| Description of the problem | The brakes on my 07 toyota camry went "soft" and the brake light came on when driving at about 35 mph. I pulled into a parking lot, waited, and the prob. Went away. A few days later, the brake light, traction control and abs lights turned on, and check vsc system displayed when at a red light on a residential area (25mph). I took the to toyota for the second time, and they said it was an abs issue, actuator and 4 brake fluids. The cost to repair it is $1926. 54. The dealer advised me to call toyota, which i did, bc there had been problems with braking in 07 and 08 toyota camrys. Toyota was incredibly unhelpful (this despite my owning two toyota camry hybrids), even though toyota had issued two extended warranties because of the issues with intermittent loss of assisted braking reported by many customers, the last one through july of 2017. The woman i spoke to insisted that since the car experienced the problem "out of warranty" there is nothing toyota was willing to do. |
