Turned off VSC okay. Seems like it was better, but not all the time. I keep driving with it on, then off, then on. Problem is still there. Really feels like brake drum our of round, but 3 different shops have found no problem.
 
Can you disengage the ABS?

Have you considered that your front brake rotors could be warped from excessive heat?

You are much more likely to feel the effect of a warped rotor or one with thickness variation than an out-of-round drum. In fact, it's very unlikely that a drum would develop that condition on its own.
 
I once bought cheap aftermarket drums and they were out of round by .030" I could feel that. It only takes a few thousandths of rotor thickness variation to feel it in the pedal.

There are no drums on a 2007 Camry, all 4 wheels are rotors.

Maintenance Required Check Light by oracle_of_rock
May 18, 2008 (11:46 am)

Yesterday my maintenance required check light came on and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to clear this message. All it is supposed to do is remind me to change my oil (which needs no reminding).
 
According to the manual, you set the odometer on Trip A, make sure the ignition is set to ON, and depress the Trip A reset until the message indicates its reset(about 5 seconds). Now I have the push button ignition which may complicate things a little but still, following the manual direction it will not reset.
 
Any suggestions or pointers.

I don't know, I just followed the manual and never had a problem.

You're not doing it correctly. From a previously saved post:
 
Begin with the odometer in the normal mode (total accumulated miles, not trip A or trip B mode). Turn the car off, press the trip/odometer "stick" and keep pressing it while turning the ignition key (push button in your case) back to the on position (you don't need to start the engine).
   
As you continue to press the stick in, the odometer will count down from 5 or 6 dashes to blank, and then the actual mileage will show again. At that point, release the stick and the light should go out.

Hi,
 
How were you able to turn off VSC? I have a 2007 Camry with VSC. I thought it wasn't possible on the 2007?

2007 Camry 30k service pricing by peterj77
Sep 03, 2008 (8:13 am)

I just called my nearest Toyota dealer to ask about pricing for the 30k service on my 07 Camry. They told me it would be $425 plus tax! I am now thinking of just taking it to my local shop for an oil change, lube, rotation and general check-up.
 
Is there any real advantage to taking your car to a dealer for servicing, apart from the extra cash that goes in their pocket? In your experience, will a reputable shop that deals in American cars be able to service a Toyota with no problems?
 
Thank you,
Peter

Any decent shop can do it - VERY easy, nothing to really do except engine and cabin air filters, change oil and oil filter, visual inspections, rotate tires. In general, Toyotas are VERY easy to work on.
 
Just follow the service guide in your owner's manual - it tells what needs to be done and when.
 
Some will disagree, but I caution people to use only Toyota parts, which you can buy at your dealer or on line.
