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
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.
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.
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 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
My car has all of the light on dashboard is on and on screen it says "check vsc system"
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
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 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.
While driving i saw check vsc system lights come up and it off after some time
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
Check vsc system lights comes on and car stops on road. restarts after powering off and on.
Got warning check vsc system and all abs, engine, brake lights are on
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.
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
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.
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.
Faulty abs controller affecting everything from the battery charging, ac, abs and vsc control system worse case causing brakes to fail.
While driving down a busy city street the 'check vsc system' message suddenly appeared along with many other warning lights on the dash and a warning sound. braking and steering became very difficult. luckily, i was able to pull over into a parking lot and get out of traffic. my car has had every manufacturer scheduled maintenance service performed for the life of the car.
I was driving from delaware to philadelphia on a rainy day and suddenly the light of the break, abs and stability light come up. also there is a message telling to check vsc system. i pulled over and started the car again and nothing happened . i'm scare to drive the car on his condition since i'm pregnant.
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.
The vsc warning system came on including several warning lights. the abs actuator failed. i am told this is a known issue but is out of warranty and the repair is $1500-$2000. this should have been recalled.
The hybrid batterie is not responding with the cars velocity. it turns off in the miďdle of my trip. i worry for my saftey and my families bcus i fear to have an accident due to that reason
Abs actuator extended warranties, in 2014 my car had two issues with the abs actuator and my dealership was unable to get the diagnostic code from them. now my car is displaying "check vsc system" and many lights on my dash. when i brought it in to my toyota dealership they said it is the abs actuator and it needs to be replaced. toyota had 2 extended warranties for trouble with the abs actuator. both of these warranties have now expired so my abs actuator cannot be fixed under the extended warranties. because of this faulty part at anytime i am driving i can lose braking and steering power. i had filed a complaint before with your agency for this exact issue but there was no way for me to have the part changed when the extended warranties were in-force because the problem did not occur and as i said earlier my dealership could not get the diagnostic code from the first time these issues occurred.
Abs actuator toyota knows there is an issue with the 2007 camry hybrid abs actuator, my dealership informed me 10/23/2017 that my abs actuator is going out. if this happens it will be hard to stop and or steer my car which is a very dangerous situation. i want to be sure this issue has been lodged with the nhtsa.
When i start the car brake light is on and after few minutes message comes as check vsc system and its not going away.
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!
The vsc system is out and no one know how to fix it even the dealer it not showing up on the scanners .i was on the freeway the car lights con on on dash. no breaks it was scary i didn't know what to do if a. next car or cars was infrount of me i will have been real hurt because i was going 60 to 65 mph i had no control. of the car can you all look into a recall on this before someone get kill !!!i was locky i was calm not everyone will be calm....takata recall...
Vehicle was stationary with the engine on. in 2014 toyota issued a warranty enhancement notification - ze1 for the brake actuator assembly issue. i took my car to the dealership and the problem was corrected. a month ago (2 years later) the same exact symptoms occurred (same 5 warning lights). i called toyota and they said since my vehicle was already corrected, the warranty enhancement ze1 no longer applied. seems to be a recurrent problem that toyota should warranty.
Abs actuator has failed. several lights are on and the brakes are failing.
My car camry hybrid 2007 have all light on: master warning light, brake warning light, controlled brake warning, anti-lock brake system, slip indicator light. also the brake is so hard that i was close to hit car, i call toyota in orlando,florida but they toll me they don't have any recall and normally is ecu pedal stroke sensor and abs module system, both parts cost is $3,500.
I was driving on the free way the first time this event happened to me. my brake light came on indicating that my brake was on i pulled over to check it and my brake was off. when i went back on the freeway all of my warning lights turned on and it was very hard to brake i had to press the brake pedal really hard to even get my car to stop. the warning lights will stay on for about 10 minutes or so and then the brakes lock and come to a sudden stop. i took it to the toyota dealership who sold me my car and they ran a diagnostic and could not find anything. the second time this happened to me it became quite dangerous. the brake light came on again while i was on the freeway going 65 (the speed limit). i was being very cautious with my car since that happened. all of the warning lights came on again. i was on a freeway ramp merging to get onto a different free way section. i could not brake to slow down. finally when i pushed the pedal hard enough my brakes locked and i did a 360 almost hitting two cars passing me. my car is at the toyota dealership right now they do not know how to fix it. i don't feel safe driving my car like this after it did the 360 at 60 mph. please help i submitted pictures of all the lights that come on the picture is missing the abs but the abs light comes on as well. i also submitted what i think is the problem also. *tr
On 2 occassions our 2007 toyota camry hybrid lost braking power. dash board lights abs, vsc and brake light all came on. when brakes were used, car had very little to no braking power.
My car has hit 171073 and is the 2nd time or 3 time that saids "check vsc system"and my stability control is notbworking propertly the dealer said is something normal with this year mkd and model of the car please help.
