A WHILE BACK I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET MY VSC MESSAGE CAME ON AND I NOTICE A JERK IN THE TIRES IF IT WAS SLIDING, SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF HOPING IT COULD BE A SENSOR FAILURE SO AFTER SITTING FOR 5 MINS I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON NOTICE THE MESSAGE WASN'T THERE ANYMORE I THEN BEGIN TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR A GOOD 5 MINS AND THE CAR DID THE EXACT THING VSC MESSAGE CAME BACK ON THE CAR BEGUN TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS SLIDING SO I PULLED OVER AGAIN SAT ABOUT 10MINS THIS TIME, TURNED THE CAR ON THE MESSAGE WASN'T THERE I START DRIVING 5 MINS LATER THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN.

AS I WAS DRIVING A LOUD NOISE CAME ON INSIDE THE CAR MY ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN MY BRAKES FAILED ALMOST CAUSING A HUGE WRECK AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT IS THE ABS ACCUTATOR OR BRAKE ACCUTATOR WHICH I GUESS IS THE SAME THING BUT APPARENTLY A LOT OF THE TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRIDS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WHERE THE BREAKS ARE FAILING AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS BUT YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR IT AND APPARENTLY THE PART COST 2,900 FROM TOYOTA WHICH IS INSANE WHEN IT SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE

CHECK VSC SYSTEM AS WELL AS ABS AND TIRE LIGHTS COME ON. KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. HAD A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, BUT WON'T HELP ME BECAUSE IT DIDN'T START TO OCCUR UNTIL 1 MONTH AFTER EXPIRATION DATE. THEY DON'T SEND NOTIFICATIONS. YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHICH COULD BE AFTER IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT!

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET, AND "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" NOTIFICATION TURNED ON. BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND (!) ALL CAME ON. BRAKES BECAME SHAKY WHEN PRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL, EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA CHULA VISTA (650 MAIN ST, CHULA VISTA, CA 91911, (619) 591-0900) WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND PROVIDED A REPAIR QUOTE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 204,000.

FEW DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING - THE WARNING "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" INDICATOR CAME ON WITH FOUR WARNING LIGHTS - BRAKES, EXCLAMATION TRACTION CONTROL, ABS AND SKID CONTROL. SUDDENLY BRAKES STARTED ACTING STRANGELY AND SOFT AND JERKY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA AND AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS TOLD THAT IT IS CODE 1392 WHICH REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF ABS CONTROL MODULE (THE COST TO REPLACE WAS QUOTED AS $2875.37 - WE DECLINED TO GET IT FIXED. CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE - THEY REVIEWED MY COMPLAINT BUT DECLINED TO HELP.

I GOT IN MY VEHICLE TODAY IN THE VSC LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED OVER GOOGLE, AND EVERYTHING POINTS TO A $3,000 REPAIR, OR A RECALL REPAIRABLE BY TOYOTA. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF I AM ELIGIBLE FOR THAT RECALL REPAIR.

BRAKES DID NOT ACTIVATE, WENT VERY SOFT AND PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" MESSAGE, BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND ANOTHER LIGHT (IN ATTACHED IMAGE) ALL CAME ON AFTER THE BRAKES GAVE OUT. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. BRAKES WORKED AGAIN, BUT ALL OF THE WARNINGS ARE STILL ON. ALSO, SEEMS LIKE THE IT'S JUST REGULAR BRAKES AND ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING.

CHECK VSC & HYBRID SYSTEM LIGHTS WENT ON AND NOW MY BRAKES ARE ACTING FUNNY.

WIFE AND KIDS WERE COMING HOME AND BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND MECHANIC STATED TO CONTACT TOYOTA FOR OPEN RECALL AND SERVICE CAMPAIGN. TOYOTA IS NO HELP WHATSOEVER

WAS DRIVING WHEN MY BRAKES WENT SOFT AND MY VSC WARNING POPPED UP ON MY DASHBOARD .NEVER HAD A ISSUE WITH CAR TILL NOW.I HAVE ABOUT 160K MILES ON IT.LOOKED ONLINE AND LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THERE CAR.

MY VEHICLE'S BRAKES FAILED RESULTING IN REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT. THIS HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY GOING STRAIGHT AT 10 AM. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 20 MILES/ HR WHEN I STEPPED FORCEFULLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED BUT I DID NOT LURCH FORWARD, MY SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN TO PULL ME BACK AND MY BAG PACK THAT WAS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER LEATHER SEAT STAYED WHERE IT WAS. MY VEHICLE BEHAVED AS IF I HAD NOT BRAKED. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES, I COULD SEE ASPHALT BETWEEN MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. MY VEHICLE'S FRONT BUMPER, GRILL AND HOOD WAS DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF MINE HAD DENTS ON THE REAR BUMPER AND THE TRUNK. THERE WAS A THIRD VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE ONE IN FRONT OF MINE THAT WAS ALSO DAMAGED, HOWEVER, I...

