| Description of the problem | The"check vsc system" sensor came on while i was driving. I was doing approximately 45 mph on the road. The road conditions were good and i keep up with maintenance. The abs failure light, brake and warning icons. I have it checked out and i'm told by toyota car's abs accumulator system and water pump must be replaced and that they hadn't have such issues before. After much research, this is a common complaint among toyota camry hybrid owners. This seems to be a design flaw and worse, my break pads and tires are brand new. This shouldn't be an issue but breaks pulsate and makes the vehicle unsafe as you can't control breaks when needed, especially, while parked on a inclined position. I am very concerned for my safety and the safety of others if my breaks were to fail because toyota has failed to recognize this as a vital recall repair. Without brakes you can kill or injure someone and that bad water pump can cause your engine to overheat. Please look into this and have toyota take responsibility for this situation! |
