Brake Sensor Problems of Toyota Camry Hybrid

A while back I was driving on a residential street my vsc message came on and I notice a jerk in the tires if it was sliding, so I immediately pulled over turned the vehicle off hoping it could be a sensor failure so after sitting for 5 mins I turned the car back on notice the message wasn't there anymore I then begin to drive the vehicle for a good 5 mins and the car did the exact thing vsc message came back on the car begun to feel like it was sliding so I pulled over again sat about 10mins this time, turned the car on the message wasn't there I start driving 5 mins later the same exact thing happened again.

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 Toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 20 mph, suddenly the lights on the instrument panel illuminated. The brake failed when depressing the pedal. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was dianosed that the brake code c1247 stroke sensor needed to be recalibrate. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure the failure mileage was 57,000. Aw.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated that the brake pedal extended to the floor when it was depressed and the stopping distance increased. The contact indicated that the brake and abs sensors illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 175,232.

While I was driving on level ground with the foot lightly on the accelerator, a warning bell and various warning lights went off (including abs and check vsc system). When I put on the brakes I had to push much harder than usual in order to slow the vehicle. These conditions continued for three miles, at which point the warning signals discontinued and the braking returned to normal. Both an independent repair shop and the local Toyota dealer did not find error codes or identify a cause for what I experienced. The dealer installed a new brake fluid reservoir as part of a limited service campaign. It would not, however, install a new brake actuator assembly or brake stroke sensor as part of the ze1 warranty enhancement since it did not find error codes. Toyota's national customer experience center would also not authorize the replacement of these parts due to a lack of error codes. Six months and 5000 miles later the problem has not happened again.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph the dashboard sensor lights that included the brake sensor ligtht had illuminated and moments later the brakes malfunctioned and vehicle would not stop while pressing the brake pedal. The contact was able to coast the vehicle into a parking area and contacted a towing service who towed the vehicle to a dealer. The failured had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 137,000. Jft.

All sensor lights came on with "check vsc system" message. Brakes felt mushy and it was harder to stop. Took into dealership next day but lights had turned off. Dealership scanned for computer codes but found nothing. Everything fine. 6 weeks later on 300 mile trip, same thing occurred. I had no choice but to continue on trip and return home a week later. Took into dearlership. Now they state that there is an internal leak in the abs actuator and want $3,189. 00 to fix. Read where this part has been redesigned due to an engineering flaw in original part and where many other owners of this model have experienced same problem. The repair cost is outrageous. This makes my car dangerous to drive, but I cannot afford the fix.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed the vehicle vibrated. Additionally, the skid control and brake sensor warning lights illuminated. The contact had to brake with force to bring the vehicle to a stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the stroke sensor detector system needed to be reset. The remedy was implemented several times however, the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45,757 and the current mileage was 51,000.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated that the front brakes were emitting a loud noise intermittently and the abs sensor illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The technician was unable to neither replicate nor diagnose the failure. In a different occasion, the contact stated that while traveling at an unknown speed, the brake pedal was applied and the brakes failed to engage. The contact mentioned that all of the sensors illuminated on the instrument panel and after several attempts the vehicle finally came to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed from the contacts residence to another authorized dealer who replaced the front brakes. The failure recurred and the authorized dealer later indicated that the abs modulator assembly and the skid control ecu needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure several times to no avail. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Started vehicle in parking lot. Warning lights indicated vsc (vehicle stability control) problem, along with abs problem. Put vehicle in reverse, slowly moved backwards. Brakes did not engage normally, only if the pedal was fully depressed. Took vehicle (slowly) to a nearby Toyota dealer. Part that failed is the stroke sensor, which controls the operation of the brakes. Had this failed at freeway speeds I am unsure that I could have safely stopped the vehicle or avoided a collision. This sensor is not covered under the powertrain warranty but I believe it should be as its failure is a serious safety issue. This part (according to the dealer) did not fail due to abuse, neglect or lack of maintenance.

I was driving and all of a sudden there was a buzzer and several warning lights came on the dash - master warning light, brake system warning light, brake system warning light, and there was a warning message that said "check vsc system". Then when I tried to apply my brakes, they started pumping and I had a hard time stopping. I managed to make it the few blocks to my house and I called the dealer service department. They said it was unsafe to drive and I had it towed to the service department. The car had been there 8 days prior for a normal service appointment. They said that the stroke sensor had gone out and when I asked how it happened they said it just malfunctioned for no reason. The cost to replace was $433. 14. I am concerned about driving a car that can suddenly malfunction and lose braking function without warning. The car had received its regular service/maintenance just a week before, so there is no reason that the brakes should have failed without warning.

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated that when she depressed the brake pedal, she felt a jolting jerk and the pedal went down to the floor when she applied it lightly. She took the vehicle to the dealership and the dealer recalibrated the stroke sensor. About 8-9 months later, the issue occurred again so she took the vehicle back to the dealership, and the stroke sensor was replaced. She stated that she noticed no problems since the latest repair. She had not called the manufacturer to-date. The current mileage was approximately 24,000. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
