Electronic Stability Control Problems of Toyota Camry Hybrid - part 2

"abs actuator" Toyota knows there is an issue with the 2007 Camry Hybrid abs actuator, my dealership informed me 10/23/2017 that my abs actuator is going out. If this happens it will be hard to stop and or steer my car which is a very dangerous situation. I want to be sure this issue has been lodged with the NHTSA.

When I start the car brake light is on and after few minutes message comes as check vsc system and its not going away.

For several months, the cruise control had only been working intermittently and my brakes seemed rough. The night before I brought my car in, all the lights on the instrument panel came on. On Aug 1, 2017, I got a diagnostic and it was the abs actuator, but I was told I also needed a brake job and an alignment so I went ahead with that $1,000 job. They could not diagnose the cruise control since it was "functioning" at the time. I had already replaced the abs system in 2013 and was told that I may apply for a reimbursement for that $3,600 job, but I am now out of the extended warranty/service campaign so I could not get reimbursed for the current abs failure replacement. After my brake job and alignment, the roughness did not seem to improve and the cruise control continued to malfunction. Foolishly, I rationalized that the brakes needed to be worn in, but soon my car started with a high pitched noise as I got in and out of the vehicle. The brakes also seemed to "slip" sometimes when initially starting the car. (foot on brake, start car, put into drive, and car would start to roll until I took my foot off the brake then reapplied it. ) I went back to Toyota hoping for a miracle and they again said you have to replace the abs, but the service campaign had not been re-extended and I was unable to afford another $3,600. So I continued to drive my faulty vehicle out of necessity. On October 12, 2017, the car began the high pitched noise and this time it didn't stop. I began driving in the parking lot slowly (20 mph) and then the brakes failed. Was able to stop by pressing very hard on the brakes. Since that day my car has been sitting at my workplace unused. Obviously, the abs system that was replaced in 2013 (still awaiting reimbursement) was replaced with another bad system. We need a recall!.

Check vsc system as well as abs and tire lights come on. Known issue with Toyota. Had a maintenance program, but won't help me because it didn't start to occur until 1 month after expiration date. They don't send notifications. You have to wait until the problem occurs which could be after it causes an accident!.

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. . .

Vehicle was stationary with the engine on. In 2014 Toyota issued a warranty enhancement notification - ze1 for the brake actuator assembly issue. I took my car to the dealership and the problem was corrected. A month ago (2 years later) the same exact symptoms occurred (same 5 warning lights). I called Toyota and they said since my vehicle was already corrected, the warranty enhancement ze1 no longer applied. Seems to be a recurrent problem that Toyota should warranty.

The front end axle or cv joint area ,there is metallic and dash lights up warning about losing stability.

Late evening 1/10/17, while moving at 65mph on I-95, in moderate traffic, my dash lit up and brief alert tone sounded. Indicator read: "check vsc," brakes pulsed & got heavy. Lasted 5 minutes, then alerts cleared. Made a call to have a mechanic take a look on 1/13, however on the evening of 1/12/17 while moving at low speed in a flow of cars, my brakes began clutching up & became very heavy & unresponsive, my dash lit up & a high-pitched alert tone sounded. The brake light, maintenance light & others lit up & dash indicator said "check vsc system. . . Maint required. " when I stepped on the brake, the pedal pushed back, & as I tried to limp it into the parking lot, the brakes constantly engaged. I stopped to wait for a few minutes, & turned the car off but the high-pitched alert continued for several minutes. From inside the car I could hear a whirring noise in the front end, in the area of the tires. I let the vehicle sit for an hour or two, at which point, the alert tone had stopped but the whirring noise continued. I got inside & found the electronics were dim, most were not working. I stepped on the brake & the high-pitched alert tone resumed. Resistant force continued in the brake. I pushed the start button a few times, & eventually the dash lit back up with all of the warning indicators. The car started, but the brakes pulsed as if constantly engaged & occasionally being slammed. In gear, the problems persisted, so I got the car out of the way & turned it off. Alert tone & whir continued, along with a burning kind of smell from the area of the front tires (right front tire well felt warm). It was dark, so I didn't notice if there was smoke of any color. Because I worried that the whirring motor was going to burn up & possibly exacerbate matters, I disconnected the battery & had the car towed to a dealer. I have some videos if they are helpful.

