RECALL" PROGRAM FOR "BRAKE-FLUID PROBLEM" . BUT THEY DIDN'T REPAIR " ABS ACTUATOR" UNDER WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (ZE1). & MANAGER SAID YOUR VIN IS/WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ZE1. I LOOKED INTO "ZE1" PROGRAM, HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM458138/INOT-PE14001-59690.PDF BUT I DON'T SEE MY VIN IN THE RANGE PROVIDED., NOT SURE WHY. SINCE MY CAR IS 2007 CAMRY HYBRID, IT SHOULD BE PART OF THAT RECALL ALSO. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION WHERE YOUR CAR BREAKS FAIL ALL OF SUDDEN ON HIGHWAYS. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED OR ATLEAST GET REPAIRED AT TOYOTA'S COST. *TR

VEHICLE HAS PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. LOW ENGINE OIL INDICATOR ON DESPITE OIL BEING IN THE SYSTEM. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALER, AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION AND THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER THE TIME PERIOD THAT THEY GAVE FOR REMEDIATION, THEY CAN DO NOTHING. I HAVE HAD TO PARK THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS SAID THAT THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE, AT ANY TIME, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD.

THE TOYOTA WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROPGRAM (ZE1) IS A SHAM. MY 2007 CAMRY HYBRID HAS NO BRAKES, NO SKID CONTROL, AND GOES ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I TOOK MY CAR TO PERUZZI TOYOTA IN HATFIELD PA WHILE IT WAS "UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY" AND THEY FAILED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF. I SHOWED PICTURE OF THE LIGHTS ON, AND FOLLOWED TOTYOA RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES ON THE ZE1 ISSUE. I TOOK IT BACK LATER TO SAME DEALER AND THE LIGHTS STAYED ON, AND THEY SAID YES IT IS PART OF THE ZE1 WARRANTY BUT NOW IT IS PAST THE TIME LIMIT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, TOYOTA IS SHIRKING THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES BUT NOT ISSUING A RECALL. THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE, DANGEROUS, AND AT $1500 PLUS IN NEED OF REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN STATIONARY, MOVING OR FAILING TO STOP!

VSC LIGHTS AND ABS LIGHTS STAY ON AND POWER ASSIST TO BRAKES IS INTERMITTANT CAUSING EXTREME PRESSURE TO BE APPLIED TO STOP. ALSO AUDIBLE ALARM SOUNDS FREQUENTLY.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY THE FIRST TIME THIS EVENT HAPPENED TO ME. MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT MY BRAKE WAS ON I PULLED OVER TO CHECK IT AND MY BRAKE WAS OFF. WHEN I WENT BACK ON THE FREEWAY ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO BRAKE I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL REALLY HARD TO EVEN GET MY CAR TO STOP. THE WARNING LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR SO AND THEN THE BRAKES LOCK AND COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD ME MY CAR AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME IT BECAME QUITE DANGEROUS. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65 (THE SPEED LIMIT). I WAS BEING VERY CAUTIOUS WITH MY CAR SINCE THAT HAPPENED. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS ON A FREEWAY RAMP MERGING TO GET ONTO A DIFFERENT FREE WAY SECTION. I COULD NOT BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. FINALLY WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL HARD ENOUGH MY BRAKES LOCKED AND I DID A 360 ALMOST HITTING TWO CARS PASSING ME. MY CAR IS AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR LIKE THIS AFTER IT DID THE 360 AT 60 MPH. PLEASE HELP I SUBMITTED PICTURES OF ALL THE LIGHTS THAT COME ON THE PICTURE IS MISSING THE ABS BUT THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL. I ALSO SUBMITTED WHAT I THINK IS THE PROBLEM ALSO. *TR

MY ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR WAS DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY. I'VE CAR IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 22,000 MILES ON IT SO NHTSA ACTION #PE14001 SHOULD APPLY. THE TOYOTA DEALERS REFUSE TO HONOR THE AGREEMENT BECAUSE I AM IN FLORIDA NOW BUT I PURCHASED THE CAR ON GUAM

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND GOT A CHECK VSC SYSTEM ON THE CONSOLE AND WHEN A MECHANIC CHECKED THE PROBLEM, HE GAVE THE CODE - C1391 - ABNORMAL LEAK IN ACTUATOR, MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON, ABS LIGHTS ARE ON, RED TRIANGLE LIGHT IS ON. *TR

ON 2 OCCASSIONS OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID LOST BRAKING POWER. DASH BOARD LIGHTS ABS, VSC AND BRAKE LIGHT ALL CAME ON. WHEN BRAKES WERE USED, CAR HAD VERY LITTLE TO NO BRAKING POWER.

