| Description of the problem | While driving my wife's 2007 toyota camry hybrid the "check vsc system" warning came on. Power brake system turned off and the car became difficult to stop. I pulled over and tried to reset the error by turning the car off then on again a few times. Still no luck. I felt i could get it to the dealer a couple miles away since the streets i used weren't highly trafficked. Was told by the dealer that the vsc computer had failed and that it was a $2200 repair. I did a quick search: http://bit. Ly/vj77m5 and found this thread of this issue being a somewhat common issue and seems to be a safety concern but now recall: http://bit. Ly/xamkaa. Updated 7/31/13 *cn the brake pedal had to be depressed almost to the floor, to stop the vehicle. However it would stop completely without slowing down. When traveling above 25 mph, it would take longer to stop. |
