 Description of the problemAs the vehicle was being driven on 11/20/2014, "check vsc system" showed up on the multi-information display, and the master warning light, abs light, slip indicator light, and brake system warning light (yellow indicator) came on. Vehicle braking performance seemed slightly diminished but still safe to drive. On 11/22/2014 i had to make a trip to town, and not knowing the severity of the warnings, used the camry. While driving northbound at approximately 50 miles per hour, i indicated a right hand turn, and a westbound vehicle at a stop sign started turning from the road i was turning onto to drive north on the road i was turning off of. While attempting to slow down to make my turn, the brake performance was extremely poor. I was unable to slow down to a reasonable speed to make the turn and had to make my turn at a much higher than normal rate of speed to avoid colliding with the driver that was turning out in front of me. I finished my trip to town, allowing far more braking distance than normal, and returned home and left the vehicle in the garage. I checked the brake fluid level and it was within the normal range between min and max. This morning i contacted a local toyota dealer for a service appointment.
