I tried to press the brakes at a stop sign and they do not engage or they would engage on a delay, vehicle took long time to stop. It was hard driving back and I was scared of an accident happening even after turning on emergency blinkers on my drive back home. Toyota needs to investigate it as it is a safety issue.

I was traveling eastbound on a city street turning into a shopping plaza and applied the brakes to let opposite westboard traffic to clear. The car did not respond to the brakes and I hit the center concrete median that divides east and westbound traffic.

Unknown my vehicle was mobile, at the normal speed limit of 35mph on a city street, and all of a sudden there was a burning smell. By the time I found a safe place to stop my all the lights on my dash went on, with a whizzing sound coming from the front end of the vehicle.

Driving at about 30 mph on a straight road 6am approx. 1 mile from my house. I applied brakes intending to make a left turn then vsc warning light came on and brakes did not work properly. No cars in front of me, had to push hard on the brake pedal to slow the car. I missed my intersection to turn. It is as if the power system to the brakes stopped working. I slowed enough to turn the car onto a sided street and pumped the brakes hard, it is still difficult to brake, but at least I know I have to apply heavy foot pressure to brake. Turned car off and back on again and vsc light came on again, then turned off after 1 minute and power braking returned to normal.

My 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid ecb has failed which causes braking issues and is a safety concern. There have been others reporting this to the NHTSA, but no action taken. Please force a recall as the whole braking system is at risk.

This is the second time my check abs system has come on. The first time the brakes were very hard to work and would hardly stop and grabbed. This was found to be a broken wire in in the rear of the car. Now it has happened again and this time they say it is the rear harness that is bad and it is not covered by warranty. Most of the 79 complaints are for these problems and there is yet to be a recall. This is nuts! does someone have to get killed before the NHTSA does anything. This is a major safety issue, its the brakes!!! .

This is the 3rd time that my check vsc system has come on. I was driving on the street and came to a light and my brakes locked and I couldn't stop right away. Lucky there was no car in front of me because I would have hit them. I had press hard on the brakes which causes the car to start bucking. This is very dangerous. I am looking to purchase another car because I don't feel safe in this car.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid. After the vehicle was started, the brake pedal had to be depressed with force and all of the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the brake reservoir and abs actuator were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,500.

I started the car and everything seemed normal. I started accelerating down the street and the dashboard lights up with all kinds of warning lights. Mileage was between 69000-69450. The traction control, brake, master warning light, abs and the center display said "check vsc system". I continued to coast until a nearby stop sign and when applying pressure to brake, to my horror the brakes had an almost complete failure. I immediately went home, less than a mile away and the brakes continued to malfunction the whole way. I was able to stop but only with severe pressure to the brake peddle which only produced slight braking. There was no accident. Coming back to the car the next day the warning dash lights were off and vehicle was working normal again. However, this also happened the following day halfway through a short trip across town. I took it to the dealer and they replaced a recall part, the brake fluid reservoir. They checked the computer for codes and these codes did not show up in the code history despite it being 2 days before. The problem has been intermittent and did not happen the day I took it in to the dealership. . Read more...

Dashboard on my 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid bought in florida new has become a danger to driving do to the shinny and stickiness on the dashboard. Back in August 13, 2014 I noticed when driving in the daylight the glare from the dashboard distorts your view the problem it seems to be getting worse I called the Toyota dealership where I bought the car and I told the service manager the problem he said they know about it and there is nothing they can do. I went to a car detailing service and they said it is the worse they seen he also checked on the website for a solution, now it is up to NHTSA to force Toyota to correct the problem before some one gets killed.

The warning panel indicated "check vsc system," along with a loud beeping noise. My brakes went out completely and as I pumped the brakes the went down to the floor. The car slowed but did not come toa complete stop. In order to avoid hitting an 18 wheeler in front of me, I had to pull over to the side and grazed my car against the metal part of a railing. When I brought it to Toyota, they said it was a brake actuator and quoted me $3500 to fix the problem.

Backing out of parking space. Check vsc light came on. Check abs, parking brake stayed lit, exclamation mark, and exclamation mark inside red triangle. Was able to drive car home, but brakes seemed to "grab" and not be as responsive. Will take car to mechanic tomorrow, but am reading that this may be a problem with 2007-2009 hybrids and wanted to report.

While driving "check vsc system" warning displayed along with several warning lights. At that time the brakes on the vehicle felt squishy and much less responsive.

While pulling into parking lot the warning lite & display said vsc with two brake related symbols turned on & brakes lost its power assist. Was able drive home while driving slowly giving a lot of room to stop, made a appointment with Toyota dealership. Drove down was charged to troubleshoot they found the brake accumulator had internal failure, also was informed for that area of the car is out of warranty, so it would cost $4200 for parts & labor. I don't have that kind of spare coin sitting around. So I brought it home & parked it, I hope we can drive Toyota to make a recall. Brake hydraulic parts should last 100,000 miles.

Vsc system warning light comes on, and the brakes become very "soft", nearly failing. This only happens when temperatures reach 50 degrees or below, and is quite common when it's around freezing or below.

Complete failure of braking system. Replaced at cost of $3,194. 61.

Streets wet and snowy vehicle surges without foot on gas. Check vsc light comes on. Checked out by molle Toyota who said unless it acts up while there, they can do nothing. 3-20-13. Streets only wet. Vehicle surges and check vsc light comes on. Have to keep foot on brake to put in garage. Afraid to drive car.

While driving on Sunday, March 30, 2013 I lost the power braking. This is the second time since that this happened. The first time was September 18, 2012. I was able to pull the car over safely but it was an extremely scary situation. Had I been on a highway at 55-65 mph I would have never been able to stop the car and would have likely caused an accident. A message appeared on my dashboard indicating to "check vsc system". Several other lights were lit up as well including the word "brake". After doing some online research and finding out that this same thing was reported by other consumers I thought it best that I reach out to see if a recall is warranted.

While driving at safe speeds, sudden loss of power-brake assist. Vehicle could be stopped but required extra brake pedal force and distance. "check brakes" and "vsc" warning lights illuminated. This occurred a couple of times so vehicle was taken to local Toyota dealership. They could not replicate the problem but determined that most likely problem was the hybrid brake regenerating system and replaced the "brake stroke sensor". Note that our camry is a 2009 model--I recently read about this problem occurring in 2007 and 2008 model years.

Abs surging and fluctuating during stopping.

When I am braking and go over a bump, the car feels like it speeds up before braking resumes.

Abs brakes have a surge. Right front tire skids in hard stopping.

Vibration and surging from brakes during hard stopping.

Brakes not fixed in previous service. Brakes still surging and pulsing during stops.

Abs brakes not operating properly. Grabbing and causing one tire to skid.
