| Description of the problem | While on the way back from a short trip to california from arizona, our "service engine" warning light became displayed on our dash along with "check vsc system." the braking became somewhat erratic and the vehicle seemed to "wander" more within the lane on the highway casing us to reduce our speed. When arriving home we made an appointment to have our vehicle serviced and it was found to have a faulty anti lock brake actuator that had to be replaced at a cost of $2900. 00. I am reporting this because of the article i found during my investigation of this issue stating "feds investigate braking problems in toyota camry hybrid" (https://www. Consumeraffairs. Com/news/feds-investigate-braking-problems-in-toyota-camry-hybrid-012814. Html), along with a multitude of other complaints found on the web pertaining to this same issue. |
