NHTSA Complaint #10968491 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

THE SHORT CIRCUITING OF THE ABS ACTUATOR HAS HIT ME TOO. THIS HAPPENED ON 03/22/2017 TO MY 2007 CAMRY LE. IT FIRST CAME UP WHEN I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME UP AND EVEN WHEN THE CAR STARTED MOVING, THE SPEEDOMETER WASN'T MOVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS GOING TO COST ME $2500. I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND ALMOST HALF OF THE CAR'S WORTH ON REPLACING THIS PART WHEN I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF ANOTHER PART BLOWS UP. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2007 CAMRY MODEL. I AM SURPRISED THAT TOYOTA IS NOT EXTENDING THE WARRANTY OFFERED TO THE HYBRID MODEL TO THE NON HYBRID ONE. THIS IS INDEED A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED. OR IS IT GOING TO TAKE A FEW ACCIDENTS BEFORE TOYOTA ACCEPTS ITS FAULT. FUEL GAUGE, TACOMETER, SPEEDOMETER DON'T WORK NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE14001 COVERS JUST HYBRID MODEL HOWEVER THE IT'S THE SAME SAME PART: BRAKE ACTUATOR
