2008 TOYOTA CAMRY Service Brakes Problems

ABS light on, Brake warning light on, difficult to brake, Air Conditioner malfunctioning and seems connected to this issue.

am writing to report a critical safety issue with my 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid's ABS module. The problems I've encountered include failing ABS modules, weak braking, VSC light illumination, a ringing sound, and occasional brake failure, requiring excessive force to regain control. This ABS module problem is alarmingly common in Toyota Camry Hybrids from 2007 to 2011. Repair costs are exorbitant, and the widespread nature of this issue poses a significant safety risk to drivers and passengers. I urgently request the NHTSA's immediate investigation and collaboration with Toyota to address this matter and ensure the safety of affected vehicles.

Actuator and Pump Assembly, leaks won't build pressure makes brakes where pedal don't work

I am writing to report a critical safety issue with my 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid's ABS module.

ABS/VSC actuator pump failure and with the abs alarm on causing constant drain to the system needing jump every time or to disconnect 12v every time parked. Dealer diagnosed wrong last year stating 12v battery needed replacement. I did the $500. It did NOT fix the problem. Now dealer states actuator pump failure - replace/fix price approx $4,000. I asked for diagnostic readouts to prove to me that they have it right this time. (I'm over 50 hours into this ABS failure) he refused and would not agree to refund my money if I would go ahead with their advised repair. My car has only 116,000 miles on it! I've checked around & it seems that my model should be part of recall/repair. I've gotten nothing written from Toyota when I have inquired in writing. Extremely dangerous, this failure!

Breaks are not working. ABS is acting like it is in panic situation. it happens randomly. I almost went and hit somebody due to car not stopping. I am able to reproduce the issue but Toyota dealer is not accepting it. he says without seeing fault code in Toyota diagnostic tool they can't do anything. they are asking me continuously drive the vehicle. if I drive knowingly there is an issue with ABS who will be liable for accident or death. I saw few NHTSA complains raised similar to my issue. Here they are. NHTSA Compliant id: 11327259 and 11321857. Please take this seriously and help us out. There are many owners experiencing similar issues for the same model vehicles. They have done recall on hybrid model but non hybrid vehicles have same problem. you can reach me at [XXX].

VSC light came on. No breaks. Almost hit the car in front of me.

VSC LIGHT COMES ON AND BEEPS AFTER 3 YEARS OF BEING REPLACED BY TOYOTA UNDER WARRANTY IT HAPPEN AGAIN - THE ABS BREAKS ARE NOT THERE AND A CONTINUOUS BEEP SOUNDS. I WAS QUOTED 1600 TO FIX ALTHOUGH I DONT HAVE THE MONEY AND TOYOTA KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE 2008 TOY CAM HYBRID STATIONARY AND MOVING

I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPPED, THE "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH, SEVERAL DASH LIGHTS TURNED ON, AND THE POWER BRAKES FAILED SO I HAD TO STEP ON THE BRAKES VERY HARD IN ORDER TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE HOME. THE "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" ,MESSAGE IS STILL ON THE DASH.

WHILE DRIVING UPHILL ALL OF A SUDDEN I RECEIVED MULTIPLE WARNINGS ( NOISE, BRAKE LIGHT, EXCLAMATION POINT, AND A MESSAGE ABOUT ABS). I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON A STREET TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND HAD NO BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. REALIZING I COULD NOT STOP, I DROVE ON THE GRASS AND COASTED UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. TO SAY THIS WAS TERRIFYING IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND IT WOULD BE $2054.00 FOR THE PART. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE ABNORMALLY AND LOST MOTIVE POWER. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND THE VIBRATION CEASED. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (FAMILY TOYOTA OF BURLESON 801 S BURLESON BLVD, BURLESON, TX 76028 (817) 768-2829) TO BE INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE FAULT CODE 1391 WITH A STATED FAILURE OF THE ABS ACTUATOR. THE CONTACT WAS QUOTED A COST OF $2,050 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

