Are you talking about the brake light symbol?
 
Check your owners manual.....if it's the brake light symbol you reference, it says that if your parking brake is off.....stop vehicle immediately and contact Toyota. That one?
Looks like a round brake rotor, with symbol in the middle. Warns you of a brake problem.
 
Or are you talking about the TPMS (tire pressure monitoring symbol)? Looks like a cut slice of a tire, with symbol in the middle. Warns you of a tire with low pressure or going flat.
 
They both have the exclamation sign in them.

2009 Toyota Camry - Air Condtioner failure by nancygaye

I have had my 2009 Toyota Camry 17 months. I drive alot and have taken lots of trips to North Carolina, Texas, Lousiana, etc. so I am already up to 39,000 miles. So, this weekend I notice that my AC isn't cooling. I take it to the dealer today and they tell me my air compressor is out. Thankfully I bought the extended warrantly when I purchased the car so it is covered. Apparently the standard warranty is only good for 36,000 miles. The total bill is going to be like $2,300. I told the service guy that I would have been so incredibly upset had I not bought that extended warranty. I had a Corolla several years ago and never had one problem the 3 years that I had it. Nothing. I am really disappointed. If not for that extended warranty I would be stuck with new car with no AC. It is too hot in Arkansas not to have a car AC. I know this isn't normal but has anyone heard any problems like this with the 09s? I expect more from Toyota. Thanks.

I have a 2007 (same as 2009). I have not had any problems, and I have not read of any problems with compressors failing in unusually big numbers. If I did read that there was a problem, I'd be buying an extended warranty right now! Please call Toyota (the 800 number to Toyota corporate) and nicely explain your problem, noting that you are just over the miles, you've owned Toyotas before, etc. There is a chance you could get this covered or partly covered, because you are just over the 36,000 miles.

Well, it's covered under the extended warranty. So, I think talking to toyota is a waste of time.

The concept of Toyota's invincibility is nothing more than a myth.
 
Read the Toyota in Decline in 2009 board on Edmunds:

No car is invincible, but Toyotas, Hondas, and now Fords have better overall reliability than the rest.
 
Still have your Impala and how's it doing?

The Impala SS is wonderful: trouble-free, quiet, has a superb sound system and never fails to put a wide grin on my face when I engage that fabulous V-8 displacement-on-demand engine with its throaty growl! I'm getting 26 miles to the gallon on the highway at 70 mph. It is one of the best cars I have ever had (and I've had a few!).
 
And as far as Toyota goes, I wouldn't exactly say it is in good shape in any respect. Neither does its CEO:

Oh, sorry, I missed the part about you having the extended warranty.

Panic alarm goes off intermittently by cmor1701d

I have an ’09 XLE. For the past few months the panic alarm has gone off while the car is parked. This is a totally random event that normally occurs at night. Yesterday it happened three time in the office lot while I was in a meeting in another building. Then when I got home it happened two more times.
I found that this may have been an in issue in 2007, and that replacing the hood latch and sensor fixed the problem. When I called a local dealer about it I was told to bring it in and they would check the electrical system. When I mentioned the hood latch/sensor the rep said “Oh yea, I remember something like that”. I asked them to order the parts so this could be done in one visit and he refused.
He said that if they didn’t find another reason they would then order the hood latch and sensor and I could come back a few days later. Is it unreasonable for me to expect them to pre-order the parts?

Well it COULD maybe need a hood switch, but it COULD maybe be a number of other problems as well. It might not need any parts, an adjustment, cleaning some connectors, or maybe it's a door switch, etc.
 
So as much as I hate having to go (and then go back) to the dealership for repairs or parts, I could see where they wouldn't need or want to go buy some part that may end up sitting on their parts shelf.