I WAS DRIVING MY VECHICLE YESTERDAY THAT WAS JUST IN THE SHOP SINCE SATURDAY SAYING THAT THEY REPLACED EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY MY BREAKS LOCKED UP ON I-95 AND I COULDN'T STOP. I GOT THE VECHICLE BACK YESTERDAY AND I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY BREAKS FAILED AGAIN CAUSING ME TO REAR END THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. I COULD NOT STOP. ABSOLUTELY NO BREAKS!! THE VECHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I BELIEVE THE ABS BREAK ACULATOR / MODULE IN THE VECHICLE IS BAD. THE COMPANY WHOM I BOUGHT IT FROM I BELIEVE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ACCIDENT CONSIDERING THEY'RE THE ONES WHO STATED THEY FIXED THE VECHICLE

ABS MODULE IS CONSTANTLY CYCLING . VCS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON. THE BRAKES ARE SOFT. THE REPAIR IS APROX 3K DOLLARS

ABS ACTUATOR IS BROKEN, THERE WAN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE HYBRIDS UP UNTIL 150,000 MILES.

THE VSC SYSTEM LIGHTS ARE GOING OFF. THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR ON AND THEN IT JOLTS SUDDENLY. NOW A BEEP IS GOING OFF EVERY TIME I START MY CAR.

MY CAR HAS ALL OF THE LIGHT ON DASHBOARD IS ON AND ON SCREEN IT SAYS "CHECK VSC SYSTEM"

BRAKE FAILURE. WAS DRIVING IN RESIDENTIAL STREET (LOW SPEED) WHEN BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. HAD TO USE PARKING BRAKE. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WITH BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR TANK/FILTER, WHICH TOYOTA OFFERED TO SERVICE UNTIL 30 JUNE 2017. UNFORTUNATELY, NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES UNTIL NOW--1 1/2 YEARS AFTER THE SERVICE OFFER HAD EXPIRED. SHOULD BE FULL RECALL. THE REASON WHY PROBLEM DID NOT SURFACE TILL NOW IS BECAUSE VEHICLE HAS LOW MILES (85,000 AFTER 12 YEARS).

THE BRAKES ON MY 07 TOYOTA CAMRY WENT "SOFT" AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, WAITED, AND THE PROB. WENT AWAY. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS TURNED ON, AND CHECK VSC SYSTEM DISPLAYED WHEN AT A RED LIGHT ON A RESIDENTIAL AREA (25MPH). I TOOK THE TO TOYOTA FOR THE SECOND TIME, AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN ABS ISSUE, ACTUATOR AND 4 BRAKE FLUIDS. THE COST TO REPAIR IT IS $1926.54. THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO CALL TOYOTA, WHICH I DID, BC THERE HAD BEEN PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING IN 07 AND 08 TOYOTA CAMRYS. TOYOTA WAS INCREDIBLY UNHELPFUL (THIS DESPITE MY OWNING TWO TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRIDS), EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA HAD ISSUED TWO EXTENDED WARRANTIES BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES WITH INTERMITTENT LOSS OF ASSISTED BRAKING REPORTED BY MANY CUSTOMERS, THE LAST...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY BRAKES GOT SOFT AND MY CAR WOULDN'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BREAK SO THAT I COULD AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET AS WELL, BOTH WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED CAMRY HYBRID FROM THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A BUZZING NOISE FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE, WE ASSUME THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A HYBRID THAT THAT WAS NORMAL. FOR 4 YEARS WE HAVE BROUGHT OUR CAMRY TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGES AND REGULAR SERVICE NEEDS. NEVER IN THE TIME HAD THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BUZZING SOUND. RECENTLY THE ABS AND VSC LIGHTS CAME ON SO WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US BUT THE COST WOULD BE AROUND $2,100 I DECIDED TO SEE IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT MYSELF AND AFTER GOOGLING THE PART I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE NOISE WE HAVE BEEN HEARING FOR 4 YEARS IS COMING FROM THE SAME PART THAT NEEDS TO BE...

BRAKES FAIL AFTER ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON REGARDLESS OF SPEED

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 176,000.

THE BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS TURNED ON, AND CHECK VSC SYSTEM DISPLAYED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED CORRECTLY. I WAS ON THE HWY GOING 65 MPH, IN MY 2007 CAMRY HYBRID WHEN THIS HAPPENED, TOTALLY LOST POWER, I WAS ABLE TO PILL OVER TO THE SIDE ROAD CALL FOR HELP. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS SITUATION FOR AN AUTOMOBILE. I FEEL LIKE THE PUBLIC IS BEING USED LIKE TEST DUMMIES BY TOYOTA.

