I was driving on a residential street and my brake pedal got stiff and then got soft and I couldn't stop. I pushed the pedal hard and almost hit the car in front of me and then I felt a hard clack and it felt like I was hit or like I hit something. A loud high pitched beep continuously sounded until I turned off the car. All of my dashboard lights came on. And a continuous winding sound is coming from the abs pump.
2007 Toyota Camry brakes complaints
Page 2 of 12: complaints 11 to 40 of 316, newest first, as owners wrote them.
ABS Brake Actuator failed, this malfunction came out of nowhere, making me unable to stop my car and putting my life at risk. I have not seen any official recall on this from Toyota, but I’ve seen many people have this same specific issues on Toyota forums. The ABS, brake, and slip light came on all at once while my car made a continuous beeping sound. This all happened as my brakes went out.
ABS Module failure. This system keeps crashing despite having replaced the issue before. Please force Toyota to do a recall
Had the vehicle progressively speed up at a high rate of speed was not due to the floor mats as that had been fixed along time ago on a recall before . I had to throw the car in neutral and then push the brake and power button for the vehicle to slow down safely ( happened twice ) . Both times not back to back on occasions months in between . Then one day had issues with the brakes and the vehicle not wanting to stop had the issue looked at by certified mechanic said my physical brakes on all sides front and back were visible sound and nothing to be causing the issue I was having . Just the other day started the vehicle as normal it warmed up went thru my day and then my radio still visible but sayin INSERT MAPS DVD ( that’s the only thing it would say or do ) then the vehicle after turning it off says CHECK VSC SYSTEM ( had certified mechanic ) come to home to inspect vehicle for issues ( car no longer showed this on dash) started as normal then next day while driving no brakes red triangle of death came up said CHECK VSC again and brakes failed and I nearly rear ended someone thank god avoided the accident car then shut off ( car restarted then triangle once more immediately shut off ) car starts high idle brakes hard to push on Mechanic says it’s a faulty issue with harness or abs pump and ECM components which may be causing the battery failure I’ve had multiple times and that the vehicle isn’t safe to drive due to this issue .
The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 43 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that excessive force was used to depress the brake pedal causing the vehicle to fishtail while coming to a stop. The brake system warning light and the ABS warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who retrieved a fault code for the ABS control module; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The contact was advised to file a complaint with the federal safety agency Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 124,236.
Dash cluster showed brake light and BAS light on, tachometer and speedometer dropped to zero while going approx. 40 MPH.
On the dashboard there is “check VSC system” and then the ABS and brake symbols. Took it at the Toyota dealer for a diagnostic and said brake actuator needed to be replaced.
when driving both of ABS & Break dashboard warning lights are on, RPM meter will go up & down, temperature gage is down. Unable to be certain the vehicle safe to be operation.
My abs pump failed causing my brakes to lock up and totaled my car
My brake pedal when depressed, when stopped, makes a loud noise. My car cycles a buzzing sound often, even when the brakes are not depressed. My warning lights : check VSC system, ABS , warning triangle, a circle with and exclamation point and brake, all are continuing to light up on my dash. I took it to the dealer. Code C1391 (ABS ACRTUATOR INTERNAL FAILURE). This is serious and can cause my brakes and steering control to fail. The manufacturer warranty has expired.
Was driving an it made a noise then the brake light abs light an vcs light came on at the same time an I see on here where some people have the same problem with the same car so what do I need to do about it
Abs module is making a lot of noise at all time while vehicle is on and now it’s harder to brake abs modules is failing.
brake pedal is hard to press, speed odmeter does not work, safty belt warraning light does not work, ABS dash light stays on.
My car has a mileage of about 178K and just recently got a "Check VSC System" which apparently affects brakes and also manages stability in case of hazardous road conditions. Across the internet, people also have reported the same issue and in some cases, people have had brakes locking up once this warning came up. Per a recall from Toyota, this is being fixed by the manufacturer only within a certain date and mileage and I dont fall into either of these criteria. The part itself is very expensive to afford right now...would be appreciative if the manufacturer can provide a way to fix this for a nominal cost or for free.

