I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE VSC WARNING CAME ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL ALONG WITH THE PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY HESITATION IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. SINCE I WAS ON A TRIP HOME, I CONTINUED MY TRIP. THROUGHOUT THE TRIP I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKING BECAME MORE DIFFICULT, IN THAT I HAD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A LEAK IN THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. THEY QUOTED ME A $3000 COST ESTIMATE AND INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABLE BRAKING. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM THAT MANY CAMRY HYBRID OWNERS ARE HAVING. I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE ARRIVED HOME SAFELY! *TR

PURCHASED 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ON 2/19/14. ON 2/22/14 I WAS DRIVING 52 MPH ON A FREEWAY AT 0 GRADE WHEN CHECK VSC SYSTEM NOTIFICATION, ABS, BRAKE, MASTER WARNING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK ADEQUATELY WHEN DEPRESSED TO STOP. I HAD TO DEPRESS FULLY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT ALSO TOOK OVER 80 YARDS TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. I CRUISED THROUGH A RED LIGHT DUE TO THIS-I AM VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE, KILLED. VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND IS NOT DRIVEN. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS DANGER TO LIFE. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DRIVING APPROX 40 MILES PER HOUR, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH SAYS "CHECK VSC SYSTEM",RED BRAKE LIGHT TURNS ON,ABS LIGHT TURNS ON AND LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT TURNS ON.I IMMEDIATELY CHECK MY BRAKES,I HAVE NO BRAKES! I JUST KEPT PUMPING TRYING TO GET ANYTHING OUT OF THEM. I STARTED MOVING OVER TO MY RIGHT (NEARLY SIDE SWIPED A CAR) AND PULLED INTO A STRIP MALL.AFTER CALMING DOWN,I DROVE SLOWLY AROUND THE PARKING LOT TO SEE IF I HAD BRAKES. ALL OF THE LIGHTS STAYED ON BUT MY BRAKES WERE BACK,I CONTINUED THE LAST MILE TO WORK. AT THIS POINT, AS I USED THE BRAKES, MY ROTORS FELT EXTREMELY WARPED. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, I FOUND TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, "C1391". I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER,EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WHAT I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE,HE TOOK MY VIN# AND GAVE ME A QUOTE OF $3200 TO REPAIR. AT THAT POINT,I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICES AND FILED A COMPLAINT,THEY DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE IF ANY OF THE ISSUE WAS A RECALL,OF COURSE IT WASN'T. I TOLD THE GUY THAT I GUESS IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE A RECALL THERE NEEDS TO BE AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF ACCIDENTS TO OCCUR,OR PEOPLE NEED TO DIE,OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. HE TOOK DOWN ALL OF MY INFO,TOLD ME I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO TOYOTA TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THEN TO CALL THE TOYOTA"OUT OF WARRANTY ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT" FOR POSSIBLE HELP WITH THE BILL. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA,IT WAS DIAGNOSED JUST AS ALL OF THE OTHER CARS I READ ABOUT WERE "C1391" INTERNAL ABNORMAL LEAK WITH THE BREAK ACTUATOR. BETWEEN TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE AND TOYOTA THEY WERE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT WITH SOME OF THE BILL EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IT WASN'T COMPLETELY COVERED IN THE LEAST BIT, BUT IT MADE IT A LITTLE MORE MANAGEABLE. *TR

BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I COASTED TO A STOP. I HELD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. IT WAS A LIGHT RAIN ON A CONCRETE ROAD. THE DASH BOARD LITE UP WITH A WARNING CHECK VSC SYSTEM. IT ONLY HAPPEN THAT ONE TIME. AS I DROVE OFF AFTER THE EVENT, I HEARD AN UNFAMILIAR SOUND AND I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE HOME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS WORKING NORMAL AGAIN. THE DASH BOARD WARNING SIGN WENT OUT AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PROCEEDED FORWARD. SINCE THAT ONE EVENT I HAVE NEVER HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT. IN THE USA TODAY ON 1/28/14 I READ THE ARTICLE ABOUT THE POWER-ASSIST BRAKES IN 2007 & 2008 CAMRY HYBRIDS. AFTER DISCUSSING THE ARTICLE WITH MY FAMILY (WHO ALSO HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE); THEY REPORTED NO SUCH INCIDENT. ON THEIR ADVISE, I TOOK MY CAR TO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETECT OR DUPLICATE THE SAME BRAKING EVENT. IT WAS TEST DRIVEN AND COMPUTER SYSTEM CHECKED. IT'S IN MY CAR HISTORY AND THE DEALER ASKED ME TO NOTIFY YOU FOR REFERENCE. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN IT STAYED ON AND WHEN I GOT ON THE ROAD, I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THE NEXT TIME, IT DID THE SAME THING AND AFTER DRIVING A WHILE IT WILL JUST RELEASE AND THE BRAKES WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS OFF. THE NEXT TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON I BROUGHT IT BACK BUT BY THE TIME THEY GOT THE CAR TO THE BACK TO TEST, THE LIGHT WAS OFF AGAIN AND THEY CAN'T GET THE COMPUTER PROGRAM TO GIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME, I BROUGHT IT IN AND HE CAME TO THE LANE AND TESTED IT AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE BRAKE SYSTEM ACCUATOR, LIKE SO MANY OTHERS I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP, I'M AFRAID I MAY BE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING A FASTER SPEED WHEN IT HAPPENS AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR HAS DISENGAGED THE AIR BAGS SO IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT ENGAGE, WHICH IS ANOTHER CONCERN. $2200.00 TO REPAIR, NEARLY 10% OF THE COST OF WHAT I PAID FOR THE CAR. I DRIVE TWO TEENAGE GIRLS, MY DAUGHTER AND AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT WHO RESIDES WITH US AND I WORRY CONSTANTLY ABOUT THE BRAKES FAILING WHILE WE ARE DRIVING DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE THAT I FEEL LIKE TOYOTA SHOULD FIX BECAUSE OF THE HIGH RATE OF FAILURES. I'VE BEEN SAVING FOR THE REPAIR BUT HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT ALL YET. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP BEFORE EXITING A PARKING LOT, THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ENGAGED IN A NORMAL FASHION ONLY TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM SHUDDER AND THEN EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF AUTOMATIC BRAKE ASSIST. MANY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING THE 'CHECK VSC' LIGHT, ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH A VERY AUDIBLE WARNING SOUND. THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR AND RELATED PARTS. THE PRICE TO FIX THE ISSUE WAS RIGHT NEAR $3000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 40MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHT AND "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" AND "ABS" WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE BRAKES WERE VERY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE AS I TRIED TO STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT COMING UP. I HAD TO LITERALLY STAND ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS VERY SCARY! I TURNED AROUND AND DROVE STRAIGHT HOME, BUT ALL LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE BRAKES RETURNED TO NORMAL. I COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WE DISMISSED IT AS A FLUKE. THEN IT HAPPENED A WEEK LATER. THIS TIME THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AT HOME. THE BRAKES THEN REENGAGED WHILE I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. AS I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, I HEARD A LOUD BANG/THUNK. I THOUGHT I HIT SOMETHING BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED ALL WARNING LIGHTS HAD GONE OUT AND MY BRAKES WERE NORMAL AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR TO LIBERTY TOYOTA IN COLORADO SPRINGS WHERE THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW BRAKE SWITCH, WHICH COST ME $180. THREE WEEKS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM WAS BACK WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. I LEARNED TO DRIVE WITH MANUAL BRAKES FOR A FEW WEEKS AND TO JUST GO MUCH SLOWER BECAUSE I NEEDED MY CAR. I NOTICED THE SAME LOUD CLUNKING SOUND ANY TIME THE BRAKES WOULD REENGAGE (USUALLY WHEN I WAS IDLING OR GOING VERY SLOWLY, GETTING READY TO ACCELERATE) AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO TOYOTA YESTERDAY AND NOW THEY TELL ME THAT IT'S PROBABLY THE ACTUATOR, WHICH WILL COST ME ABOUT $3,000! PLUS MY "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY SAID THAT ONE CELL IN MY BATTERY IS BAD. I NEED A NEW BATTERY, WHICH RUNS $4,000! WHAT A HEADACHE! *TR