BRAKE ACTUATOR WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY COERING THIS DEFECT. NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET WHEN WE THE OWNERS WERE NEVER NOTIFIED IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AND WE EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE. HAD WE BEEN NOTIFIED WE NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

WHEN DRIVING ONE DAY WITH MY NEW BORN IN THE CAR, THE LIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH MY BRAKES ALL CAME ON. FOLLOWING, MY BRAKES STARTED REACTING FUNNY WHEN PUSHED ON THE PEDAL. THE DASH SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SVC SYSTEM CHECK VSC

THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM ERROR CAME ON RECENTLY. IT ALSO CAME ON A FEW YEARS AGO AND THEN WENT AWAY AFTER A FEW DAYS. IT'S NOW BEEN UP FOR WEEKS. THE ERROR THAT IS TRIGGERING IS C1391, AND THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THIS IS DUE TO AN ABNORMAL LEAK IN THE ACCUMULATOR. ALL OF THE BRAKE-RELATED LIGHTS ARE ON CONSTANTLY A FEW SECONDS AFTER STARTING UP THE CAR AND STAY ON UNTIL SHUTTING IT OFF. SOMETIMES THE BRAKES RANDOMLY SHUT STOP FUNCTIONING AS EXPECTED AND DO NOTHING WHEN COMPRESSING. I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS A RECALL WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY (AND EVEN AFTER TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY DUE TO THE FACT THIS IS SUCH A WIDE AND PERVASIVE ISSUE); OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO GET IT REPAIRED AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. THIS REPAIR WAS QUOTED TO COST A MINIMUM OF $2,200. IT WOULD BE...

WHEN I DRIVE THIS CAR I PRESS THE BRAKES AND THEY DO NOT ENGAGE OR THEY ENGAGE ON A DELAY. . WHILE DRIVING I ATTEMPTED BRAKE TO SLOW ENTRY INTO UPHILL DRIVEWAY. ALL LIGHTS ON DRIVER PANEL LIT UP. BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. WITH FULL FORCE I DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS HAPPENING FROM LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

VSC ABS MIL LIGHTS CAME ON IN DASH AND BRAKES SANK TO FLOOR, BUT RESTORED CONTROL AFTER RESTART. CHECKED DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND IT SHOWED CODES FOR HYBRID BATTERY P0A80 AND P3025. REPLACED AUXILARY BATTERY WITH OEM FROM TOYOTA. NOW CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND LOSE GAS PEDAL RESPONSE. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR INCLUDING A 5 YR OLD AND 9 MONTH OLD BABY. COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA AS VEHICLE ONLY HAS APPROX 93000 MILES AND TOYOTA DECLINES TO ASSIST WITH RESOLVING ISSUE EVEN THOUGH WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 10YR/150K MILES. DEALER MISDIAGNOSED VEHICLE CODES. BRAKES FAILED SECOND TIME, THIS TIME CAUSING CAR TO SLOWLY BUMP INTO OBJECT AND SCRAPING BUMPER AT LOW SPEED. CHECKED ALL FUSES. VEHICLE NOW CONTINUOUSLY SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY ON SLOW OR HIGH SPEEDS, WHILE MAKING A TURN, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, CROSSING A HEAVY INTERSECTION.

ON MY 2007 CAMRY HYBRID, AS I WAS REVERSING, THE BRAKES ALL OF A SUDDEN ENGAGED, BRAKING SO HARD IT FELT LIKE I HIT SOMETHING. SOON AFTER, THE BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS TURNED ON, AND CHECK VSC SYSTEM DISPLAYED. VSC WARNING LIGHTS AND DISPLAY MESSAGE INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON ARBITRARILY.

BRAKES DEPRESS MORE AND TAKE MORE PRESSURE TO BRAKE. 06/4/2018. CAR VIBRATES WHEN BRAKING OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR. BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS REPLACED 10/22/2016

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH SEVERAL LIGHTS, INCLUDING EMERGENCY, BRAKE AND ABS, AND A CHECK VSC SYSTEM INDICATION. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE AND CAREFULLY APPLY THE BRAKE AT SEVERAL INTERVALS TO STOP. THIS IS AN ONGOING AND KNOWN ABS ACTUATOR PROBLEM IN 07 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRIDS. THE TOYOTA DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE $3K COST TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR BECAUSE IT IS PAST THE 10 YEAR LIMIT. PLEASE EITHER ISSUE A RECALL OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR CONSUMERS.