I had a rollover accident in my Camry on 5/13/2021. My brakes locked up which sent me into a spin and then eventually flipping over an embankment. Only one of my airbags deployed and it was the passenger door airbag. The rest of the airbags did not go off. Yes the vehicle is still available for inspection. My safety was put at risk because of the brake malfunction and subsequently because of the airbags not deploying in the manner they are aupoosed to. I rolled the vehicle I'm sure the manner in which h I wrecked would have caused all airbags to deploy. No I never seen a brake or a airbag light on my dashboard. No one else has inspected the vehicle components other than an insurance claims rep to determine my vehicle is a total loss. I'm unsure on who I could have look at it without compromising the integrity of the findings. The brakes however were worked on by jd byrider a week and a half before the accident. They changed my rotors.
Vsc check system is on at all times and my car doesn't start at all.
Car has abc light on vsc system warning light, hard break, break stop working noise sound. Replaced in 2014 and now defective again
At motion car start to make a noise and the ABS and vcs lights appeared. Then suddenly the car stopped. It happens a couple of times while is in motion.
Brakes gave out while on freeway. Extremely limited capability to break it took several seconds for car to stop.
Abs light is on, speedometer is not working and car will stop running while being driven. Vehicle was in motion when this occurred on a highway.
Had actuator on 2007 camry hybrid replaced at 82,000 miles again at 127,000 miles and needs to be replaced again at 154,000 miles and toyota will not assist with the $1600.00 the dealer wants to replaced the same defective part from the factory.
While driving 25 MPH came to a red light. Suddenly the brake pedal was very soft and difficult- stopping ability with great pressure applied and long distance to stop- but able to stop. Then a loud bang and the pedal went to normal. Vsc code appeared in middle of display and brake traction control and ABS lights came on.
Brake aculator malfunction driving on highway brake wouldn't stop
I got in my car to go to work yesterday morning and my car spead up to fast I wasnt on my gas cuz I live in a town n have a short driveway. So I go to put on my breaks n I couldn't stop its like there was no brakes. So I let off n slamed on them again befor I hit the road n I stoped barrly out in the road. My break light then was on.

At less than 80,000 miles the ABS system failed. Warranty would not cover it. We replaced the unit, but last week the vsc warning lit up again. The ABS system has failed again. The vehicle now was 122,226 miles.
Car had vsc system replaced due to recall a few years ago. Having issues again with vsc system light coming on, ABS light and brake light while the car was being driven under normal conditions.
Vsc, ABS, air lights are on. Makes a peak sound when I start my car. It stays for a long time and goes away. During this time break does not work as normal. Feels hard to press break and unable to stop the car. Yesterday when I'm driving suddenly sound came on and I was unable to stop the car as I normally can. When I try to press the break. Break does not apply.
The ABS sensor/module has gone out again. I spent several thousands in repairs and diagnostics years ago for the same issue. Now it has gone crazy again. The dash has been replaced due to being sticky. The car itself burns oil, we are constantly checking and adding to it. It seems several have had these issues and toyota should be fixing them.
I can not brake this car, this car suddenly moves forward violently when I urgently pedal down to stop it nearby our downtown. The ABS system alarm appeared too, some noise occurred to ABS assembly module.the vsc system appeared sometimes before this case happened on 5/13/2020, but not too often. I also had some mechanical auto-engineer(brake xpress auto-shop) check if anything mechanical issue happened to the brake hardware, but not problem to find out. I towed this car to toyota dealership, but toyota refused to recall it and said this care is out of their warranty service (it hits 13 years old and passed over 200,000 miles).I think toyota had responsibility to care the safety systems and recall all risky cars which had safety system issue.please kindly help to deal this issue or advise if you can, thank you so much.
