| Description of the problem | I live in tempe, arizona and own a 2007 toyota camry hybrid. In jan 2010, i was driving at about 45 mph in fair weather when there was an apparent brake malfunction. Alarm chimes went off and warning lights came on for the brake system and vsc system and possibly others (it happened rather quickly). The brakes had almost no effect when pressed so i downshifted and pulled to the side of the road. After pumping the brakes for several seconds, they appeared to be functioning again. I took the car into a toyota dealer who checked it out, including an extensive test drive, but could not reproduce the problem. |
