| Description of the problem | On april 17, 2010 i was driving my 2007 camry hybrid. When i tried to apply my brakes, the brakes would not work. When i pushed the pedal more, the car locked down. I looked at the information center on the dash and it had a warning "check vsc system." i immediately took the car to the toyota dealership in spartanburg, sc. The gave me a rental and told me they had to do further diagnostics. After 12 days, my car is ready but they can give me no reason why the system failed. They replaced a sensor, but told me this issue never happens. I called toyota and they are not helping me with this matter at all. I am afraid to drive the car. I could have crashed. My daughter used the car about a month ago on a trip and she would have crashed if this had happened. |
