| Description of the problem | On nov 25th, 2013 around 9:30pm i was driving home from work. A couple of minutes in to my driving my brake stopped functioning. I tried to slam the brake, but the car didn't stop. Thankfully, there weren't lots of car on the road. I drove on the side grass for few hundred yards and finally managed to stopped the vehicle. The next day, i took it to the near by shop and they suggested that i should replace the brake since the car wasn't able to stop. After spending $650 to replace the brakes and brake pads, i left the shop. After 6 months the check vsc system light came on. I took it to toyota dealership and they told me that i've to replace abs brake actuator and quoted me around $3700. I didn't have that much money to spend, so i started searching for alternative on the internet. That is when, i ran in to this site where people are reporting the issues that their 2007-2008 toyota camry hybrid are having. I would like toyota to resolve this issue and fix my car. I need a way to get around and go to work. This is my only source of transportation and i need it on the road again as soon as possible. Thank you! |
