Brakes Failed problems of the 1999 Toyota Camry

My daughter was traveling north at 40 mph, and she turned around briefly to check if her little brother was buckled in his seat belt. When she turn back around the car was on the curve and she slammed on the brakes as hard as she could to stop the car, but the car wouldn't stop and preceded to accelerate. She went through partially two brick walls, knocked down a stop and street sign, and the car flipped a couple of times. The car ended up landing on the passenger side, leaving the car left side up. My daughter suffered injuries to the neck, back, and her knees were cut from the glass of the window in a result of the car crashing. Luckily, my son suffered no injuries. I am very concerned, why did the brakes fail in my daughter's attempt to stop the vehicle.

The consumer believed the brake problem the problem concerned abs pump. While driving the brakes failed. Every two-three months this problem occurred, at least twenty times. This problem first started in September 2001. The first documentation was for may of 2002. There have been several near accidents, but none as of yet. The dealer was unsure of the exact problem because they were unable to find it. They have told the consumer numbers possibilities, but still has not fixed the problem. Also, there was also a problem with the engine. They changed the timing belt because of engine noise. They told the consumer that there was a problem with the water pump and it was changed. The consumer had a report from the dealership. But, not all of the times that vehicle was taken to the dealer was included in the report. The consumer believed that engine problem was with the valve and the lifters.

The unreliable brakes on my car are my gravest concern of the several problems Ive had. The electrical problems with this car began only one month into ownership. These problems were mostly corrected by a rewire that was done in October 1999. Occasionally, though, a window wont open still. The brakes first failed in the winter of 00-01, and I took the car in for service. The dealership could not replicate the problem. I continued to drive the car, since the problem rarely occurred. It became more frequent and pronounced, however. Eventually in July 2001, I slid through an intersection on a hot sunny day on dry roads. I was convinced the car was not performing properly. At this point (August 2001), it is unsteady enough on good roads that I brake with extreme caution at all times. Twice, now, in the last week the abs has engaged when the brakes were not engaged  once during acceleration, once when completing a stop (that started at about 15 mph). The third dealership I contacted listened to the problem carefully and then explained to me that the car was performing exactly as designed, and this safety feature (the abs) was designed to protect from loss of control. I can certainly control the direction of the car well when its skidding, but I consider the ability to reduce speed an equally important element of control. If a child on a tricycle crossed unexpectedly in front of me, I am almost certain the car could not be stopped in time to avoid an accident, no matter how slowly I was going. The abs takes over even at very low speeds (0-15mph), tripling my stopping distance on the driest, smoothest roads. I know this would be a compelling suit coming from the attorney of a cripple, but I am only interested in being safe and alive. This car is unsafe, and I am exasperated at Toyotas refusal to take responsibility for the problem.