Official recalls
315V689000 · Visibility:power Window Devices And Controls
Oct 22, 2015
Toyota Motor Company (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 Tundra, Sequoia, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and Scion xB, 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2007 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2006-2011 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, and 2009-2010 Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. During the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (PWMS), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found. If abnormality is found, the PWMS circuit board will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 20, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

12V491000 · Visibility:power Window Devices And Controls
Oct 10, 2012
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Camry, Camry Hybrid, RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Matrix, Tundra, Sequoia, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Yaris, Scion xB, Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. The power window master switch assemblies in some of these vehicles were built using a less precise process for lubricating the internal components of the switch assemblies. Irregularities in this lubrication process may cause the power window master switch assemblies to malfunction and overheat.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
Remedy: Toyota will notify its owners, and dealers will inspect the switch and apply a special grease that inhibits heat build up or replace any switch damaged by the defect, free of charge. Toyota owners that experience a problem with a switch should not attempt to make repairs, but should contact their Toyota dealer or the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331. General Motors will contact the Pontiac Vibe owners affected by this recall and GM dealers will inspect and repair switches as necessary.

09V388000 · Vehicle Speed Control:accelerator Pedal
Oct 5, 2009
TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2010 PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAN GET STUCK IN THE WIDE OPEN POSITION DUE TO ITS BEING TRAPPED BY AN UNSECURED OR INCOMPATIBLE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A STUCK OPEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN VERY HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: TOYOTA FILED AN AMENDED DEFECT REPORT ON NOVEMBER 25, 2009, STATING THAT DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND, ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, ALTER THE SHAPE OF THE FLOOR SURFACE UNDER THE PEDAL. THESE CHANGES ADDRESS THE RISK OF PEDAL ENTRAPMENT DUE TO INTERFERENCE WITH THE FLOOR MAT. REDESIGNED ACCELERATOR PEDALS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE BEGINNING IN APRIL 2010 AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY MODIFIED PEDAL WITH THE NEW PEDAL IF DESIRED. ALSO, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY GENUINE TOYOTA OR LEXUS ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS WITH REDESIGNED ALL-WEATHER MATS, OR REPURCHASE THE PREVIOUS MATS FROM OWNERS WHO DO NOT WANT THE NEW ONES. ADDITIONALLY, SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS WILL BE INSTALLED ON CAMRY, AVALON AND LEXUS ES 350, IS 350 AND IS 250 MODELS THAT WILL ENSURE THAT THE BRAKE OVERRIDES THE ACCELERATOR IN THE EVENT BOTH BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS ARE APPLIED. TOYOTA WILL BEGIN MAILING LETTERS TO OWNERS ON DECEMBER 31, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331, LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.

