1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/21/2024

Vehicle brake assist hold was engaged, foot still depressed on the pedal. The car released the brake hold and starting rolling at 5 mph even with my foot still on the brake. I had to let off the brake pedal and slam back on it and the car didn't stop in time and still hit the car in front of me. Very light impact but as a result led to the whole front of the car being out of shape (bumper, grille, headlights). Was aware of its deactivation but was not aware that the force of the brake pedal does not override the auto hold assist when the assist is deactivated.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2022

When starting the car in low temperatures, approximately less than 30 degrees fahrenheit, the abs, vsc, and brake warning lights remain on after starting. Subsequent reading with an obd reader indicates a c1246 trouble code. Operation of the vehicle without working abs and vsc systems makes the vehicle inherently less safe and stable. I experienced several episodes of poor braking and skidding when driving in snow or rain before the problem was successfully diagnosed and repaired. The vehicle was serviced by orland Toyota several times before the problem was able to be reproduced and repaired. A complete replacement of the abs controller was required.

During a panic stop on dry pavement, after the abs brakes pulsed three times, at least the two front brakes locked up causing the car to skid. I could not tell if the rear brakes locked up. Wrote Toyota customer service about the issue. The case number is 1409112221. My brakes were inspected by my local Toyota dealer who reported to me that during a health check of the braking system they found nothing wrong. The mechanic and service manager stated to me that during hard stops the abs brakes may lock up. I thought abs stood for anti lock braking system.

14 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/07/2014

I was driving around the chicagoland suburb of wheaton with my mother one Saturday morning a few weeks ago. I began applying the brakes as you normally would as we approached a red light. As we drew closer to the stopped car in front of us, I applied the brakes more to come to a complete stop. The car was rolling at about 15 mph, but it was not slowing as I approached the stopped car ahead. I put my foot all the way to the ground attemping to apply the brakes entirely to come to a complete stop. The car would not stop! my mom began yelling for me to stop, and I screamed back that I was trying! I had my foot all the way down, and I was frantically pumping the brake, but it kept rolling, completely unresponsive to the brake pedal. The pedal felt "mushy" and was going all the way to the ground all too easily. I bumped the car in front of me, which is what finally brought me to a stop. The bump was light enough that the driver didn't notice, and there was not any damage. He let it go, and a report was not filed. I slammed the car into park at the light and got out so I could look around the pedals to see if something was jammed in there that would have caused this. There was not anything around the brake pedal that should have stopped it from working. It was not a floor mat problem. I put the car back in drive, and it continued on normally, brakes now working fine. I took it straight to Toyota and explained the incident (my mom served as a witness), and they ran diagnostics on my car. They seemed disturbingly unfazed by the story as if they get this kind of complaint a lot. Of course, they found nothing wrong. They said the 2013 Camry se was fine, and they didn't know what to tell me. Although the car has been fine since, I am terrified at what might happen when I am moving at higher speeds on the highway!! I loved that car, but now I am somewhat afraid of it!.

15 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/27/2014

As I turned into a parking spot in my 2013 Toyota Camry (7 months old) and put on the brakes, the window wipers started going like mad and the car accelerated at an alarming rate. At the time I had both hands on the wheel and I never touched the accelerator. It was the scariest experience of my life. I had no control of the vehicle because it took on a life of its own. It surged over the one foot curb (there is a huge drop on the other side of the curb) and smashed into a lightpole. The car is totaled.

16 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2013

Ever since I've had my car if it's raining or snowing or even if I'm trying to brake going over a painted line or railroad track my traction light will come on & the car will slide. I've always had good tires on the car so that's not the issue. I was told if the traction light comes on the car is doing it's job. I'm no dummy. I've been driving over 20 yrs of my life & never had a car do that before even with bad tires.
