| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 camry with 125,000 miles. It is impeccably cared for, it has new front and back brakes, new rotors, new battery and new tires. The problem started several weeks ago in april 2017. While driving modest speeds on regular roads, the break and abs warming lights come on, and the speedometer stops working and goes to 0, even though the car is moving. This keeps happening intermittently with no relation to speed or road conditions. Also, i live in sunny california, and never in my life have had to use the abs system for any breaking. I was told by my mechanic this is an abs brake control module problem, which will cost about $2500 to fix. This is outrageous!!! I am retired and cannot afford this kind of expense!!! I have been driving toyotas for over 40 years and i never had this problem or even heard of this problem before. My prior camry lasted for 14 years and 200,000 miles and never had this problem. Toyota truly needs to fix the problem or at least tell all future camry buyers to be prepared for a $2500 - $5000 expense in the future. If i had known about this when i bought the car i would never have bought it!! *js |
