| Description of the problem | Brakes went to the floor and i coasted to a stop. I held my foot on the brake pedal to the floor. It was a light rain on a concrete road. The dash board lite up with a warning check vsc system. It only happen that one time. As i drove off after the event, i heard an unfamiliar sound and i cautiously drove home. The brake pedal was working normal again. The dash board warning sign went out as i took my foot off the brake and proceeded forward. Since that one event i have never had another incident. In the usa today on 1/28/14 i read the article about the power-assist brakes in 2007 & 2008 camry hybrids. After discussing the article with my family (who also have the same vehicle); they reported no such incident. On their advise, i took my car to my toyota dealer and they were not able to detect or duplicate the same braking event. It was test driven and computer system checked. It's in my car history and the dealer asked me to notify you for reference. |
