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 ONE THROUGH JULY OF 2017. THE WOMAN I SPOKE TO INSISTED THAT SINCE THE CAR EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM "OUT OF WARRANTY" THERE IS NOTHING TOYOTA WAS WILLING TO DO.

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 REPLACED.

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 IDEAL IF TOYOTA WOULD FIX THIS PART SINCE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SINCE NO OTHER MAJOR PART OF THE CAR IS FAULTY, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAS ALMOST 200,000 MILES ON IT. I FEEL TOYOTA HAS PUT LIVES AT RISK BY NOT ACTIVELY PURSUING TO CONTACT OWNERS OF THIS MODEL VEHICLE SINCE THE PART THEY PUT ON THESE CARS IS SO FAULTY.

THE ENGINE STARTED TO BURN OIL EXCESSIVELY ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2013 AND NOW IN 2018 THERE ARE 2 CYLINDERS WITH LOW PRESSURE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE CAR IS NOT GIVING A CODE : CHECK VSC SYSTEM AND THE CAR CUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING, NO CONTROL OF BRAKES OR ACCELERATION, VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET AND THE CAR JUST CUT COMPLETELY OFF AND ALL LIGHTS AND BELLS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM ULTIMATELY BURNT THE ENGINE UP AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT REPAIR THE CAR.

TAKATA MY 2007 TOYOTA HYBRID HAS BEEN BEHAVING BADLY, WITH JUST 190K MILES.MY TRACTION BATTERY MONITOR WOULD SHOW 7 BARS FALLING TO 1 BAR INSTANTLY. INSTANTLY, AS I WOULD BE LOOKING AT IT AND IT JUST DROPPED THAT FAST. IT WOULD GET PARKED WITH A FULL CHARGE INDICATED AND THEN THE NEXT MORNING ONE BAR. SOMETIMES IT GOES INTO E MODE AND SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IVE BEEN CLOSE TO CRASH WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THE ECM THROWS A WARNING, "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM". I BORROWED AN ACTRON SCANNER THAT HAD THE CAPABILITY OF BASIC HYBRID CODES AND ONE CODE WAS PRESENT "P0A80". ALSO, CHECK VSC WOULD SHOW ALL THE TIMES. SOMEWHERE I READ THIS IS NORMAL WITH P0A80 AS THE ECM SHUTS DOWN THE VSC TO CONSERVE POWER..

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.
