5 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2016

This situation have been going on for a month. When I have sitting at a light or on idle. My trac, abs and brake light continue to come on every other week or so. I have seen this complaint before from other Camry's owner online. When they go to the dealership, they tell them it is a sensor. But it is never resolved. Can anybody tell me what is going on with the car? I only had this car for a year. This is scary for me due to me having 2 kids.

6 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/16/2012

Started the car and had several brake warning lights on instrument cluster. Took car to dealer and they retrieved a code of c1214. They could not find a problem. Before they cleared the code and while I had the warning lights, I had no regenerative braking. Only the friction brakes worked, which considerably lengthened the stopping distance. Now I no longer have any confidence in the car.
