Abs actuator failed for no apparent reason. many warning lights came on suddenly while normal driving. the lights included slippage, abs, check vsc, and emergency break. the break action response was diminished. this is a known problem to toyota, and they extended the warranty, but ours is beyond the new extension window. cost to repair is $1,600
I was driving at about 25mph on montgomery drive in philadelphia (city street) in the morning of 12/9/2019. it was raining lightly. the car in front of me was about 4 to 5 car-lengths ahead. it braked as another car tried to cut in, and i also immediately braked. my brake felt grinding and my car continued to slide into the back of the car in front of me.
Driving on street approaching an intersection where i was turning left and had a green light when the abs/esc lights on the dash turned on and brakes stopped working. this caused me to roll through the intersection and almost cause an accident. had to stop by rolling into curb. found the brakes do work somewhat now but are dangerously weak.
3 different concerns issue #1: while in motion the abs and brake light come on, speedometer goes to 0, other gauges go crazy. happens off and on throughout the day while driving. took it to a mechanic, they said it is the abs module going out, to fix it with a brand new part would be $1800. not only is it dangerous to not be able to see my speed, its a possibility my abs wouldn't kick in if needed. regular brakes work fine.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. while driving 35 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle would not stop. the emergency brake had to be applied to stop the vehicle. in addition, the check engine and brake warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to autonation toyota weston (4050 weston rd, davie, fl 33331, (954) 644-4867) where it was repaired per technical service bulletin nhtsa id number: 10132793 (electronic stability control, service brakes). the brake actuator assembly was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
2007 toyota camry hybrid brake actuator failure. toyota enhanced warranty extended the manufacturing defect for both time and mileage. the time frame has expired but the mileage allotment was not even close to end (only 103,000 miles on car). this defect should have been a recall since this is a common issue to numerous toyota camry's. they issued the enhanced warranty to reduce the financial burden of a recall and limit the number of complaints by only assisting owners who experienced this brake failure during their time frame. i am a senior who only drives the car to the grocery store. when returning from shopping, all the brake and anti skid lights lit up and we took the car straight home. we then took car to dealership the next day. i am being penalized because i am a senior who does not use their car excessively. the enhanced warranty time frame has expired, but the mileage allotment was not even close. this is a manufacturing defect and the car should have been recalled years ago.

The brake lights systems and abs lights comes out as i start the car and all gauges stop working, the ac don't work when this happens. i can't tell how fast im going because the speedometer gauge failed to provide the correct reading, the abs control module and emergency warning indicator illuminates on the screen. this happens while i am driving, it does ramdonly and now is more frecuently.
My wife was driving to work the check engine light, vsc light and abs lights appeared on the dashboard. then the brakes were really mushy and it took a lot of force to stop the car. she pulled over and turned the car off. when she restarted the car the lights were still on. she was able to slowly drive back home.
My 2007 toyota camry se v6 brakes failed to deploy. on my way home from work, i pressed the brake pedal to stop at a red light, no brakes! i pumped the brakes and all i heard was hissing air sound. i believe it is the brake booster from the numerous complaints describing the same issue. i had no warning lights of any kind. this could have been a life ending event. toyota needs to correct this issue. where is the recall?
