5/13/2015: 2007 toyota camry. vsc (vehicle stability control) light came on (5/9/2015). it was very difficult to stop the vehicle. had to floor the brakes in order to stop the vehicle. the steering was all over the place, not tight with the steering wheel movements. brought it to the dealership (new country toyota of clifton park, ny) where we bought it 9 months ago and they said this is a common part that fails. if this is true, there should be a recall...this is a huge safety issue. i am thankful that my son didn't get in an accident. they now want $2500 to repair it. when we purchased this vehicle for our son 9 months ago, they said that we can get 250,000 miles out of it, it was a very safe car for our son to be in....i beg to differ!!! i see lots of complaints listed for this electronic stability contol and hope there will be a recall.

The car pulls to the left or right and there is alot of play in the steering wheel, and occasionally the wheel will jerk slightly. there is a popping/ knocking in the wheels and steering wheel. i have taken it to get an alignment twice and was told that it is not the alignment. put new brakes and rotors on the front. did some research and found that this was a recall on this model of vehicle, ran a vin number check and my car did not show up with having a recall. called toyota and asked about a recall for the steering. toyota stated that because my vin number did not show up as a recall for this problem that there was nothing they could help me with. also see that there was a recall or complaint about the transmission. i really think that if there was a history of recalls for this make and model that toyota should still check this out for free and fix the problem. just because the vin number is not showing up as being recalled doesn't mean that this can not happen. i have only had the car 2 weeks and have not ...