Warning signs appeared on dash and the car was taken to a local dealership for diagnostic. upon diagnostic, the dealership advised to change the hybrid battery to fix the problem. took the car to the local hybrid battery expert and found that the battery was operating normal. took the car to another dealership and they advised abs actuator was faulty. toyota acknowledged using the faulty abs actuator and was offering free replacement for vehicles under 150k. the car just passed 160k and the service was denied. the car has been serviced by the local toyota dealership for regular mainteinance and they should have been instructed to inform the customers of possible danger of faulty abs actuator. the owner of the vehicle was never informed when the car was in for services at the dealership.
Brakes went soft, loud squealing noise all lights on dashboard and check vsc system
Two warning signals appeared immediately after starting the car. 1. "check vsc system" 2. "check hybrid system" the warning message are on constantly. the hybrid system does not engage at all. the braking system does not stop the car as normal. extra pressure is required to slow the vehicle.
After swerving/braking to avoid collision in intersection, vehicle dash warning indicators for brake, abs, and check vsc all illuminated. was able to continue driving to destination while braking cautiously and took car to toyota dealer the next day. dealer confirmed the abs actuator needed to be replaced and that the car was unsafe to drive without spending the $2000+ (i was 700 miles over the warranty enhancement end date) to fix it. after reviewing the maintenance records on my vehicle, this will be the 3rd brake actuator in this vehicle. how can a manufacturer acknowledge an issue with a critical system like this, but get away without a recall? an investigation into the mean time between failure of a critical safety system such as this needs to be undertaken as this is criminal.
Was driving, and hybrid system check light came on...continued driving slowly then car lost a bit of power..like parking break was on and vcs failure light came on. drove home after with hybrid system check still on.
The toyota warranty enhancement propgram (ze1) is a sham. my 2007 camry hybrid has no brakes, no skid control, and goes on and off without warning. i took my car to peruzzi toyota in hatfield pa while it was "under extended warranty" and they failed to diagnose the problem, because the warning lights go on and off. i showed picture of the lights on, and followed totyoa recommended procedures on the ze1 issue. i took it back later to same dealer and the lights stayed on, and they said yes it is part of the ze1 warranty but now it is past the time limit. this is a known issue, toyota is shirking their responsibilities but not issuing a recall. the car is defective, dangerous, and at $1500 plus in need of repairs. the problem can happen stationary, moving or failing to stop!
While my car was in motion, my vsc system check light was on and almost simultaneously the check hybrid system light was on along with the check engine light. the car did not let me accelerate above 30mph.n and i could feel the friction while accelerating. i had to call roadside assistance to have my car towed.
I have a 2007 toyota camry hybrid with 152850 miles. this happened yesterday (2/24/2016). it was parked and when i started the vehicle this message immediately showed up along with 4 lights turned on. 1 - check vsc system 2 - red "brake" indicator (brake system warning light) 3 - yellow indicator (brake system warning light) 4 - master warning light 5 - abs indicator light the brake oil is full. i felt like its taking longer time to stop. also unlike before sometimes have to press the brake all the way to the floor.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry hybrid. while driving at 40 mph, the check vsc warning light illuminated and the vehicle experienced brake failure. the contact stated that the vehicle required additional braking distance to stop the vehicle, with extreme pressure being exerted on the brake pedal. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 116,000.
I was driving about 45 mph when the break light lit up on the dash. within a minute after the abs light came on along with check parking break and check vsc sytem and the general hazard light all were on. i tried to break and pull over and when i did i realize i could not stop. the assist breaks had been completely disabled and i had to push very very hard to slow down. i had to also use the parking break to assist me . when i turned the car off and back on again the breaks are back as if nothing was wrong. this has happened a few times each with a very frightening without warning experience. my mechanic says there are no codes showing what is happening. this has the potential to kill someone. especially a new driver or an elderly person that simply would not have the great deal of power needed or the reflexes to slow down when the system malfunctions. this should be a recall!!
Check vsc system when i took my car out this morning, i got a warning light saying "check vsc system". my brake light and abs lights are also on. the car brakes with a jerk and i am scared to drive it. this problem has been happening quite often. complaints to the toyota dealer did not help. as per http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news/feds-investigate-braking-problems-in-toyota-camry-hybrid-012814.html a lot of people are experiencing the same problem and have complained to nhtsa. please help with a recall as it is unsafe to drive the car this way.
I was driving when the check vsc warning came on as well as the indicator warning light, the brake warning light, the abs warning light and the vsc warning light. all the lights remained on until i reached my destination. the brake system made a strange "grunting" noise when the brakes were depressed but the brakes seemed to function properly. the lights came back on when the car was restarted and less than halfway on the return trip, went off. there has been no noticeable loss of braking. on the 21st of the month the lights came back on and have not gone off. the abs pump actuator appears to be cycling very quickly.
Check vsc system comes on, the brake becomes very hard and lights such as abs and others come up on the dashboard while in motion.
