2007 Toyota Camry Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the air brake actuators to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 216,053.

MOVING AT 70 MPH, BATTERY LIGHT STARTED TO FLICKER. THEN 2 LOUD BANGS, LIKE ROCKS HITTING WINDSHIELD, SPEEDOMETER WILDLY FLUCTUATING, CHECK VSC SYS LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BRIEFLY LIT. NO LOSS OF POWER OR CONTROL. BATTERY LITE NOW OFF. CONTINUED ON 3 MINUTES LATER REPEAT, BAM BAM, CHECK VSC SYS, NOW WITH RED TRIANGLE WARNING, ABS LIGHT, SECURITY, PASSENGER AIR BAG & SKID LINES FLASHED ON. NO PROBLEMS ON RETURN TRIP, ALTHOUGH I WAS TRAVELING AT AROUND 50 MPH. I SHOULD ADD THAT I HAD PROBLEM WITH BATTERY IN JAN 2019. REPLACED BATTERY AND POSITIVE CABLE. BATTERY LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, REPLACED ALTERNATOR. PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT BATTERY LIGHT REOCCURRED. MECHANIC CLEANED OFF POSITIVE POLE, AND PROBLEM WAS SOLVED UNTIL TODAY.

CHECK VSC SYSTEM LIGHTS COMES ON AND CAR STOPS ON ROAD. RESTARTS AFTER POWERING OFF AND ON.

GOT WARNING CHECK VSC SYSTEM AND ALL ABS, ENGINE, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON

I WAS DRIVING FROM DELAWARE TO PHILADELPHIA ON A RAINY DAY AND SUDDENLY THE LIGHT OF THE BREAK, ABS AND STABILITY LIGHT COME UP. ALSO THERE IS A MESSAGE TELLING TO CHECK VSC SYSTEM. I PULLED OVER AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND NOTHING HAPPENED . I'M SCARE TO DRIVE THE CAR ON HIS CONDITION SINCE I'M PREGNANT.

I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY WITH 125,000 MILES. IT IS IMPECCABLY CARED FOR, IT HAS NEW FRONT AND BACK BRAKES, NEW ROTORS, NEW BATTERY AND NEW TIRES. THE PROBLEM STARTED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO IN APRIL 2017. WHILE DRIVING MODEST SPEEDS ON REGULAR ROADS, THE BREAK AND ABS WARMING LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND GOES TO 0, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS MOVING. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO RELATION TO SPEED OR ROAD CONDITIONS. ALSO, I LIVE IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA, AND NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE HAD TO USE THE ABS SYSTEM FOR ANY BREAKING. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THIS IS AN ABS BRAKE CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM, WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $2500 TO FIX. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! I AM RETIRED AND CANNOT AFFORD THIS KIND OF EXPENSE!!! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING TOYOTAS FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM OR EVEN HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. MY PRIOR CAMRY LASTED FOR 14 YEARS AND 200,000 MILES AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA TRULY NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR AT LEAST TELL ALL FUTURE CAMRY BUYERS TO BE PREPARED FOR A $2500 - $5000 EXPENSE IN THE FUTURE. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT IT!! *JS

MY ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT SIMULTANEOUSLY CAME ON WHEN I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT ONE DAY AT THE SAME TIME MY AIR CONDITIONER ONLY BLOWS OUT HOT AIR AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF YOU STEP ON YOUR BRAKES TOO FAST OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT THE CAR CAN SKID OR LOSE TRACTION OR EVER THE CASE MAY BE TO ME THIS IS A MANUFACTURED DEFAULT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR WARRANTY TO BE REPLACED SINCE MOST OF THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSING PEOPLE 2500 PLUS WHICH IS WAY MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR ON TOP OF THE BURDEN IT COST TO GET IT FIXED IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT I HAVE COMPLAINED ONLINE AND SPOKE WITH THAT THEIR ABS MODULES HAVE ALSO WENT OUT ON THIS YEAR CAR AS WELL AS MELTING DASHBOARD DEFAULTED POWER WINDOWS OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH I NEED TO GO CHECK MINE TO SEE IF THAT IS ALSO HAPPENING ON THIS MODEL 07 VERY UNETHICAL VERY DANGEROUS!!! I MEAN COME ON IF IT'S A WARRANTY ISSUE IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO MAINTAIN ON A REGULAR BASIS AND ORDER FOR IT NOT TO BE BROKEN BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN MAINTENANCE LIKE YOUR OIL OR YOUR TIRES THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED THIS IS MY FORMAL COMPLAINT THANK YOU

