NHTSA Complaint #11079077 — 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON 40 MILES/HOUR THE BRAKE LIGHT, ABS, SKID CONTROL, AND MAINTENANCE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH A WHISTLING SOUND TOO, ALSO THE DASH BOARD HAD CHECK THE VSC SYSTEM WARNING. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR DUE TO BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE, SO I PULLED OVER TO A CLOSE BY GAS STATION AND STOPPED BY HITTING THE CURB. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND DIAGNOSED AS ABS BRAKING ACTUATOR SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, AND ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $2,200, IT WAS OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BY 4 MONTHS SO I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS PARTICULAR MANUFACTURER LIFE THREATENING MISTAKE THAT COULD TAKE AWAY MY LIFE IF I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA COMPANY 3 TIMES THEY STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE MALFUNCTION PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, AS IT IS NOT A RECALL YET, IT'S ONLY UNDER INVESTIGATION. I KNOW THIS HAPPENED TO MANY CARS OF THIS MODEL. AND INJURIES OCCURRED BUT TOYOTA DON'T WANT TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR DANGEROUS MISTAKE.