REAR WINDSHIELD EXPLODED WHILE SITTING IN DRIVEWAY ON 8/15/15. DASHBOARD VERY SHINY AND STICKY, CAUSING A HORRIBLE GLARE. THE GLARE GETS SO BAD THAT SOMETIMES I CAN'T SEE OTHER DRIVERS. TOYOTA SAYS THEY WILL REPLACE IT WHEN PARTS COME IN, IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE THEN AND STILL NO PARTS. IN THE MEANTIME, THE GLARE GETS WORSE. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.

THE ABS LIGHT AND CHECK VSC LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES TO STOP, I REALIZED THAT THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. THE CAR WAS SKIDDING AND KEEP GOING AND I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND STILL THE CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD. I CAME CLOSE TO HITTING ANOTHER CAR AND LUCKILY STOPPED COUPLE OF INCHES FROM THE OTHER CAR. IT KEEPS HAPPENING OFTEN AND I AM WORRIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AS IT IS. IT WORKS FINE AND SUDDENLY GOES TO THIS BRAKE FAILING MODE. ESPECIALLY HAPPEN MORE OFTEN IF IT RAINS AND MAKING IT MORE DANGEROUS.

ENGINES OIL BEING CONSUMED AT AN ACCELERATED AND DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS LOOSE WHICH HINDERS DRIVERS VIEW WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THEY FLOP DOWNWARDS AND DO NOT STAY AT A RECOMMENDED ANGLE TO BLOCK SUN DURING USE.

MY CAR HAS HIT 171073 AND IS THE 2ND TIME OR 3 TIME THAT SAIDS "CHECK VSC SYSTEM"AND MY STABILITY CONTROL IS NOTBWORKING PROPERTLY THE DEALER SAID IS SOMETHING NORMAL WITH THIS YEAR MKD AND MODEL OF THE CAR PLEASE HELP.

VISOR RECALL: I NOTICED THAT THE VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS GRADUALLY COMING DOWN AND DESPITE ASKING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO IT, THE PROBLEM WAS DEFERRED AND I WAS ASKED TO WAIT UNTIL IT GOT MUCH WORSE. LAST WEEK IT ACTUALLY CAME CLOSE TO A POINT OF BECOMING DETACHED ALTOGETHER; I REVIEWED THE WARRANTY/EXTENDED WARRANTY INFORMATION ON THE ISSUE AND TO MY SURPRISE I REALIZED THAT WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THIS PROBLEM (VEHICLES 2007-2011); HOWEVER UPON CALLING TOYOTA I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NEVER A PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ZTT AND EVEN IF IT WAS I WOULDN'T QUALIFY SINCE I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 7 YEARS OF TIME LIMIT. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION, NEITHER THE DEALER MADE ME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND NOW I AM PUT IN A POSITION WHERE I HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED WITH OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES (NOT CHEAP ~ 295.00 PARTS + LABOR + TAXES). BESIDES IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THE ENTIRE VISOR CAN BECOME DETACHED WHILE DRIVING POTENTIALLY LEADING TO SERIOUS INJURY AND ACCIDENTS. I HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH MY ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM - ACTUATOR THAT I HAD REPLACED BY PAYING $2150 OUT OF POCKET AND MADE A COMPLIANT TO NHTSB AND LATER DUE TO A NUMEROUS COMPLIANTS A WIDER RECALL WAS ISSUED AND I WAS REIMBURSED BY TOYOTA. HOPE THIS ISSUE GETS LOOKED INTO SINCE THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEBSITE FORUM.

WARNING SIGNS APPEARED ON DASH AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC. UPON DIAGNOSTIC, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED TO CHANGE THE HYBRID BATTERY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL HYBRID BATTERY EXPERT AND FOUND THAT THE BATTERY WAS OPERATING NORMAL. TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ABS ACTUATOR WAS FAULTY. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED USING THE FAULTY ABS ACTUATOR AND WAS OFFERING FREE REPLACEMENT FOR VEHICLES UNDER 150K. THE CAR JUST PASSED 160K AND THE SERVICE WAS DENIED. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTEINANCE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO INFORM THE CUSTOMERS OF POSSIBLE DANGER OF FAULTY ABS ACTUATOR. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER INFORMED WHEN THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICES AT THE DEALERSHIP.

