| Description of the problem | I just got my 2007 camry hybrid back after the "check vsc system" warning light came on this past week. I called my toyota dealer to have it checked out while i had an oil change and tire rotation done as well as another recall dealing with, i believe, was a brake reservoir issue. Earlier in the week i called toyota corporate to ask them about this warning i got and they asked about the numerous warning lights that came on when this happened on my instrument panel. And recommended i get it checked out. I left the vehicle the next day and later in the day they came back and told me the items were done, what the exception of the vsc system warning light. They said that my actuator was faulty. They said that they had called toyota about it and were awaiting a call back from them. They called me later in the day and said that toyota was willing to do the repair, free of charge, as a "one time only" deal. I never made a big deal out of this situation, never complaining. Ironically, a warning light dealing with my tire pressure that has never came off is gone as well as those other lights including the (!), abs, the "skidding car", etc. Among others also, my camry has over 233,000 miles, no where near a warranty type repair! This must be a problem that toyota is dealing with, but are keeping it on the "down low" to avoid a recall and another public embarrassment. I am also forwarding this to the ntsb and out local tv station. I am sure this is happening all over the country and hope that no one is adversely affected by this obvious factory defect.