On June 25, 2014, Toyota initiated a Warranty Enhancement Program (ZE1) to extend warranty coverage for the brake actuator assembly and skid control ECU/brake pedal stroke sensor in certain MY 2007 to 2011 Toyota Camry hybrid vehicles. Toyota's program covers repairs related to two conditions:internal malfunctions of the Brake Actuator assembly; and overly sensitive monitoring logic for the Brake Pedal Stroke Sensor.Primary coverage provides warranty enhancement until November 30, 2015, with no mileage limitation.After the primary coverage period ends, secondary coverage is provided for 10 years or 150,000 miles from the date of first use, whichever occurs first.In addition, on July 10, 2014, Toyota initiated Limited Service Campaign E0U to replace the Brake Reservoir Tank in MY 2007 through 2011 Toyota Camry hybrid vehicles.The LSC will be available until June 30, 2017, and will only be available at an authorized Toyota dealer.ODI's analysis of failure data determined that the majority of records were related to the Brake Actuator condition, which appeared to be the causal component in 734 complaints/field reports and 864 warranty claims.The Brake Pedal Stroke Sensor (80 reports/189 claims) and Brake Reservoir Tank (91 reports/44 claims) conditions were identified in far fewer records.Analysis of the failure data indicate that each condition provides warning prior to any reduction in power assisted braking, with less than 10 percent of all reports and claims involving diagnostic codes or complaint narratives indicating increased braking effort or reduced brake effectiveness.In addition, most of the incidents in which reduced braking assist appears to have occurred involved operation in a reduced assist mode and not a sudden, complete loss of power assisted braking.ODI assessed reduced assist mode in a subjective driving evaluation which indicated that the brake system provided normal and harddeceleration capability with reasonable increases in pedal effort.Less than one percent of reports and claims analyzed by ODI included evidence indicating a complete loss of power assisted braking occurred and this mode requires operation for a significant period of time with multiple audible and visual warnings.Repair expense was cited in many of the complaints reviewed by ODI, especially those related to the Brake Actuator, which had repair costs exceeding $3,000 according to some complaints.High repair cost appears to have been a factor in the only crash identified by ODI for the fault conditions identified by Toyota, which involved a Brake Actuator failure that was diagnosed but the owner declined repair approximately eight months prior to the reported crash incident.This preliminary evaluation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding that a safety-related defect does not exist.For additional information regarding this investigation, including analysis of the Brake Actuator, Brake Pedal Stroke Sensor, and Brake Reservoir Tank fault conditions and failure experience, see Attachment A to this closing resume.

Toyota's program covers repairs related to two conditions:internal malfunctions of the Brake Actuator assembly; and overly sensitive monitoring logic for the Brake Pedal Stroke Sensor.Primary coverage provides warranty enhancement until November 30, 2015, with no mileage limitation.After the primary coverage period ends, secondary coverage is provided for 10 years or 150,000 miles from the date of first use, whichever occurs first.In addition, on July 10, 2014, Toyota initiated Limited Service Campaign E0U to replace the Brake Reservoir Tank in MY 2007 through 2011 Toyota Camry hybrid vehicles.The LSC will be available until June 30, 2017, and will only be available at an authorized Toyota dealer.ODI's analysis of failure data determined that the majority of records were related to the Brake Actuator condition, which appeared to be the causal component in 734 complaints/field reports and 864 warranty claims.The Brake Pedal Stroke Sensor (80 reports/189 claims) and Brake Reservoir Tank (91 reports/44 claims) conditions were identified in far fewer records.Analysis of the failure data indicate that each condition provides warning prior to any reduction in power assisted braking, with less than 10 percent of all reports and claims involving diagnostic codes or complaint narratives indicating increased braking effort or reduced brake effectiveness.In addition, most of the incidents in which reduced braking assist appears to have occurred involved operation in a reduced assist mode and not a sudden, complete loss of power assisted braking.ODI assessed reduced assist mode in a subjective driving evaluation which indicated that the brake system provided normal and harddeceleration capability with reasonable increases in pedal effort.Less than one percent of reports and claims analyzed by ODI included evidence indicating a complete loss of power assisted braking occurred and this mode requires operation for a significant period of time with multiple audible and visual warnings.Repair expense was cited in many of the complaints reviewed by ODI, especially those related to the Brake Actuator, which had repair costs exceeding $3,000 according to some complaints.High repair cost appears to have been a factor in the only crash identified by ODI for the fault conditions identified by Toyota, which involved a Brake Actuator failure that was diagnosed but the owner declined repair approximately eight months prior to the reported crash incident.This preliminary evaluation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding that a safety-related defect does not exist.For additional information regarding this investigation, including analysis of the Brake Actuator, Brake Pedal Stroke Sensor, and Brake Reservoir Tank fault conditions and failure experience, see Attachment A to this closing resume.