I'M RESPONDING TO THE KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE A STICKY SHINY DASHBOARD THAT CHIPS VERY EASILY. IT FEELS LIKE PAINT THAT'S NOT CURED.

LESS THAN 60K MILES AND NOW MY CHECK VSC SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON AND BRAKES ARE NOT VERY RESPONSIVE. TAKES A LOT LONGER TO STOP.

BORROWED MY MOM'S 2007 HYBRID CAMRY WHICH SHE HAS BEEN BRINGING TO CITY TOYOTA IN DALY CITY, CA, FOR MAINTENANCE. WHILE ON FREEWAY I NOTICED DELAY IN RESPONSE WHEN BRAKING AND HAVE TO PRESS DOWN HARDER AS DID MY DAUGHTER WHO USES IT FOR WORK. CALLED CITY TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THERE'S A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN (LSC) #E0U FOR BRAKE RESERVOIR TANK REPLACEMENT WHICH SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE (SIMILAR TO A RECALL). AFTER SPEAKING TO TWO SERVICE EMPLOYEES I WAS TOLD THAT I CAN LEAVE THE CAR ON SAT, JUNE 18, AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMING MONDAY. THE SERVICE MGR, CALLED ME AND SAID I NEEDED TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETED FOR $160 AND IF IT'S RELATED TO THE LSC I WOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE $160. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO LEAVE THE CAR FOR ONE WEEK. I EXPLAINED I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC IF THE BRAKE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE LSC. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD NOT FIX THE CAR "BECAUSE OF OUR CONVERSATION". THIS WAS UPSETTING AS MY HUSBAND AND I DROVE 2 CARS 20 MILES AWAY SO THAT I CAN GET BACK HOME. I TOLD HIM TO JUST FIX THE LSC AND DO NOT DO THE DIAGNOSTIC AND HE TOLD ME TO PICK UP MY CAR SINCE HE WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO FIX IT. SO I PICKED UP MY CAR AGAIN WITH MY HUSBAND AND WILL BE TAKING IT ELSE WHERE. THE SERVICE MGR ALSO LIED ON THE INVOICE STATING THAT I DECLINED THE OFFER TO FIX THE LSC AND THAT HE OFFERED TO FIX IT AND COMPLETE THE WORK ON THE SAME DAY. WHY WOULD I GO BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT HAVING THE CAR FIXED WHEN I KNOW IT SHOULD BE DONE FOR FRE

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

WHEN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WHILE CAR NOT ON OR WHEN CAR ON BUT KEY NOT DETECTED OR DURING DELAY BETWEEN KEY DETECTION CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARDS BUT WILL NOT ALLOW DRIVER TO DRIVE FORWARD.

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION.

TWO WARNING SIGNALS APPEARED IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE CAR. 1. "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" 2. "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" THE WARNING MESSAGE ARE ON CONSTANTLY. THE HYBRID SYSTEM DOES NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. THE BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT STOP THE CAR AS NORMAL. EXTRA PRESSURE IS REQUIRED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE.

DECREASE IN BRAKING WHILE DRIVING. "BARKING" SOUND WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL (HARD). SOUND OCCURS IN PARK ALSO. NO WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD AS OF YET. DELAY IN BRAKING WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF PARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

AFTER SWERVING/BRAKING TO AVOID COLLISION IN INTERSECTION, VEHICLE DASH WARNING INDICATORS FOR BRAKE, ABS, AND CHECK VSC ALL ILLUMINATED. WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING TO DESTINATION WHILE BRAKING CAUTIOUSLY AND TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER THE NEXT DAY. DEALER CONFIRMED THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT SPENDING THE $2000+ (I WAS 700 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT END DATE) TO FIX IT. AFTER REVIEWING THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS ON MY VEHICLE, THIS WILL BE THE 3RD BRAKE ACTUATOR IN THIS VEHICLE. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGE AN ISSUE WITH A CRITICAL SYSTEM LIKE THIS, BUT GET AWAY WITHOUT A RECALL? AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MEAN TIME BETWEEN FAILURE OF A CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEM SUCH AS THIS NEEDS TO BE UNDERTAKEN AS THIS IS CRIMINAL.

TOYOTA FAILED TO REPLACE MELTING/STICKY DASHBOARD AFTER 6 MONTH FROM THE INITIAL INSPECTION. (1) THE MELTING/STICKYNESS OF THE DASHBOARD RELEASING TOXIC FUME LIKELY HAVE LONG TERM EFFECTS ON ONES HEALTH, AND (2) THE SHINY/REFLECTIVE SURFACE THE DASHBOARD CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS.

