2009 Toyota Camry brakes problems

Filed Jan 18, 2025 · Brakes, Engine · IL

I have 2009 Toyota Camry LE, the problem is engine oil, if I changed/filled the engine oil in certified stores, but after 400 miles the engine oil is not in the engine chamber I checked the leaks or any other sort of damage but there's nothing like that I verified the same thing with the dealership too. Basically my point is due to extensive consumption of engine oil the engine will brake in the middle of driving and there are chances it will explode and there's a DANGER while driving the car it's like pulled the granite pin and sit above it. And due to this the braking system will fail and the person loose his life and the dependses will be suffered a lot. Please look at this issue. Thank you.

Dear, I am writing to formally document a complaint regarding the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) warning lights actuator in my 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid, I noticed an issue with the ABS system, which prompted the activation of the warning lights on my vehicle’s dashboard. The problem I encountered involves the following: 1. ABS Warning Lights: The ABS warning lights, including the ABS indicator and the brake system warning light, suddenly illuminated on the dashboard without any prior warning or indication of an issue. 2. Braking Performance: Subsequent to the illumination of the warning lights, I noticed a significant decrease in the vehicle’s braking performance, especially during emergency stops and when driving on slippery or wet surfaces. This issue presents a serious safety concern as it impacts the vehicle’s ability to maintain safe braking in various conditions. confirming the ABS actuator as the likely source of the problem. I kindly request that this complaint be addressed promptly, as I believe that a malfunctioning ABS system poses a substantial safety risk to both the driver and other road users. I trust that Toyota’s commitment to customer safety and satisfaction will lead to a quick resolution of this matter. Please contact me at [XXX] or [XXX] to schedule the necessary repairs or to discuss any additional information required. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to this pressing issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The ABS light came on and there was this high-pitched beeping noise that would not stop as I was driving, when I tried to press the brakes I noticed that it was barely working and had to pull over on the side. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I could barely brake as my brakes felt as if they were hard to press which could have led to an accident. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The traction control light came on a few days prior and a few other related lights that could have been related to the abs. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No

I own a 2009 Toyota Camry the brake light abs light speedometer engine temp and rpm gauge all stop working or go crazy at random times, as well as my air conditioner when this happens. I have done some research and this is a reaccuring problem in many of the 2007-2009 Toyota models. I have also read that many have had oil consumption problems with this year also. I literally have to put atleast a quart in my motor every week or other week. No need for.an oil change when I’m consuming the new clean oil I’m putting in regularly. As far as the brake lights I replaced the entire brake module assembly with another one I got at junk yard. Problem was only fixed for 2 days and I’m back to square one. Their should be a recall on the brake system if this is a reaccurring issue with these cars.

The BRAKE & ABS lights started coming on although there was no apparent problem. Then, when those lights illuminate on the instrument panel, the speedometer & tachometer stop working. Often, the needles will bounce or they will just set at zero. This can occur at any speed & on all road conditions. This does not affect cruise control in anyway. I can set & stop the cruise control at any time. Eventually, it starts working again but it is totally random. Now, the Air Conditioning stops working when the ABS & BRAKE lights are on. The High Beam instrument panel lights are also affected. The headlights work but the instrument panel does not always reflect this or it shows that High Beams are on when they are not & vice versa. My mechanic could not identify the source of the problem. My research shows that the ABS Module is defective & the problem occurs in 2007-2009 Camrys. Apparently, this problem can be bypassed by disengaging the ABS Module, but obviously, that creates other issues. I have video of this activity but I am unable to upload it here.

The ABS light came on, the actuator pump makes loud noises and brakes don’t function correctly. Faulty braking system that causes the brakes to lock up. Been doing off and on for a few years. Toyota issues a service announcement but don’t see a recall.

Vsc warning appeared on dashboard. Abs warning light and ps light is on too. I had the ABS actuator replaced in february 2019 when the vsc warning first appeared. I am having the same issue plus the power steering warning light. Vehicle was parked at the store, when I returned to my car and turned car on, the lights started flashing and will not turn off.

We are having a problem with the brake actuator assembly on our toyota camry hybrid and it needs to be replaced. Per this article, we found that there was a defect in the brake actuators that toyota had promised to cover: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/feds-close-probe-into-2007-11-toyota-camry-hybrid-for-power-braking-concerns.html toyota is refusing to cover the cost of replacing the brake actuator on our car, despite agreeing to condition with federal regulators. Our car has been deemed unsafe to drive until this repair is made, leaving us in a precarious situation.

While driving, my brakes have gone out (as in I have no brakes) several times intermittently. At the same time my (ABS, check vsc system) light illuminate and my brake light is always illuminated. I very carefully drove it home and was forced to purchase another vehicle until I can figure out what to fix.
