NHTSA Complaint #10786075 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

THIS MORNING I WAS TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE UNDER 30 MPH ON A NEIGHBORHOOD PAVED ROAD. AS I WAS APPROACHING THE 4 WAY STOP, MY DASH READ "CHECK VCS SYSTEM" PLUS ALL THESE LIGHT CAME ON MY DASHBOARD SUCH AS A BRAKE LIGHT, A CIRCLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION, A FEW OTHER LIGHTS THAT IM NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE AND MY BRAKES WERE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP . I ENDED UP ROLLING THROUGH THE 4 WAY STOP AND WAS ABLE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A DITCH. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO MY HOUSE GOING VERY SLOWLY AND WITH AN EXTREMELY LARGE AMOUNT OF SPACE TO STOP. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE TO READ THE CODES BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO READ THEM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AN ENGINE CODE. ON MY WAY BACK TO THE HOUSE, ALL LIGHTS DISAPPEARED AND THE LOCAL TOYOTA SHOP SAID IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS. I AM EXTREMELY THANKFUL MY KIDS AND THE KIDS WALKING ACROSS THE CROSS WALK AT THE FOUR WAY STOP WERE NOT INJURED!
