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.

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.

Driving on a highway at 70mph when the dashboard lit up with several lights, including emergency, brake and ABS, and a check vsc system indication. Luckily, I was able to cruise and carefully apply the brake at several intervals to stop. This is an ongoing and known ABS actuator problem in 07 toyota camry hybrids. The toyota dealer will not cover the $3k cost to replace the actuator because it is past the 10 year limit. Please either issue a recall or extend the warranty. This is not safe for consumers.

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.

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.

I needed to slow for traffic congestion. I applied the brakes, but they didn't seem to work. Several lights on the dash came on including the check hybrid engine, the check vsc system, and the ABS lights. The power brakes were off and it became difficult to stop. Then the vehicle's engine stopped completely requiring me to maneuver out of heavy traffic to the shoulder of the road. I turned the car off and waited 10 minutes. I was able to drive the car to a toyota dealer who said sometimes this happens if gas cap is loose. I was told I could leave and they would troubleshoot for a couple of hours and a couple hundred dollars. I left and conducted my own troubleshooting on google and sounds like a brake actuator problem due to similar issues with other owners. Toyota has a know issue with this vehicle and needs to make amends. Please advise.

"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.

As I was traveling on i75 north of atlanta, I needed to slow for traffic congestion. I applied the brakes, but they didn't seem to work. Several lights on the dash came on including the check hybrid engine, the check vsc system, and the ABS lights. The power brakes were off and it became difficult to stop. Then the vehicle's engine stopped completely requiring me to maneuver out of heavy traffic to the shoulder of the road. I turned on my hazard lights, but was almost hit by several vehicles as I got to the shoulder.

Car brake fails with multiple lights on. ( vsc system check , ABS , brake , etc ) it was repaired by toyota dealer under "toyota recall" program for "brake-fluid problem" . But they didn't repair " ABS actuator" under warranty enhancement program (ze1). & manager said your VIN is/was not eligible for ze1. I looked into "ze1" program, http://www-odi.the federal safety agency.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/ucm458138/inot-pe14001-59690.pdf but I don't see my VIN in the range provided., not sure why. Since my car is 2007 camry hybrid, it should be part of that recall also. This is life threatening situation where your car breaks fail all of sudden on highways. These cars should be recalled or atleast get repaired at toyota's cost.