MY 2007 CAMRY HYBRID HAS 200210 MILES AND HAD A BRAKE ACCUMULATOR SYSTEM FAILURE. RECEIVED WARNING OF CHECK VSC SYSTEM AND ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. HEAVY FORCE WAS REQUIRED TO STOP THE CAR. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THE ERROR CLEARED. AFTER DRIVING 30 MILES THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND TOYOTA CAMPAIGN EXPIRED 5 MONTHS AGO FOR UNLIMITED MILEAGE. IN DATE SERVICE WAS 2/26/2007

WAS DRIVING, AND HYBRID SYSTEM CHECK LIGHT CAME ON...CONTINUED DRIVING SLOWLY THEN CAR LOST A BIT OF POWER..LIKE PARKING BREAK WAS ON AND VCS FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. DROVE HOME AFTER WITH HYBRID SYSTEM CHECK STILL ON.

WHILE MY CAR WAS IN MOTION, MY VSC SYSTEM CHECK LIGHT WAS ON AND ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM LIGHT WAS ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CAR DID NOT LET ME ACCELERATE ABOVE 30MPH.N AND I COULD FEEL THE FRICTION WHILE ACCELERATING. I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE CHECK HYBRID AND VCS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000.

WHEN I CHANGE BREAK PADS AND ROTORS THE VSC SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON.. BREAKS NO ENGAGED.

CAR IS MAKING A CHIRPING NOISE WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE BRAKE IN PARK. NOISE CAN ALSO BE HEARD WHEN YOU PUT HARDER PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES WHILST IN GEAR . BASED ON RESEARCH IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ACTUATOR MAY BE FAULTY. SO FAR I HAVE NOT HAD ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY BRAKES AND MY "CHECK VSC LIGHT", BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP MY CAR LIKE NORMAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT WAS VERY SCARY WHILE DRIVING.

ON FEBRUARY 24, 2016, CAR BRAKES ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID LOCKED UP WHEN WE TRIED TO STOP AND ABOUT 4 LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD, ABS,VSC,WARNING LIGHT AND ANOTHER ONE. WE BARELY MANAGED TO GET OUT OF HARM'S WAY BUT AFTER THE GRINDING NOISE HAD LOST ALL EFFECTIVE POWER TO THE BRAKES. THE CAR ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT OF THE GRINDING OF THE PADS ON THE ROTORS BUT WAS SAFELY PUT OUT. AFTER REPLACING THE PADS, ROTOR AND CALLIPERS WE STILL WOUND UP TAKING THE CAR TO A DEALER BECAUSE THE BRAKE ACTUATOR OR SOMETHING RELATED WAS STILL NOT LETTING THE BRAKES WORK. THE DEALER HAS GIVEN US A LAME EXCUSE OF WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IS BLAMING IT ON SOMETHING ELSE AND WANTS TO CHARGE US A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR IT. UPON RESEARCH, WE ARE FINDING OUT ABOUT THE ZE1 CAMPAIGN WHERE THEY HAD ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DEFECT. AND WERE REPAIRING ALL THE CARS THAT CAME IN WITH THE DEFECT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. CONTACTING TOYOTA HAS NOT HELPED AT ALL. WE ASKED FOR AN EMAIL ADDRESS BUT WERE TOLD THAT THESE ARE HANDLED BY MAIL ONLY. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SENDING THEM A LETTER ANYWAY. *JS

BRAKES SKIP NOW AND THEN BUT EVENTUALLY CATCH. TODAY WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH IN TOWN DRIVING STRAIGHT THE "CHECK VCS BRAKING SYSTEM" LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL AS ANTI SKID LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT AND I LOST ALL BRAKES WHEN I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES TO STOP. SKID OFF ROAD AND CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED BUT BRAKES WERE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I GOOGLED THE WARNING LIGHTS AND FOUND THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL IF THERE WAS IN FACT ONE. CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS INDEED A RECALL ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID WITH 152850 MILES. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY (2/24/2016). IT WAS PARKED AND WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THIS MESSAGE IMMEDIATELY SHOWED UP ALONG WITH 4 LIGHTS TURNED ON. 1 - CHECK VSC SYSTEM 2 - RED "BRAKE" INDICATOR (BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT) 3 - YELLOW INDICATOR (BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT) 4 - MASTER WARNING LIGHT 5 - ABS INDICATOR LIGHT THE BRAKE OIL IS FULL. I FELT LIKE ITS TAKING LONGER TIME TO STOP. ALSO UNLIKE BEFORE SOMETIMES HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

