NHTSA Complaint #11053838 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID

TODAY, DECEMBER 11, 2017, WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET IN TRAFFIC, THE 'CHECK VSC SYSTEM' WARNING CAME ON. ALL DASH LIGHTS INCLUDING 'BRAKES' CAME ON AND VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STOP. THERE WAS NO POWER ASSISTED BRAKING. BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD TO ENGAGE AND WHEN VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP, THERE WAS A SINGLE "KNOCK OR BANG" SOUND. THIS WARNING HAD COME ON PREVIOUSLY WITHOUT BRAKING ISSUE UNTIL LAST WEEK WHEN MY WIFE TOLD ME SHE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. I CLEANED AND SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED THE GAS CAP AS PER A YOU TUBE DESCRIBED REPAIR OF THE CHECK VSC WARNING. I THEN DROVE THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THAT TIME WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL TODAY. MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM 12/7/2017.
