| Description of the problem | [xxx] my 2007 toyota camry le four door automatic sedan has intermittent erratic problems with the instrument control panel: the abs and emergency brake lights come on and the tachometer, thermometer and other gauges bounce up and down the events last for a few seconds to ten minutes, episodes occur sporadically and the car continues to drive normally during the events. I called toyota (800) 331-4331 and asked for a warranty extension to repair the problem, denied by toyota. I was instructed to take it to a dealer to identify the problem. On july 1, 2015, central florida toyota in orlando, florida tried to charge me $59. 00, i refused to pay and they eventually proceeded to determine the problem without charge. The repair estimate given to me says, "$2,217. 05 for abs actuator assy., r&r.? The mechanic said this is serious; the brakes can lock up while i am driving. There are numerous identical complaints on the internet but toyota corporate said this problem is not subject to a recall or a reported problem. (just google, "2007 toyota camry abs and brake light on". Consumer complainants allege that the bosch abs ecu has a flaw in circuit board design.) this is very expensive problem and so common as to indicate that it is a manufacturer's defect and should be repaired free by toyota. I am the original owner. Updated 9/15/15 *ln updated 09/17/15*lj information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
