“On my 2007 Camry Hybrid, as I was reversing, the brakes all of a sudden engaged, braking so hard it felt like I hit something. Soon after, the brake light, traction control and ABS lights turned on, and check vsc system displayed. Vsc warning lights and display message intermittently turn off and turn back on arbitrarily.”

NHTSA complaint #11112277, filed 2018-07, 118,000 miles

“My car will not let me accelerate past 40mph. Once I do pass 40mph my check engine light and check hybrid system light comes on and the car shuts down right after. This is all when driving the vehicle. The first time happened on the highway when I went 65 and it cut straight out.”

“Check vsc system . Brake system will not work properly. Must push very hard to get any braking. Then the vsc will engage and brake very hard. I experienced this one week ago; my wife experienced it this morning dropping of the kids to school. The car has a very dangerous jerking action as the brakes engage and disengage based on the computer.”

NHTSA complaint #10691459, filed 2015-03, 180,000 miles

“I was driving on the road at a speed of 35 miles per hour and all of a sudden the check vsc system light turned on my dashboard and the brake of the car became loose. When I try to slow the car down by applying the brake, it wouldn't let me do so. I was approaching the traffic light and I had to press the brake too hard so that the car can stop. Finally, I was able to stop it by applying the emergency brake.”
