 Description of the problemWhen i went to start my car which was still in my garage, i pressed my foot on the brake and pushed the "on" button. Immediately i felt the brake "push back" and had to pump it once or twice to bring it back to normal. Over the course of the next six weeks, this would occasionally happen again. In addition, and more troubling, was that sometimes, when i was parked in a parking lot, and then started the car, something slightly different happened. When i pressed on the brake and started the car, instead of feeling resistance it seemed that the brake was going all the way to the floor but my car was slowly rolling backwards. After pumping the brake a couple of times, it reverted to normal. Finally, on 1/22/2014, the "check vsc system" warning suddenly came on as i was driving, as well as the antilock brake light, the regular brake light, the engine light, and the triangular hybrid warning light. The car was driving okay, but the lights all remained on until i brought my car into the dealer a few days later. The service department informed me that my brake accumulator had blown a fuse and had to be replaced. They stated they had no knowledge of this type of problem occurring in the camry hybrids. I paid $3400 to have the accumulator replaced. The next morning i read a news blurb in the newspaper about the investigation into the early camry hybrid models' brake problems and researched it further and ended up at this nhtsa site. My concern is that even though my accumulator has been replaced, has the root of the problem been addressed, or do i have to worry about the same thing happening again? I feel that this is a dangerous defect that could cause accidents, and i feel lucky that i had my problem addressed before anything more harmful occurred.
