I have a 2018 camry with this problem but it has more than 36000 miles so the dealer is trying to charge me over $2500! I see Toyota has issued a recall on another vehicle from the same year for the same problem. We shouldn't have to pay that kind of money to fix a known issue with a car we bought new and have owned for only 13 months! Are there any other recalls for this or any other options for owners that might make us not regret buying a Toyota in the first place?

The fix is to reprogram the abs computer. They should change only about $200 to fix this for you. You need to see another Toyota Dealer.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but is the abs computer different than the skid control ecu? The $2500 quote they gave me was to reprogram the skid control ecu like what was described in this thread.

I found the problem. They were wanting to replace the skid control ecu, not reprogram it. I called them and told them I didn't need it replaced so now they say they will do it for $108! Thanks for your help! Hope this works!

I just called my Toyota Dealer there are no service bulletins for my 2018 Toyota Camry XSE, and I cannot find the Service Bulletin anywhere for it.

On a trip back from Yosemite, my parking brake light came on the dash. Notice on the screen was to stop the car, do not use the parking brake. Parking brake could fail, that kind of good stuff, right before your about to go over the grapevine makes you feel real good. I took the car to my dealer here in Temecula, Ca. They charged my 900.00 to replace the switch, and told me I spilled soda on it and that is why it failed. Upset, I came and started searching on line to find out why the switch failed. Only to find several complaints about similar problems. No more Toyotas for me. Bad product and bad service.
