I WAS DRIVING ON STREET THAT HAD SEVERAL POTHOLES IN BOTH LANES. LANES WERE BLOCKED BY BARRELS BECAUSE OF THE ROADWORK BEING DONE. THERE WERE TOO MANY POTHOLES TO DODGE AND NONE SEEMED SIGNIFICANTLY BIGGER THAN THE REST. SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO SWERVE, BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC GOING THE OTHER WAY IN THE LANE BESIDE ME, I HIT A SERIES OF POTHOLES. AFTER THE LAST ONE, WHICH SEEMED A LITTLE BIGGER THAN THE OTHERS, I HEARD A BEEP AND THE DISPLAY READ, "CHECK VSC," WHICH I KNOW FROM THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED MEANS "VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL." THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT SEEMED TO COME ON AT THAT TIME. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO ROLL ANY BUT INSTEAD HAD TO HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE AT ALL. THE BRAKE WAS NOT AS POWERFUL, SO I HAD TO BE SURE TO BRAKE IN PLENTY OF TIME. THE STEERING SEEMED MORE RESTRICTED ALSO, AND THERE WAS A HIGH-PITCHED BUZZING THAT CONTINUED ALL THE TIME UNLESS THE CAR WAS OFF WITH ALL DOORS SHUT. I LIVE CLOSE BY, SO I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR BACK HOME BUT DID NOT THINK IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD AAA TOW IT A FEW DAYS LATER. THEY TOLD ME AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT A PART OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY LATER FOUND THAT ONE OF THE LINES INVOLVED IN KEEPING THE ENGINE COOL WAS LEAKING AND THE WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

A WEEK BEFORE THE INCIDENT, HEARD A HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE DISTRIBUTOR AREA OF THE ENGINE WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED. IT CONTINUED AT ABOUT 1-MINUTE INTERVALS WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF. IT WOULD END WITHIN ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF BEING TURNED OFF. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE BRAKES WERE TRYING TO ENGAGE OR THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO THEM. A DAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING, THERE WOULD BE A CHIRPING NOISE AS WELL. THEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, EVERY BRAKE-RELATED WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND A MESSAGE APPEARED SAYING, "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. CHECK VSC SYSTEM." THE BRAKES DIDN'T FAIL, THOUGH, SO I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD VSC SYSTEM ISSUES IN THIS CAR. 3 YEARS AGO THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENED, AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY, WHERE THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VSC WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON AS WELL. FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS BEFORE THAT, THE BRAKES WERE CHIRPING WHEN ENGAGED AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND PARKED, THEY WOULD CHIRP FOR A LONG TIME AS IF THEY WERE TRYING TO ENGAGE THEN TOO. IT COST ME $2100 TO REPLACE THE MODULE. NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM NOT PREPARED TO RISK BRAKE FAILURE NOR PAY AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM FOR THIS CAR, AGAIN. TOYOTA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR, SHODDY DESIGN AND FIX THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PROPERLY RESPOND TO DECELERATION ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL, BRAKES FAILED, AND ABS FAILED LIGHTS ILLUMINATED DURING THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE DEFECT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

