| Description of the problem | I was driving at approximately 65mph on the interstate when the vsc warning came on my instrument panel along with the parking brake indicator light, the low tire pressure warning light, the abs warning light, and the traction control light. I immediately pulled over and did not notice any hesitation in the braking system. Since i was on a trip home, i continued my trip. Throughout the trip i noticed that the braking became more difficult, in that i had to apply more pressure to the brake pedal in order to stop. I took the car to my toyota dealership where they diagnosed the problem as being a leak in the brake actuator. They quoted me a $3000 cost estimate and informed me that the car is unsafe to drive due to the unpredictable braking. This seems like a problem that many camry hybrid owners are having. I am fortunate to have arrived home safely! |