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.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME ONE DAY AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. WHEN I DROVE IT, IT SHOOK BUT WAS NOT TOO BAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE BALANCING ISSUE. THEN IT HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED! I STOPPED THE CAR ON THE ROAD AND I COULD SMELL THE BRAKE SMOKE. THE THE LAST STRAW, I'M DRIVING HOME ONE DAY AND THE BRAKES SEIZED I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE BRAKE ACTUATOR WAS THE CAUSE AND IT WAS COMMON FOR THE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THE COST OF REPAIR WAS $3K. THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS "COMMON". AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR 3 DAYS, TOYOTA AGREED TO PAY HALF OF THE COSTS, SO IT STILL COST $1500 TO REPAIR, PLUS $100 FOR A BRAKE JOB, THOUGH I HAD A BRAKE JOB 6 MONTHS OLD! LIKE MANY MANY OTHERS, OUR 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS AND CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE MAJOR ISSUES AFFECTING THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BRAKES ABS ACTIVATING ON ITS OWN, BRAKES SEIZING, PREMATURE BRAKE PAD/ROTOR WEAR, DASHBOARD LIGHTS NOT WORKING, CAR MATS, BRAKE PEDAL, SUN VISORS, DASH BOARD MELTING, MOTOR MOUNT BREAKING FOR NO REASON, DASHBOARD GAUGES NOT WORKING (SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER/FUEL/TEMPERATURE ETC), CRUISE CONTROL WORKING INTERMITTENTLY WHERE IT TURNS OFF BY ITSELF, DOOR PANELS COMING LOOSE, SPEAKERS STOP WORKING PROPERLY. I COULD GO ON, BUT I THINK YOU GET THE PICTURE. THOUGH WE'VE ENJOYED OWNING TOYOTAS IN THE PAST, WE'VE OWNED THIS ONE FOR ALMOST THIS ONE FOR ALMOST 11 YEARS. AND THOUGH WE'RE LOOKING TO GET A NEW CAR SOON, I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE CORPORATE TREATMENT BY TOYOTA REGARDING ISSUES WITH THEIR PRODUCT, THIS MAY OUR LAST ONE. THE NHTSA SHOULD ENCOURAGE TOYOTA TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO FIX THESE ISSUES BEFORE THEY BECOME FATAL.

I HAVE NOTICED EXCEESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION SINCE 2015 IS 2016 AND HAVE GONE THROUGH NUMEROUS REPAIRS ONLY TO STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LATEST ESTIMATE IS FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE AFTER ALL OF THIS TIME ONE GUY ACTUALLY NOTICED THAT THE OIL WAS LITERALLY BURNING UP RIGHT AFTER HE CHANGED THE OIL. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT WITH A TODDLER FOR HOURS, AS WELL AS NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE CAR AT TIMES. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED MY CAR RANDOMLY SHAKING AND SMOKING IN TRAFFIC, AFTER WHICH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. MY CAR HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR WEEKS AT A TIME, MOST RECENTLY THIS PAST WEEK AFTER I WAS UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHO COULD FIX IT AND NOT KEEP RIPPING ME OFF. TO FIND OUT THERE WAS KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE BY TOYOTA AND NOTHING WAS SENT TO ME SAYS A LOT ABOUT HOW THE LIVES OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND/OR THEIR CUSTOMER FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD, ARE ACTUALLY VALUED. THE NUMBER OF CAMRY'S MANUFACTURED AND SOLD TO UNKNOWINGLY TRUSTING CONSUMERS IS BOTH SHOCKING AND SCARY.

IN MARCH OF 2015, WHILE LEAVING MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT PARKING LOT THE FLOOR MAT APPARENTLY INTERFERED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING THE CAR TO SPEED UP RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL, HITTING A FIRE HYDRANT HEAD ON. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. AFTER THE CAR WAS TOTALED, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THIS ISSUE SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. A LETTER FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY INDICATED THAT I WAS NOT AT FAULT AT CAUSING THE ACCIDENT BUT RATHER THE ACCIDENT WAS THE RESULT OF ONE OR MORE RECALLS WITH REGARD TO BRAKING CONCERNS: IN THE LETTER MY INSURANCE COMPANY REFERENCED A RECALL NOTICE; NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V017000. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING THIS MATTER; HOWEVER M REQUESTS HAVE GONE UNANSWERED OR HAVE BEEN IGNORED. WHEN MY CAR WAS TOTALED MY INSURANCE PAID THE FAIR MARKET VALUE TO THE LENDER WHICH ENDED UP CREATING A DEFICIENCY. I'M STRUGGLING TRY TO PAY FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AS WELL AS PAYING THE DEFICIENCY.

