| Description of the problem | Please investigate the abs system on the hybrid 2007 camry. I almost killed myself about 2 months ago. I was going about 60mph when i hit on the brakes to slow down on a curve the brakes would not respond, it was like the brakes were really hard to step on, and to control the steering wheel. The lights to check the vsc system came on, check abs, the emergency brake light. After a few seconds everything would go back to normal. I have done extensive research and there are so many complaints with the same problems on the 2007 camry hybrid. Please do something about it so toyota can recall and fix the problem before someone gets killed. After taking it to toyota for the last 5 months without finding a problem, because the computer would not register anything and they couldn't duplicate the problem, now they are saying its the abs system and it cost $4,000 to fix it. They are not doing anything to investigate the problem because they claim that not enough people have registered complaints. So i ask how many people have to die before we get any attention. |
