The brake light, traction control and ABS lights turned on, and check vsc system displayed. Vehicle has been maintained correctly. I was on the hwy going 65 MPH, in my 2007 camry hybrid when this happened, totally lost power, I was able to pill over to the side road call for help. This is a ridiculous situation for an automobile. I feel like the public is being used like test dummies by toyota.

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.

My 2007 camry hybrid had a high level of oil consumption from the time I bought it.... When I would take it to get oil changes there would be no advising of a leak, so while I thought it to be very odd and inconvenient I continued to top off my vehicle , as frequently as my check engine oil light came on. On july 26,2017. My "car maintenance required" light came on I told myself I'd go to the mechanic on that weekend which was only a couple days away. Only july 27,2017 on my way to work I started to hear a very loud knocking noise. I had no clue what the noise was but I pulled into an auto zone and popped the hood. It was the engine that was knocking very loudly. I turned the car off and I checked the oil. The dipstick was bone dry. Where did 5 quarts of oil go in less then 3,000 miles of driving? Why was there no engine oil low warning on my car? I took the car to a shop where my engine was pronounced dead, which toyota charged me $115.00 to diagnose. There was an extended warranty on this vehicle because these models were notorious for drinking up oil and I had no idea about it. The toyota rep said there was letters sent out before the extended warranty expired to the previous owner. I had no idea this was a known issue! There were no letters mailed to me and I purchased the vehicle right around the exact same time the extended warranty expired. The toyota mechanic said I have to find a way to pay for the repair and a rebuild engine is $5,000 or I can buy a brand new engine for 12,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!the only reason I decided to purchase a toyota was because of how they're well known for lasting forever. How was a supposed to know about this situation? And I am very disappointed. This is ridiculous and I hope they plan to rectify the situation. If the engine had given out while I was on the highway, I could have lost my life

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.

Vehicle has problem with excessive oil consumption. Low engine oil indicator on despite oil being in the system. I have been in contact with the dealer, and toyota customer service, because I did not receive notification and that the problem occurred after the time period that they gave for remediation, they can do nothing. I have had to park this vehicle because it is said that the engine could seize, at any time, creating a safety hazard.
