The dashboard gauges suddenly drop dead. abs and brake light on. a/c is getting affected. all the needles start dancing. car starts shaking and getting warm. it comes and goes. similar year cars have the same complaint. apparently it has to do with the abs module short circuiting. this is a big life and safety concern and there should be a recal please. this happens anywhere and everywhere.

Not sure if this issue has been addressed, but i thought i would report my near miss. yesterday i did transmission flush on my 2009 camry. after completing the trasmission service, i had my wife start the car, so i could check the fluid level (per owners manual); my 17 month old baby boy was also was in the car. i removed the transmission dipstick and cleaned it off. as i reinserted the dipstick there was an array of sparkes coming from the dipstick. i removed the dipstick and inspected what had occurred. it appears during the process the positive terminal on my battery got slightly exposed and when i reinserted the dipstick it touched the positive terminal of my battery and was grounded by the dipstick tube. the dipstick sustained electrical damage to the areas where it contacted the battery and dipstick tube. luckily nothing caught fire during this incident, for my family was in the vehicle and the car was parked in my garage. i'm just passing my experience along. thank you,
Takata recall i never got notice that my 209 camry had a problem with the takata airbag. when checking you sight, the only place i can get it replaced is over 2 hours away from y home. i bought the vehicle new from sparks toyota in myrtle beach and should be able to get it repaired there!
Abs and brake light are on most of the time, rarely abs and brake light goes off. when abs and brake light are on, rpm and odometer go to zero, ac becomes warmer, sometimes engine cooling indicator also blinks. however, when abs and brake light go off, everything works perfectly. i took the car to dealer, spent around $350 to diagnose, they told me that i have to replace the ecm which will cost $3000. its really shocking
Problem description: 2009 toyota camry, brake light and abs turn on, rpm and speedometer stop working intermittently, and a/c also seems to work intermittently. it is the same issue shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdtgabjrfds it is dangerous because you have intermittent use of your dashboard sensors. the dealership wants to replace the entire abs hydraulic system for the cost of $3000. this seems to be a well documented problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. while driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator inadvertently illuminated and the horn inadvertently failed to function. in addition, when attempting to park and turning the steering wheel to the left, the vehicle veered to the right. both rear tires made a loud noise, the engine shook violently without warning, and the water hose detached and caused water to leak out. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the shocks were replaced, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
Motor oil is burning excessively i have to check the oil every weekend and the dealer says is normal, i think is not normal to keep adding oil when there is no leak. dashboard is practically melting it was reported back in may because in the summer time it gets very sticky the dealer says it will take months or a year before they could fix it. radio has a malfunction it was replaced back in 2014 because the screen turn black and not able to turn it on or off. in 2016 the radio is having problems again for the same reason and the dealer won't replace it anymore because the warranty is finished.
At start up the gauges started to work intermittently, after a while driving down the road they start working fine after a few miles they start jumping and falling. brake light and abs lights comes on and ac quits working we haven t drive the car since this started happening called the dealer and they told us to take to service, before that i will like to know if there's a recall for that. on the last service made by toyota dealer, they washed the engine, a practice that i am not agree, does that may be the cause? let me know, thanks *tr
Abs, a/c, and speedometer stopped working. had to replace abs module/actuator for a cost of $2,156.65! car only had been driven 71,779 miles. i understand that the toyota highlander had a recall for the same issue and there have been numerous complaints about this problem on the internet. toyota will not reimburse me for this safety issue because i didn"t have the repair work done at a dealer even though the part was obtained from the dealer.
i started to back out of the parking spot at the hotel i was staying to go out for dinner with my friends, i release the brakes and put the car in reverse. then all of sudden the dash board lighted up then disappeared briefly when i put it in forward. as i was driving away from the hotel the lights on the dash board was lighted again. then as i proceed to get on the freeway the dashboard lit up with warning check vsc system. (the hotel to the freeway ramp was a block away) i was driving in the right hand lane for several miles on the 580, because i noticed the brakes felt weird. the lights on the dash board remained lighted. the red indicator light for my brakes were on indicating the brakes were not released, but it was. at this point i was tensed and scared as i drove on the 580 freeway. i exited off the freeway slower than normal and i would press down on the brakes lightly and it would jerk and rock. it would bounce myself and friends in a rocking motion. we were all scared ...
