2009 Toyota Camry electronic stability control (esc) problems

“VSC WARNING APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. ABS WARNING LIGHT AND PS LIGHT IS ON TOO. I HAD THE ABS ACTUATOR REPLACED IN FEBRUARY 2019 WHEN THE VSC WARNING FIRST APPEARED. I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE PLUS THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE STORE, WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR AND TURNED CAR ON, THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND WILL NOT TURN OFF.”

“MAINTENANCE LIGHT WAS ON, CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING EVEN AFTER DEALERSHIP CHECKED IT OUT, TIRES WERE WORN OUT, ALSO CAR MADE NOISES ON FRONT RIGHT PASSENGE SIDE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND SOME TIME SHAKED FROM RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.”

“WHILE DRIVING, MY BRAKES HAVE GONE OUT (AS IN I HAVE NO BRAKES) SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. AT THE SAME TIME MY (ABS, CHECK VSC SYSTEM) LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND MY BRAKE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ILLUMINATED. I VERY CAREFULLY DROVE IT HOME AND WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT TO FIX.”

“THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN FINE BUT WITH SOME DASH BOARD LIGHTS WENT TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID I HAVE TO REPLACE ABS ACTUATOR ASSY.. I SAW EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THAT BUT NO SAFETY RECALLS. IF ISSUES ARE EXPECTED WITH PARTS, SHOULD NOT THERE BE SAFETY RECALLS INSTEAD OF EXTENDING WARRANTIES ONLY. WHY IS TOYOTA SAYING THERE MIGHT BE PARTS THAT MIGHT NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY BUT WILL BE FIXED ONLY THE PARTS FALL BY CERTAIN TIME. I AM WORRIED TO DRIVE WITH DASH BOARD LIGHTS OF BRAKES, ABS AND CHECK BACK SYSTEM LIGHT ON. TO FIX IT, I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $1600 FOR THE PART THAT SHOULD HAVE THE PART OF SAFETY RECALL.”

“THE HAND BRAKE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S COASTING AND HAVE NO TRACTION CONTROL. ALL OF THE SUDDEN, ALL LIGHTS TURN ON DASHBOARD AND CHECK VSC SYSTEM COMES ON, BRAKES ARE HARD TO ENGAGE AND STEERING CONTROL IS DIFFICULT. CAR DRIVES LIKE THAT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN ALL GOES BACK TO NORMAL. FEW DAYS LATER IT STARTS UP AGAIN WITH THE BREAK LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF. IT HAPPENS DURING DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS: STRAIGHT CITY STREET, WHILE TURNING, GOING DOWN A HILL OR ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP. THIS MAKES IT REALLY SCARY AS I AM IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN I AM TRYING TO BREAK AND THE BREAK DO NOT ENGAGE AND STEERING CONTROL IS AFFECTED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANIC AFTER THE INCIDENTS AND THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND THERE ARE NO FAILURE CODES. HOWEVER, THE ISSUE KEEPS GOING ON MAKING ME TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR.”

“MY VSC LIGHT IS ON ALONG WITH THE ABS AND THE BRAKE LIGHT. WHILE TAKING A 1 1/2 HOUR TRIPT THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND STAYED OFF FOR A FEW DAYS. WHILE TAKING ANOTHER HIGHWAY TRIP TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT, THE LIGHT WAS OFF UNTIL AFTER DRIVING FOR TWO HOURS I STOPPED AT A RESTAURANT. THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON, AND HAVE BEEN ON EVER SINCE.”
