2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid steering problems

“The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at approximately 20-25 MPH over gravel, the steering wheel locked, preventing steering control. The vehicle crashed center mass into the corner of a building. The air bags failed to deploy upon impact. Smoke was present following the crash, rendering the vehicle undrivable. The vehicle was towed to a service center. The driver and passengers sustained muscle injuries and received medical treatment from a Doctor. The insurance company inspected the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.”

“My brake pedal when depressed, when stopped, makes a loud noise. My car cycles a buzzing sound often, even when the brakes are not depressed. My warning lights : check VSC system, ABS , warning triangle, a circle with and exclamation point and brake, all are continuing to light up on my dash. I took it to the dealer. Code C1391 (ABS ACRTUATOR INTERNAL FAILURE). This is serious and can cause my brakes and steering control to fail. The manufacturer warranty has expired.”

“CAR HAD VSC SYSTEM REPLACED DUE TO RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO. HAVING ISSUES AGAIN WITH VSC SYSTEM LIGHT COMING ON, ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.”

“WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL OF THE GAUGES STALLED OUT WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. THE CAR GAUGES CAME BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES, PRESENTLY THE GAUGES ARE TAKING A LONGER TIME TO COME BACK ON, IN ADDITION WHILE THE GAUGES ARE OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER GOES OFF AS WELL, WHEN ALL THE GAUGES COME BACK ON THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE THE CARE OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE WHEN THE GAUGES GO OFF THE CAR IS HARD TO STEER. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME CAR IS DRIVEN.”

“I GOT IN MY VEHICLE TODAY IN THE VSC LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED OVER GOOGLE, AND EVERYTHING POINTS TO A $3,000 REPAIR, OR A RECALL REPAIRABLE BY TOYOTA. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF I AM ELIGIBLE FOR THAT RECALL REPAIR.”

“SOMETIMES AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE IT WON'T MOVE TO DRIVE OR BACK UP. THIS HAPPENS THREE TO FOUR TIMES ALREADY SINCE 2009 OR AFTER IT IS IN A PARKING POSITION AND CHANGE DIRECTION THE STEERING WHEEL LOST CONTROL OR DIRECTION THIS HAPPEN 2X ALREADY.”