AS I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, THEY SEEMED NOT TO WORK. I HAD TO KEEP PUSHING DOWN ON THE BRAKES WITH FORCE TO FINALLY GET TRY TO GET THE CAR TO STOP, AT WHICH POINT THE BRAKE LIGHTS SENSOR, THE ABS SENSOR,AND THE VSC SENSORS ALL LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. AS I WAS TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO STOP, THE CAR BEGAN SWERVING AND I COULDN'T GET IMMEDIATE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS SLIDING, THE STABILITY OF THE CAR WAS COMPROMISED. I HONESTLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH. ON APRIL 17TH, 2014,IN A SEPARATE INCIDENT, AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, ONLY TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND THEY APPEARED TO NOT WORK. ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO REALLY PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKES FOR THEM TO FINALLY WORK. AGAIN, ALL OF THE LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD (BRAKES, ABS, VSC). IT WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE CAR AND AGAIN, I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS GOING TO CRASH. *TR
BRAKES STARTED ACTING FUNNY AND MAKING STRANGE NOISES. I TOOK IT IN TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD COST $3000 TO REPLACE THE ABS ACTUATOR AND THAT IF I DIDN'T, THE BRAKES COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME.
WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MILES AND TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES TO STOP, I REALIZED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL RESPONDED VERY SLOWLY AND ALMOST FAILED TO STOP PROPERLY ON NOVEMBER 25, 2013.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MILES AND TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES TO STOP, I REALIZED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL RESPONDED VERY SLOWLY AND ALMOST FAILED TO STOP PROPERLY ON NOVEMBER 25, 2013. I MANAGED TO BRING THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER SERVICES ON THAT DAY. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY RECORDED THAT C1202 STORED IN ECU, LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING, ABS PUMP MOTOR OPERATION SUSPE TOPPED OFF BRAKE FLUID. I STARTED HEARING A CREAKING NOISE IN MARCH 2014 WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SERVICES ON APRIL 2, 2014. INITIALLY THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, HOWEVER, I INSISTED ON TESTING IT FURTHER. EVENTUALLY, THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH AN ACTUATOR IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND WAS NOT COVERED BY A WARRANTY. I HAD TO PAY OVER $3300 INCLUDING TAX. AFTER UNDERSTANDING HOW AN ACTUATOR WORKS IN BRAKING SYSTEM, I BELIEVE THAT THE INCIDENT ON NOVEMBER 25, 2013 MUST BE CAUSED BY AN ACTUATOR ISSUE. I URGE TOYOTA TO RECALL THE ACTUATOR IN BRAKING SYSTEM FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. FIRST, EVEN TRAINED TECHNICIANS AT TOYOTA DEALER COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE EASILY. THEY FINALLY FOUND IT AFTER THEY FAILED TWICE IN OUR CASE (IT TOOK NEARLY TWO DAYS). THOSE TECHNICIANS SHOULD BE INFORMED, SO THEY CAN DEAL WITH CUSTOMERS LIKE US QUICKLY AND PROPERLY. SECOND, A SIGN OF ACTUATOR PROBLEM CAN BE EASILY NEGLECTED. A CREAKING NOISE, WHICH CAUSED US TO BRING A CAR TO THE DEALER WAS PRETTY SUBTLE. THIRD A BRAKE FAILURE MAY LEAD FATAL CAR ACCIDENTS. I WAS VERY SCARED WHEN THE BRAKE ALMOST FAILED TO WORK. THIS MAY BE A LUCKY CASE SINCE I DID NOT HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT. *TT

APRIL 5, 2014' BRAKE ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION. THE VISUAL OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT VARYING SPEEDS. ON EACH OCCASION THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES MANY OF THE WARNING/EMERGENCY LIGHTS (ENGINE CHECK, ABS, VCS, BRAKE, ETC.) ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. THE BRAKES THEN BECAME VERY SPONGY TO THE POINT I HAD TO PRESS VERY HARD TO GET THE CAMRY TO STOP. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS IF I HAD HAD TO STOP TO AVOID A CRASH. AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I TOOK THE CAMRY TO TEJAS TOYOTA TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION FROM THE COMPUTER INDICATED NOTHING WAS WRONG. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY THE TOYOTA SERVICE MANAGER TO BRING IT IN WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING, IF POSSIBLE, SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. ON APRIL 5TH, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND WE DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO TEJAS. THE PROBLEM WAS STILL OCCURRING WHEN THEY CONNECTED THEIR COMPUTER TO CHECK THE VEHICLES ONBOARD COMPUTER. THEIR COMPUTER DIAGNOSED THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND DUE TO THE FAULTY ACTUATOR, THE BRAKE PADS ON THE BOTH FRONT AND REAR HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM FLUSHED. THE COST OF THE ACTUATOR WITH LABOR TO INSTALL WAS OVER $3,500, TOTAL BILL ALMOST $4,200. TEJAS PERSONNEL DID A GREAT JOB REPAIRING THE PROBLEM AND GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. I CALLED THE TOYOTA MAIN CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND SPOKE WITH ONE OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, [XXX]. HE CREATED CASE # 1404141818 AND I WAS INSTRUCTED TO FAX (NOT EMAIL BUT FAX) A COPY OF THE INVOICE I RECEIVED FROM TEJAS TO HIM. WHICH I DID. HE SPOKE TO THE HIGHER UPS IN TOYOTA AND CALLED ME BACK TODAY (4/16). TOYOTA MANAGEMENT DENIED IT WAS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY THE REPAIR COSTS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS PAST THE INITIAL WARRANTY PERIOD. I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN OF THEIR ACTUATOR.

MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OF THE ASSISTED BRAKING SYSTEM ON OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THIS OCCURRED WHILE SHE WAS DROPPING OFF OUR CHILDREN AT SCHOOL BUT FORTUNATELY OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE BECAME APPARENT WHEN MULTIPLE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AND WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE ADEQUATELY. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED A RE-STARTED, THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. WE UNDERSTAND FROM INFORMATION AVAILABLE FROM OTHER DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE THAT THE FAILURE IS LIKELY TO RECUR AND SO REMAINS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TT

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.

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.
