| Description of the problem | Like many others with this particular car (hybrid), check vsc system warning came on along with many warning lights on the car and the brakes stopped functioning properly. Instead of normal breaking, it now takes pushing them all the way down sometimes. Toyota dealer quotes $2600 for the same repair (part replacement) that lots of other people are griping about online? Especially since the part is only available from toyota. The car does not feel safe to drive under these conditions. There are many complaints about the very same problem. For example: http://www. Consumeraffairs. Com/news/feds-investigate-braking-problems-in-toyota-camry-hybrid-012814. Html here's 7 pages of gripes: http://www. Toyotanation. Com/forum/105-camry-hybrid/401450-2007-tch-check-vsc-system-code-c1391. Html here's 11 more pages on a website someone created especially for this particular issue: https://www. Checkvscsystem. Com/guestbook. Php and there's many more. Please do something. Toyota's official stance is to claim "no recall" and leverage being the only source of the part to make a killing off of this (apparently) mass problem (for this car). |