TOYOTA DEALER HAS CONDUCTED 3 SEPARATE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS ON MY CAR. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD MY CAR "PASSED" AND DID NOT MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. I CAN ONLY GO 1200-1800 MILES BEFORE I AM WARNED THAT MY OIL IS LOW. WE RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT AT APPROXIMATELY 1200 MILES AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE, MY CAR WAS REGISTERING "0" OIL. TOYOTA, WHILE KNOWING THEY HAVE A PROBLEM, ARE NOT HELPING ME AS A TOYOTA OWNER. I AM WARNED OF LOW OIL WHEN I BRAKE OR TURN. IN A SEPARATE INCIDENCE, I RECENTLY SPENT OVER $2500 ON THE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH I READ ABOUT CAMRYS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, IT DID NOT INVOLVE THE NON-HYBRID CAMRY. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN I WAS WARNED BY THE CAR OF THE PROBLEM.

THE CRASH HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT ON MARCH 19TH, 2016. I HAD ENTERED INTO THE PARKING SPOT, BY TURNING RIGHT. THE CAR HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD REVVING NOISE AND BEFORE I COULD EVEN REACT TO IT, THE CAR HAD JUMPED ON TO THE WALKWAY OF THE BUILDING. SINCE I HAD STOPPED, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING ON IT REALLY HARD, THE CAR DIDN'T STOP. IT SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND, BUT THEN ACCELERATED ITSELF AGAIN, JUMPED AHEAD ONCE MORE, WENT THROUGH THE AWNING OF A BUSINESS SUITE IN THE BUILDING AND HIT A LIGHT POST. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. AS, I HAD TURNED RIGHT TO ENTER INTO THE PARKING SPOT, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL TURNED TO THE RIGHT AND THE CAR TURNED RIGHT AND WENT PARALLEL TO THE CINDER BLOCK WALL OF THE BUILDING, INSTEAD OF GOING STRAIGHT AND HITTING THE WALL, WHICH COULD HAVE TURNED FATAL FOR ME AND MY CHILD. THIS VEHICAL HAD BEEN RECALLED EARLIER. I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA IN EARLY 2010 FOR "POTENTIAL FLOOR MAT INTERFERENCE WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL (SAFETY RECALL 90L)" AND HAD IT REPAIRED IN MAY 2010, FROM A LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER.

MY TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ALL SUDDEN AFTER 2 MINUTES OF DRIVING, HAD ALL OF ITS WARNING LIGHTS ON (LIKE ABS, ENGINE...) AND WITH THE VCS WARNING TEXT ACROSS THE DASH BOARD. IT WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE TO PULL IT OFF THE ROAD. I AM NOT SUE WHAT IS HAPPENING, BUT GOD FORBID IF THIS THING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENT. THE CARD WAS IN NO DRIVABLE AND CONSTITUTED A HUGE HAZARD. A CAR MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO LOSE POWER SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. SCARY EXPERIENCE AND MUST BE LOOKED BY THE RELEVANT AUTHORITY TO COMPEL TOYOTA TO INVESTIGATE AND MAY BE RECALL THOSE HYBRIDS.

THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, MY ABS/BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN AC SUDDENLY WENT OUT. TOYOTA STATED I NEEDED A BRAKE ACTUATOR. THE REPAIR COST $2615.

I HAVE A 2008 CAMRY LE AND IN EARLIER THIS YEAR I NOTICED THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, TACHOMETER BOUNCES UP AND DOWN AND SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 0. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY. UNLOCKING AND RE-LOCKING THE DOOR LOCKS RESETS TO NORMAL BUT ONLY LASTS SO LONG. LIKE SOME MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS , I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PAYING $3-4 K. A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER MECHANIC SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN A BRAKE ACTUATOR ON A CAMRY GO BAD. REALLY. I WOULD HOPE TOYOTA WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAVE A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO RESOLVE THIS. JUST LIKE THE ONE THEY HAVE GOING FOR THE HYBRID CAMRY IN THE SAME MODEL YEAR RANGE.

