| Description of the problem | i was driving at approximately 20 miles per hour and coming to a stop when the vsc warning light , brake warning light, and tire pressure warning lights came on. The light remained on after restarting the engine and the brake pedal became more resistant to braking. The problem in my car actually began months before the warning lights came on and was not correctly diagnosed at the dealership. Early signs were excessive clicking sounds coming from the brake actuator assembly on the right front area of the engine compartment, and an intermittent hydraulic sound when the brake pedal was kept depressed. After the repair i found that this problem is common on the 2007 camry hybrid. The repair involved replacement of the brake actuator assembly and was extremely expensive. .... Updated 08/01/13 *bf there seemed to be a delay in stopping the vehicle after the warning lights came on. Prior to that, the consumer heard clicking sounds. However, before the warning lights came on, the stopping seemed normal. |
