Description of the problem	I have owned my 2007 camry hybrid for 1 year 6 months. In snowy and slick conditions, the brakes stopped functioning normally. Abs stopped functioning. The regenerative brakes stopped functioning. Hydraulic brakes functioned, but the pedal had to be depressed to the floor before they engaged and then the brakes engaged very sharply and uncontrollably (i have read this is the "fail-safe" behavior when a communication issue occurs in the system). At the same time, the "check vsc system" notification came on. The red brake light, abs indicator light, skid indicator light, tire pressure light, orange circle with exclamation light (brake failure indicator, it looks like ((!)) ) all lit. All warning lights remained lit and the brakes continued to behave badly for the following week under a variety of weather and temperature conditions. Brakes were difficult to control and stopping was unsafe (a lot like a new driver struggling to learn to drive a stick shift... Except the car is an automatic and the unpredictable jolting was due to the brake behavior, as opposed to a driver unfamiliar with using the clutch). When the car was taken for service, the technician found many failure/error codes had been recorded in the computer as a result of the incident. So many errors that the recommendation was to clear them and recalibrate the computer to see if the failure recurred. The computer was 'recalibrated' and the car was extensively driven by the technician. Nothing recoded. The brakes now behaved normally. Effectively the brakes failed because the computer "went haywire". Recalibrating the computer seems to have resolved the issue. So there was a major brake issue that happened suddenly, was not related to a component failure, that apparently can recur at any time.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
