Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2009 Toyota Camry

Car used mostly on highways, so brakes not used too much, slow down more using cruise control. 07. 25. 2011, at 32,600 miles, right rear brakepads were completely gone and start grinding on disc. Three days before that this car was inspected for 30,000 miles and rear brakepads were at 4 mm. Service advisor said they didn't inspect the brakepads three days before because I did not bought the tire rotation, so they just "visually inspect" and fill the paper with numbers just to be filled. 09. 17. 2011, at 34,400 miles, brakepads replaced again for noise after releasing the brake pedals which had also slightly vibration during releasing. This noise continue all the time after that, even after this brakepad replacement. 10. 10. 2013, at 61,400 miles, same right rear brakepads were completely gone after visually inspection done during tire rotation and those brake pads were in good shape 2-3 months before. Service advisor tried to sell me many other thing instead to pay attention to my concern about Camry's, and stated rear brakepads life is 30,000 miles, which I believe is not true. 10. 27. 2013, at 62,000 miles, during the trip on mountain parkway road when I use car brake all the time, same right rear wheel begun to make continuous noise 10-15 second after releasing the brake pedal. The right rear wheel was hot, the other wheel have normal temperature. 11. 04. 2013, at 62,900 went back to Toyota service and they found the emergency brake (which they stated is combined with rear pedal brake system) cable too tight and adjusted. I believe I paid the brakepads twice and rotors once because they don't care about customers and want you back for more money, for their negligence, and because Toyota car reliability is just a story. I read here more scary issue with rear brakes at high speed and I want people to know about this issue.

I was having extreme vibration on my 2009 Toyota Camry when driving over 65 mph on some state interstates. This happened most noticabley when reaching speeds of over 60 mph, and the tires were litterally skipping off the road when breaking and you would lose control of the vehical, which could lead to a crash cauasing a death. This is on a 2009 Toyota Camry. This was taken into the dealership several times, and it was finally addressed. I called Toyota and they said they did not have a TSB on my situation. They lied. 3. I took the car to the Toyota dealership and they found due to defect in materials used by Toyota motor corporation, that there was premature warpage on the brake rotors. Also the dealership realized Toyota put out a TSB -0169-9 on June 4 2009. Yet when I called Toyota customer care and specifically asked if there was a TSB for brake rotors the cusomer service rep. Said no. But this was not presented to me until after my car went over 36k miles. My car has 37. 7k miles. Yet I took my car in at 35k miles, and this was not fixed under warranty. Toyota customer care refused to even address my problem, and told me there were no TSB bulletins out on this and I spoke to chris at Toyota customer care, and even when I called in August they told my there were not TSB bulletins. Toyota has a serious issues with their brake pads and rotors that can cuase the tires to leave the road when braking. I have also called Toyota over a year ago about this and they denied that there was anything wrong. Now I have to pay for the repairs because Toyota failed to notify me and my dealer. This should be a recall investigation as this can lead to a serious accident and even cause death.

2009 Toyota Camry. Consumer writes regarding vehicle stalling in the acceleration process the dealer stated the stall in the acceleration, was caused by the sequencing of the transmission. The stall would occur as the consumer made a rapid change from deceleration to acceleration. The consumer was informed the stall was a built in design feature. The consumer stated to minimize the stall, she must manually down shift the transmission whenever the engine is in the deceleration phase. Recently, a slow moving 18 wheeler unexpectedly pulled into the consumers lane of traffic, while traveling at highway speeds. The consumer stated her natural reaction was to remove her foot from the accelerator, putting the engine /transmission into deceleration mode. As the situation unfolded, she concluded that the rapid acceleration and lane change was the safest method. When the consumer tried to accelerate around the truck, there was no reaction from the vehicle. The transmission delayed responding and when it did respond, it chose a gear which produced no meaningful forward motion, but lots of noise. Consequently, she was forced to brake very hard, but the brakes failed to perform as designed. The next day, the dealer explained there was a factory alert issue on the brake pads. The pads were replaced, and the rotors were turned.

The sound would cease once the brake pedal was depressed and would occur intermittently. The dealer advised that the rotors were warped. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure progressed and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the rotors and brake pads were replaced. The failure persisted. The dealer then discovered that the brake pads were fractured in two. The vehicle was left with the dealer where the contact was awaiting repairs. A complaint was filed with the manufacturer.

I live in the chicago area and recently purchased a 2009 Toyota Camry se with 35k miles on it in Nov 2009. In late December I was driving home from work - it was rainy and about 30 degrees outside and the roads were a bit slippery. The car in front of me (far ahead) applied its brakes to make a left turn. I went to apply my brakes to slow down and the car would not stop! I did not feel the brakes apply and slow my vehicle. I pushed down on the brake harder and it did nothing. It was not until I lifted my foot off the brake and reapplied it that the car started to slow. Luckily I was not too close to the car in front. The next day, I went to the my local mechanic and paid him to look at my brakes to make sure they were safe. He did not see anything wrong with the pads or rotors. Yesterday the same thing happened. The weather was a mix of rain and ice and about 20 degrees. I am not afraid to buy my new car and feel something needs to be done to address this issue. I have read in forums where similar occurrences have happened to Camry owners as well. Please help!.
