A while back I was driving on a residential street my vsc message came on and I notice a jerk in the tires if it was sliding, so I immediately pulled over turned the vehicle off hoping it could be a sensor failure so after sitting for 5 mins I turned the car back on notice the message wasn't there anymore I then begin to drive the vehicle for a good 5 mins and the car did the exact thing vsc message came back on the car begun to feel like it was sliding so I pulled over again sat about 10mins this time, turned the car on the message wasn't there I start driving 5 mins later the same exact thing happened again.

As I was driving a loud noise came on inside the car my ABS light and brake light came on and then my brakes failed almost causing a huge wreck and from what I have read it is the ABS accutator or brake accutator which I guess is the same thing but apparently a lot of the Toyota Camry hybrids are having this issue where the breaks are failing and causing accidents but yet there are no recalls for it and apparently the part cost 2,900 from Toyota which is insane when it should be a recall because it's a major safety issue

Check vsc system as well as ABS and tire lights come on. Known issue with Toyota. Had a maintenance program, but won't help me because it didn't start to occur until 1 month after expiration date. They don't send notifications. You have to wait until the problem occurs which could be after it causes an accident!

Few days ago while driving - the warning "check vsc system" indicator came on with four warning lights - brakes, exclamation traction control, ABS and skid control. Suddenly brakes started acting strangely and soft and jerky. Took the vehicle to fred anderson Toyota and after diagnostic test was told that it is code 1392 which requires replacement of ABS control module (the cost to replace was quoted as $2875.37 - we declined to get it fixed. Called Toyota customer service - they reviewed my complaint but declined to help.

I got in my vehicle today in the vsc light came on. I have researched over google, and everything points to a $3,000 repair, or a recall repairable by Toyota. I would like to see if I am eligible for that recall repair.

Brakes did not activate, went very soft and pushed to the floor. "check vsc system" message, brake light, traction control light, and another light (in attached image) all came on after the brakes gave out. I was able to use the emergency brake to stop the car off the side of the road. Turn the car off and back on. Brakes worked again, but all of the warnings are still on. Also, seems like the it's just regular brakes and anti-lock system is not working.

My vehicle's brakes failed resulting in rear-ending the car in front. This happened on a freeway going straight at 10 am. My vehicle was moving at about 20 miles/ hr when I stepped forcefully on the brake pedal as the car in front of me slowed but I did not lurch forward, my seat belt did not tighten to pull me back and my bag pack that was on the front passenger leather seat stayed where it was. My vehicle behaved as if I had not braked. When I stepped on the brakes, I could see asphalt between my vehicle and the vehicle in front. My vehicle's front bumper, grill and hood was damaged. The vehicle immediately in front of mine had dents on the rear bumper and the trunk. There was a third vehicle in front of the one in front of mine that was also damaged, however, I do not know the extent of the damage. The impact occurred at a low speed which did not cause my seat belt to tighten and did not cause my backpack on the passenger seat to slide forward.

I was driving my vechicle yesterday that was just in the shop since Saturday saying that they replaced everything that was wrong because previously my breaks locked up on I-95 and I couldn't stop. I got the vechicle back yesterday and I was driving home from work and my breaks failed again causing me to rear end the person in front of me. I could not stop. Absolutely no breaks!! the vechicle was in motion trying to come to a complete stop. I believe the ABS break aculator / module in the vechicle is bad. The company whom I bought it from I believe should take responsibility for this accident considering they're the ones who stated they fixed the vechicle
