On multiple occasions while driving brake warning lights come on brake pedal sinks to floor. Had this fixed as part of recall in 2014. Problem is now back. Brake fluid level was just above minimum. Added some brake fluid and problem stopped.

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…

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.

The card was in no drivable and constituted a huge hazard. A car…

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. My question to them is why was there a recall for the same part on the2008 toyota camry hybrid. I have never had or heard of a repair on this part. Of course, my warranty had expired.

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…

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…

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…

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…
