Three problems related to brake grinding noise have been reported for the 1998 Toyota Camry. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In a parking lot getting ready to pull onto a major highway brakes failed, and vehicle slid into the highway. Contacted dealer who couldn't find anything wrong. Let sister drive it, and she heard grinding noise. Also could feel it under the pedal. Had the vehicle serviced, and they replaced the front brake pads, but problem continued.
Brakes make a grinding noise and do not work properly.
The brakes are making grinding noise. They have been changed once by the dealership at 13000 miles, and then at 27000 miles they were again changed by sears. But the brakes are getting worn out easily and the grinding sound will not stop. The left and right seat belts have both failed at 20000 and 27000. They get stuck and wont come in or out. They have been changed by the dealer.