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT HAS ABOUT 170,000 MILES. I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND CHECK UP ON THE CAR. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE VSC LIGHTS, BRAKES, AND BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT. MY CAR ENGINE TURNS OFF AND I AM UNABLE TO RECRANK IT. ALL OF MY SYSTEMS ARE ON SUCH AS THE AC, RADIO, AND LIGHTS, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO START. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BE TWICE IN 1 WEEK. THE FIRST TIME I GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS JUST THE BATTERY. SO AFTER PAYING OVER $150 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND OIL CHANGE, I DROVE MY CAR AWAY ONLY TO GET ABOUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME, I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A CAR WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PULL MY CAR SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. THIS LED TO A SECOND TOW TRUCK BILL AND AN IRRITABLE CALL TO THE DEALER. THE CAR IS THERE NOW AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. THEY ARE TRYING TO STATE THE CAR MAY HAVE WATER DAMAGE TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WHICH SEEMS TO BE TOTAL BS. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF FLOOD ZONES. LUCKILY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE I WAS LEFT STRANDED AFTER THEY ASSURED ME THAT MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THAT IS THE ONLY UPSIDE OF THIS, HOWEVER I AM CONCERNED THEY WILL COME BACK TO ME WITH AN ASTRONOMICAL BILL FOR A COMPUTER ERROR. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE TO HAPPEN? THIS IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE A CAR AND IT JUST CUTS OFF ON YOU. BAD MOVE TOYOTA, BAD MOVE!

TWO WARNING SIGNALS APPEARED IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE CAR. 1. "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" 2. "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" THE WARNING MESSAGE ARE ON CONSTANTLY. THE HYBRID SYSTEM DOES NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. THE BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT STOP THE CAR AS NORMAL. EXTRA PRESSURE IS REQUIRED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE.

WHILE RUNNING (SITTING STILL OR MOVING) THE DASHBOARD GAUGES WILL GO CRAZY. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL GO TO 0, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE RPM MAY BOUNCE AROUND. THE TEMP GAUGE MAY ALSO DROP TO C. OTHERWISE, THE CAR APPEARS FINE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME (ENGINE COLD OR WARM, DRIVING IN CITY OR HIGHWAY). THE LENGTH OF THE EPISODES VARY FROM A SECOND (OR LESS) TO 20+ MINUTES. FROM A LITTLE RESEARCH, I CAN TELL OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY (AROUND THE SAME YEAR) OWNERS HAVE ALSO ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE BREAK LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH. WITHIN A MINUTE AFTER THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH CHECK PARKING BREAK AND CHECK VSC SYTEM AND THE GENERAL HAZARD LIGHT ALL WERE ON. I TRIED TO BREAK AND PULL OVER AND WHEN I DID I REALIZE I COULD NOT STOP. THE ASSIST BREAKS HAD BEEN COMPLETELY DISABLED AND I HAD TO PUSH VERY VERY HARD TO SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO ALSO USE THE PARKING BREAK TO ASSIST ME . WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN THE BREAKS ARE BACK AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES EACH WITH A VERY FRIGHTENING WITHOUT WARNING EXPERIENCE. MY MECHANIC SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES SHOWING WHAT IS HAPPENING. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO KILL SOMEONE. ESPECIALLY A NEW DRIVER OR AN ELDERLY PERSON THAT SIMPLY WOULD NOT HAVE THE GREAT DEAL OF POWER NEEDED OR THE REFLEXES TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED HAVING WHAT APPEARS TO BE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON WHILE THE TACHOMETER BOUNCE UP AND DOWN UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE SPEEDOMETER READS AT 0 WHEN IN FACT IM ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING AT I BELIEVE 55-60MPH. THE GEAR LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD TURN OFF. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST BEEN A MONTH NOW AND THE CAR FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL THEN IT WILL CORRECT ITSELF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN START ACTING UP AGAIN. *TR