DRIVING HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND DASHBOARD LIT UP, TRIED TO BRAKE AND VERY LITTLE BRAKE, EVENTUALLY STOP WITH VERY LITTLE CONTROL ON BRAKE. DASHBOARD SAYS "CHECK VSC SYSTEM". RESEARCH SHOWS ITS COVERED HERE. HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/CARS/PROBLEMS/DEFECT/RESULTS.CFM?ACTION_NUMBER=PE14001&SEARCHTYPE=QUICKSEARCH&SUMMARY=TRUE MY CAR HAS 240K MILES AND WITHIN THE 10 YEAR STATUTE BUT IT SEEMS TOYOTA AND DEALER DON'T WANT TO SHOULDER BECAUSE ITS OVER THE 150K MILES LIMITIATION. I CALLED TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM I WASN'T INFORMED AND ONLY FOUND OUT ON THE DAY I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT 1/28/16 THAT THERE IS A RECALL. TOYOTA SAID THEY DON'T CARE AS LONG AS THEY SHOW THAT THE NOTICE WAS MAILED OUT. TOYOTA SHOULD BE FORCED TO HAVE A NO LIMIT MILEAGE ELSE, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE ALL THE EFFORT TO HAVE PEOPLE KNOW THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE REVERSING WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND SUDDENLY JERKED TO A HALT WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE WOULD INDEPENDENTLY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE CHECK VSC WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE REQUIRED ADDITIONAL BRAKING DISTANCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, WITH EXTREME PRESSURE BEING EXERTED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE BREAK LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH. WITHIN A MINUTE AFTER THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH CHECK PARKING BREAK AND CHECK VSC SYTEM AND THE GENERAL HAZARD LIGHT ALL WERE ON. I TRIED TO BREAK AND PULL OVER AND WHEN I DID I REALIZE I COULD NOT STOP. THE ASSIST BREAKS HAD BEEN COMPLETELY DISABLED AND I HAD TO PUSH VERY VERY HARD TO SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO ALSO USE THE PARKING BREAK TO ASSIST ME . WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN THE BREAKS ARE BACK AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES EACH WITH A VERY FRIGHTENING WITHOUT WARNING EXPERIENCE. MY MECHANIC SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES SHOWING WHAT IS HAPPENING. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO KILL SOMEONE. ESPECIALLY A NEW DRIVER OR AN ELDERLY PERSON THAT SIMPLY WOULD NOT HAVE THE GREAT DEAL OF POWER NEEDED OR THE REFLEXES TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END CRASH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THERE WAS ONE INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

TWICE IN THE PAST TWO DAYS, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY ABS AND CHECK VSC LIGHTS CAME ON. THE FIRST TIME, NOTHING APPEARED TO HAPPEN TO THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE LIGHTS. TODAY HOWEVER, I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON. LUCKILY, I WAS APPROACHING CONGESTED TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN NATURALLY. AS I CAME TO THE TRAFFIC AND WAS DRIVING AT ROUGHLY 15MPH, I TRIED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND IT WENT DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT APPLY ANY BRAKE PRESSURE OR STOP THE CAR IN ANY WAY. I PUMPED THE BRAKES WHILE VEERING ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR DID NOT STOP AT ALL AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF A 5 LANE HIGHWAY, WHERE SPEEDS OFTEN REACH 70MPH OR HIGHER. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. I CALLED LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO CHECK THE CAR. THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE ME $110 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS ALL I KNOW AT THIS POINT. I ALSO INDEPENDENTLY RESEARCHED THE WARNING LIGHTS AND FOUND ARTICLES STATING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING FAIRLY FREQUENTLY AND THAT THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING. THAT ARTICLE ALSO STATED THAT THE REPAIR CAN COST UPWARDS OF $2,200. THE CAR IS ABSOLUTELY UNFIT FOR THE ROAD. I CAN'T DRIVE A VEHICLE WHERE THE BREAKS COULD STOP WORKING AT ANY MOMENT AND WITH VERY LITTLE WARNING. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY ISSUE WITH THE BREAKS THEMSELVES, WHEN WORKING PROPERLY. IT APPEARS TO BE PURELY A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT C