ABS & BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 CAMRY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0 AND A/C IS SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER TO CHECK THE PROBLEM. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS AN ABS ACTUATOR PROBLEM AND QUOTED $2500 FOR REPLACEMENT. I SURFED INTERNET AND FOUND THAT 2007-2011 CAMRY HYBRIDS HAD EXACT SAME PROBLEM COVERED BY TOYOTA USING WARRANTY EXTENSION. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT COVERED. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE RANGE SO IT WILL NOT BE COVERED. FAILURE TO FIX THIS PART IS GOING TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT CAN LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE. CASE # OPENED WITH TOYOTA IS [XXX].

WHILE DRIVING, NOT KNOWING HOW FAST THIS VEHICLE GOING IS VERY DANGEROUS, I AM A FEMALE AND I DRIVE MOST SO THE TIME DURING NIGHTS AND I AM VERY WORRY IF SOMETHING HAPPENS. I WENT FOR TOYOTA SERVICE AND THEY MENTIONED THAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS SITUATION WAS THAT I DID NOT BRING MY CAR FOR MAINTENANCE WITH TOYOTA IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS WHICH IS NOT TRUE. I WANT TO KNOW IF TOYOTA IS NOT DOING SOMETHING ON THIS REGARDS, I DO NOT HAVE THAT QUANTITY OF MONEY TO CORRECT THE SITUATION AND THEY MENTIONED THAT IF IT IS NOT CORRECTED I WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE BRAKES WILL FAIL. *TR

THE ISSUES STARTED WITH BOTH THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON EVERY SO OFTEN. THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON FOR ABOUT A 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE AND THEN TURN OFF. THIS WOULD HAPPEN MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A DAY. THEN THEY BEGAN TO TURN SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. WHEN THE ABS AND BREAK LIGHTS ARE ON, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER FALLS TO ZERO, AND THE TEMPERATURE GAGE JUMPS UP AND DOWN. THE AC ALSO BEGINS TO BLOW HOT AIR WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE WHEN IDLE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING AND YOU CANT TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING. IT IS ALSO AN ISSUE WHEN THE OTHER GAUGES IN YOUR VEHICLE ARE NOT WORKING AS YOU CANT TELL IF SOMETHING ELSE IS SERIOUSLY WRONG (FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CANT TELL IF YOUR CAR IS ACTUALLY RUNNING HOT OR COLD BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE DIAL JUMPS UP AND DOWN). I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE.

IN SUMMER OF 2013, POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED ON 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER, TURN AND PARK BUT HAD TO BE DRIVEN, THOUGH UNSAFE TO DRIVE, FOR 3 DAYS WHILE PUMP WAS ORDERED AND REPLACED. IN THE WEEK BEFORE THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED, THE ENGINE WAS FOUND TO BE BURNING OIL AND HAD TO BE REBUILT. DURING THIS SAME MONTH (AUGUST, 2013), THE GAS COVER COULD NOT BE OPENED TO REFILL THE GAS TANK WHILE OUT OF TOWN, REQUIRING A TEMPORARY CABLE FIX BY AN OUT-OF-TOWN DEALER. IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTUATOR FAILED, ALSO CAUSING LOSS OF SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE AND TACHOMETER FUNCTIONS. ABS ACTUATOR PART WAS ORDERED AND REPLACED.

IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY TOYOTA HAS NOT BEEN ADVISED AND DEMANDED TO RECALL TOYOTA CAMRY YEAR MODELS 2008 WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH REGARD TO THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FAILING IN THESE VEHICLES. AFTER READING AN EXTENDED VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS ON MANY SITES AND BLOGS WITH REGARD TO THE FAILING OF THESE ASSEMBLIES, I NOW SEE THAT NHTSA HAS DEMANDED TOYOTA AND LEXUS RECALL 2013 AND 2014 YEAR MODELS BECAUSE OF THIS SAME DEFECTIVE ISSUE. WHY IS TOYOTA NOT BEING DEMANDED TO RECALL ALL YEAR MODELS THAT HAVE THESE DEFECTIVE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLIES???? IT IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO ME THAT A RECALL CAN BE MADE OR DEMANDED FOR A CURRENT YEAR MODEL HOWEVER ALL OF US WHO OWN 2008 TOYOTA VEHICLES (ESPECIALLY AND NO EXPLAINABLE REASON, CAMRY'S) HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH NO CONCERN. WILL IT TAKE A DEATH OR MUTILATION TO FURTHER NHTSA TO MANDATE THAT TOYOTA TO RECALL A TOTALLY DEFECTIVE BRAKE SYSTEM PART. TOYOTA DEMANDS APPROXIMATELY $4,000 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY IN THESE 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY'S. THAT IS ROBBERY WITHOUT A WEAPON. WHY WILL CURRENT YEAR 2013 AND 2014 TOYOTA AND LEXUS OWNERS GET THEIR CARS REPAIRED "GRATIS". I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR AN EXPLANATION OF WHY 2013 AND 2014 TOYOTA AND LEXUS OWNERS WILL RECEIVE A "COMPLIMENTARY" RECALL OF THE BRAKE ACTUATOR DEFECT WHILE WE ALL DRIVE A 2008 CAMRY WITH SQUEAKING, JERKING, SLAMS TO A STOP WHEN STARTING IN REVERSE AND SHORT OF IT SOUNDING LIKE IT WILL BREAK AT ANY MOMENT WITH ALL THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS BEAMING (AND CANNOT GET THE CAR INSPECTED FOR LEGAL ROAD USE BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE ISSUE). PLEASE PLEASE VALUE THE 2008 CAMRY OWNERS. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS DEFECT IS NOT CREATED BY THE CAR OWNER. IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT TOYOTA PLACED WITHIN THESE 2008 CAMRY MODELS AND THEY WILL NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER NEXT DAY, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND IT WOULD COST ME $2492.00, PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE THE ABS ACTUATOR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT REGULAR BRAKING WOULD WORK, BUT THE ABS WOULD NOT. I LIKE MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2008. MY PRIOR 1996 CAMRY IS STILL RUNNING WELL, AND I ALSO LIKED IT. THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT THE 2008 MODEL. WHAT I DON'T LIKE A IS A CAR WITH UNDER PERFORMING, UNSAFE, FAULTY ENGINEERED OR SUBSTANDARD PARTS, WHICH MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS, LOSS OF LIFE AND CUSTOMER FRUSTRATION. *TR

I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE WARNING LIGHT CHECK VSC CAME ON. THE BRAKES WERE VERY WEAK AND DID NOT STOP THE CAR. I HAD TO ESCAPE ON TO THE SHOULDER AND HAVE THE CAR SLOW DOWN. *TR

UPON NO WARNING, THE POWER ASSIST MODULE IN MY 2008 CAMRY FAILED. FORTUNATELY MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF ROAD AND AVOID REAR ENDING SOMEONE WHEN THE CAMRY BRAKES FAILED TO PROVIDE PROPER AND SAFE BREAKING FORCE AS TYPICAL PRIOR TO THIS EVENT... *TR

THE ABS LIGHT ON MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY CAME ON MONDAY, JUNE 24TH. THE AC STARTED BLOWING WARM AIR, AND THE RPM AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES STARTED FLUTTERING. STADIUM TOYOTA IN TAMPA, FL HAD ME BRING IT IN AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR HAD GONE OUT. THIS BACKFEEDS ELECTRICITY INTO THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM ON TOYOTAS. I HAVE TO PAY $2300 FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH IS FOR A COMPUTER OF WHICH I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT MALFUNCTIONING. THE ABS IS OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES, AND I CAN'T IMAGINE EVERYONE CAN AFFORD IT. IS TOYOTA SETTING UP THE ROADS TO BE FILLED WITH VEHICLES WITHOUT ABS? *TR