PULLING OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT, THE DIALS ON MY DASH ILLUMINATED AND A "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" NOTIFICATION POPPED UP ON THE STATUS SCREEN. THE CAR'S BRAKES WERE SLUGGISH TO RESPOND AND FORCEFUL PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY THE PARKING LOT WAS EMPTY AND I WAS ONLY GOING 10MPH. *JS

ABS LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY THEN SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAUGES GOES TO ZERO AND A/C IF IT IS ON BLOWS WARM AIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STABILITY CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

MY CAR WAS IN THE RECALL LIST AND THEY HAVE CHANGED THE BAD PIECE 3 TIMES AND IM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ANY WAY YOU COULD HELP CALL [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 HAD A UNINTENDED ACCELERATION THAT CAUSES MY CAR CRASHED TO THE CAR INFRONT ME. TOYOTA DEALER DID SOMETHING IN THE CARPET AND ACCELERATION PEDAL YESTERDAY. I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR I STRONGLY BELIEVED THAT THE SENSOR OR THE ELECTRONICALLY THROTTLE ACTIVATE THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF MY CAR. I ALSO BELIEVED THAT TOYOTA ARE NOT BEING HONEST IN FINDING A SOLUTION TO THESE PROBLEMS. I DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE AGAIN THE DEATH ACCELERATION THAT MAY OCCUR WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. EVERYTHING TOYOTA DID TO MY CAR IS JUST BANDAID SOLUTION AND NOT SOLVING THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WHICHIS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE AS IN HAPPENED TO ALL OTHER HIGH SPEED THAT CANNOT BE STOPPED BY THE DRIVER, AND CAUSED DEATHS TO ALL PASSENGER. I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN THEIR SEATS AND EXPERIENCED WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH LIVING OR DEAD. YOUR QUESTION BELOW OF "WERE THERE ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES?" IS TOO VAGUE. I DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE DEATH WHILE DRIVING TOYOTA. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA. MY PROBLEM EXIST WITH A STUCK PEDAL. WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT, AND PROCEED TO STEP ON MY ACCELERATOR MOMENTARILY STICKS IN A NEUTRAL POSITION ,UNTIL IT RELEASES, WHILE I AM STILL MOVING FORWARD WITH THE SAME PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THIS IS WHAT IT STATES: IF THE ENGINE SPEED DOES NOT INCREASE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE IN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. MY CONCERN IS THIS PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL, AND MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT IN TOYOTA'S EXPLANATION WITH ALL TOYOTA CARS. I DO NOT KNOW IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE 1ST RECALL WITH THE FLOOR MATS, THROTTLE CONTROL, OR THE GAS PEDAL. I WANT TO KNOW WHO MADE MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND IF MY CAR WILL BE REPAIRED BY TOYOTA. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE, THAT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE PEDAL WILL MAKE MY CAR GO OUT OF CONTROL. IF IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART, HAS IT BEEN DETERMINED THAT WHEN MY PEDAL STICKS IT WILL ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. WITH SO MANY OTHER TOYOTA'S BEING ADDED TO THE LIST EACH DAY. I WANT TO REPORT THAT THE CAMRY SOLARA SHOULD BE ADDED TO THIS LIST. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I AM NOT CURRENTLY DRIVING THE CAR. I EXPECT ALL ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION BE CLOSELY LOOKED AT BY TOYOTA, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR AT THE COST OF TOYOTA BE TAKEN CARE OF REGARDLESS OF A RECALL LETTER BEING SENT OUT TO ONLY THE LISTED CARS TO DATE. THIS IS A PROBLEM I DID NOT ANTICIPATE, WITH A NEW CAR, AND KNOW IT IS DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIALS USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THEIR CARS. TREAT ALL FAIRLY. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR A REPAIR, AND SHOULD NOT BE INCONVENIENCED IN MAKING A CAR PAYMENT, WHEN A CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. OR SHOULD I BE OUT ON THE ROAD DRIVING IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE THAT HAS NOT BEEN PUT ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR
