I have a car Toyota Camry 2003 and had two car accidents (crash) in the past five years because of the brake failure.
The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that he experienced brake failure several times while driving 60 mph, causing him to be involved in three vehicle crashes crashing into the rear of two vehicles and the driver side of another. There was one reported injury. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the dealer did not perform a diagnostic test for the brake failure. The manufacturing engineer examined the event data recorder but there was no recorded brake failure. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 87,000 and the current mileage was 191,600.
To whom it may concern: I am writing with regard to a 2003 Toyota Camry, VIN 4t1be32k33u196809, purchased in the summer of 2003. On December 14, 2005, I took the car into jon lancaster Toyota/scion dealership. Prior to bringing the car in, on 3 occasions, the brakes failed. Upon attempting to brake, the brake pedal began vibrating and there was a thudding sound. The car did not brake and I had to push the pedal 5 times in order for the car to slow down. However the car did not stop completely. According to the documents, a technician checked over the brake system and stated there was no problem. An employee stated that the thudding noise and the inability to stop was normal which this type of brake system and that he has had several customers in the past complain of this problem. Since the inspection, the car has failed to brake on two occasions. I contacted rosemurgy Toyota, the dealership where I purchased the car, and they informed me to bring the car back to jon lancaster. However, jon lancaster dealership is insisting that the brake system is functioning normally. This car is extremely unsafe not only to it occupants but also to others on the road. This car is under warranty and I am writing to insist that this matter be looked into and resulting in repair or replacement of the car. I have contacted an attorney regarding this matter. Also, I will be forwarding a copy of this letter to the wisconsin consumer protection agency and the us department of transportation.
I parked my 2003 Camry (with under 5000 miles on it) on a steep, circular driveway on a drizzly morning. When I went to leave, creeping from a dead start, my brakes failed. . . Or my tires didn't grip the asphalt. I don't know which. I jammed my foot on the brakes and nothing happened. I went skidding down the incline. When I reached the bottom, my car finally stopped. Fortunately there was no cross traffic, so I avoided a collision. I have photos of the extensive skid marks left by my car.