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY BRAKE ACTUATOR IS FAILING. TOYOTA APPARENTLY ISSUED AN 'ENHANCED WARRANTY' RATHER THAN A RECALL TO FIX THIS KNOWN DEFECT DESPITE THE SAFETY RISKS FOR ALL DRIVERS IF ANOTHER DRIVER'S BRAKES FAIL. I AM UNDER THE MILEAGE BUT ABOUT A YEAR BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DATE. TOYOTA CORPORATE WILL NOT COVER THE FIX AND SAID THIS IS THEIR COMPANY POSITION. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL DRIVERS. (WHEN I BRAKE THE BRAKES MAKE A 'BARKING SOUND.' THIS IS WHAT PROMPTED GOING TO THE DEALER.)

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID STARTED EXPERIENCING AN ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON DASH, "CHECK VSC SYSTEM", ADDITIONALLY ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT THE END OF MARCH 2018. I HAVE AN OBD2 READER AND THE FAULT CODE WAS "C1391". I WAS ABLE TO ERASE THE CODE AND DASHBOARD RETURNED TO NORMAL BUT MESSAGE AND LIGHTS RETURN 2-3 DAYS LATER. IN MID-JUNE 2018 I TOOK THE CAMRY TO TOYOTA TO REPAIR IT. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ($109) TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY TOLD THEM REGARDING THE CODE. I KNEW THAT WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY PROBLEM. THEY GAVE ME A A QUOTE OF $1895 FOR PART AND TAX AND AN ADDITIONAL $340 PLUS TAX FOR LABOR. I PICKED UP MY CAR, DID NOT HAVE THE $2400 TO GET THE WORK DONE (PARTS ALSO WOULD TAKE 2 DAYS TO GET). THEY DID WARN...

FAULTY ABS ACTUATOR AND PUMP LEADING TO DIFFICULT BRAKING. PRIMING NOISE APPARENT DURING DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED. NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF SERVICE RECALL CAMPAIGN FROM TOYOTA A FEW YEARS BACK. SADLY, IT IS NOW A FEW MONTHS PAST THE 10-YEAR WARRANTY AND TOYOTA WILL NO LONGER SERVICE THE REPAIR.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID I HAVE HAD HIS CAR FOR 4 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH IT TILL YESTERDAY AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY ALL THE SUDDEN THIS LOUD BUZZING NOISE STARTED I TAPPED THE BRAKES AND HAD NO BRAKES I WAS GOING 55MPH AND HAD THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY LOL BRAKE I HAD TO SHIFT DOWN TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE WRECKED. THIS IS A FAULTY PART FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ABOUT AND IT'S SERIOUS ! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER IT'S THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND BRAKES ARE NEEDED ! MY CAR HAS OVER 150000 SO IT DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE SAFETY CAMPAIGN. ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE HAD TO BE A PROBLEM BEFORE IT COULD BE COVERED ! IF I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND A BEEPING SOUND WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (FOX TOYOTA, 228 FOX FAMILY LANE, CLINTON, TENNESSEE 37716) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS AWAITING REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE!!I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT WHEN MY BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND A LOT OF LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD, I COASTED TO A STOP LUCKILY WITHOUT HITTING ANOTHER CAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED, I HAVE NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING THERE IS OR WAS AN ISSUE AND I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC THAT IS TELLING ME THAT IT HAS A FAULTY BRAKE PART #4405030660. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND IT LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA SELLS AN UPDATED PART REPLACEMENT FOR THIS FAULTY ORIGINAL PART, PART COST IS $1200 PLUS $700 LABOR. READING MANY FORUMS I'M FINDING OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE OVER THE YEARS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND ID LOVE TO KNOW WHY THIS ISN'T A RECALL BUT A PUNISHMENT FROM TOYOTA...

ANTI LOCK BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 104,000 MILES. A WARNING LIGHT JUST CAME ON THE DASH AND WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THE FOLLOWING DAY. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVISES THERE IS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY HAVE ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. OUR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 10 YEARS AND 10 MONTHS AGO SO IT'S NOT COVERED, EVEN THOUGH OUR MILEAGE IS 2/3 OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL SINCE IT IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT A SPEED OF 35 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" LIGHT TURNED ON MY DASHBOARD AND THE BRAKE OF THE CAR BECAME LOOSE. WHEN I TRY TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN BY APPLYING THE BRAKE, IT WOULDN'T LET ME DO SO. I WAS APPROACHING THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE TOO HARD SO THAT THE CAR CAN STOP. FINALLY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT BY APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.

VSC SYSTEM SUDDENLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AND BREAKS WOULD NOT WORK