Abs actuator has failed. Several lights are on and the brakes are failing.

My car Camry Hybrid 2007 have all light 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid. While driving approximately 5 mph, the abs, vsc, and brake warning indicators illuminated. The contact noticed that the brake lights remained illuminated on the rear of the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the skid control computer failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made of the failure, and a case was opened and sent to the manufacturer's legal division. The approximate failure mileage was 132,138.

Brakes went soft, loud squealing noise all lights on dashboard and check vsc system.

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.

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.

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.

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!.

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.

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.

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!!.

"check vsc system" when I took my car out this morning, I got a warning light saying "check vsc system". My brake light and abs lights are also on. The car brakes with a jerk and I am scared to drive it. This problem has been happening quite often. Complaints to the Toyota dealer did not help. . Read more...

I was driving when the check vsc warning came on as well as the indicator warning light, the brake warning light, the abs warning light and the vsc warning light. All the lights remained on until I reached my destination. The brake system made a strange "grunting" noise when the brakes were depressed but the brakes seemed to function properly. The lights came back on when the car was restarted and less than halfway on the return trip, went off. There has been no noticeable loss of braking. On the 21st of the month the lights came back on and have not gone off. The abs pump actuator appears to be cycling very quickly.

Check vsc system comes on, the brake becomes very hard and lights such as abs and others come up on the dashboard while in motion.

I had to replace today my brake actuator and bleed brakes because started in one week ago, every time I stepped in my brake made noise like when you honk for somebody. I would like to know if Toyota had a recall about this problem because I think they did and I paid $1. 800 for a problem I think they should pay for this problem in my car.

I was driving to work in the morning and while on the freeway, my brakes suddenly did not work. Every light on the dash turned on and it said "check vsc system" it has now happened three times and I am afraid to drive my vehicle. I searched online and saw that this has happened to a lot of other people so I feel it's a defect and there should be a recall.

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.

While driving under 45 mph on a straight suburban paved road, my brake light came on then off then on again directly followed by all the warning lights coming on and the display showed "check vcs system". I was entering a turn lane behind another vehicle and quickly realized the brake pedal was not working. I had no brakes! I had already put the car into the engine brake mode which helped slow my vehicle. I slammed down on the brake pedal as hard as I could and swerved away from the car in front of me to avoid hitting them. After successfully pulling over and to a stop, I turn the vehicle off and waited for a few minutes. I turned the car back on and all the lights and check vcs system was still displayed for about 30 seconds. I heard a small click and all the warning lights turned off and the car and brakes were back to normal. I am honestly now afraid to drive my own car for fear of not knowing when and if that will happen again.

I started my car this morning and a message that said check vsc system appeared. The brake light and master warning lights also appeared. I started to go out the drive way and could not press the brakes. It was a little jumpy and the brakes are hard to press now.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid. While driving 30 mph, the brakes failed to engage correctly when the brake pedal was depressed. When the contact depressed the brake pedal, a loud chirping noise was heard from the brakes and the abs and vehicle stability control (vsc) indicator illuminated shortly afterwards. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated that failure code: t1391 pertaining to the brake assembly and vsc failed and needed to be repaired. The failure mileage was 136,000.

I was driving on a straight-line highway at 55mph in dry conditions when suddenly "check vsc system" warning indicator displayed. Brake light, brake icon and abs icons also illuminated. About 10 minutes later, system returned to normal while still driving straight down the road.

Check vsc warning indicator came on when driving my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid this afternoon. When that was on, my car was dragging as if the emergency brakes were on. So I drove very slow when this took place, in an attempt to get home since I was only a few miles from where I lived. In about 5-7 minutes, when I had stopped at a red light, this warning went off and the car worked as it normally has. When I got home and googled this for my car, a number of articles came up about a possible recall for this issue for 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrids. Can you please advise on the status of the possible recall for this issue with this car?.
