2009 Toyota Venza (manufactured -oct. /08), 6 cylinder. Was in park,about to go in reverse to back out of level driveway, foot on brake, car would not engage in reverse! foot brake pedal felt tense and inflexible. Ie. Would not move even with applied foot pressure. Flashing traction control light came on. Turned off car then restarted and repeated effort to back out. Same thing! again repeat steps, repeated same response. Tried turning off traction control and turning back on several times. No idea what did it, but finally was able to back out.
