Brake Fluid Leak Problems of Toyota Camry

I can still drive the car but what I think is defective is that, with the car parked, I can push the brake pedal all the way to the floor. There are no leaks of brake fluid so it must be going into the antillock braking system. There must be an internal leak within the abs and I'm concerned that might affect it's functionality.

I had just exited a freeway, and was entering the surface streets via a stoplight. After turning onto the surface street, the signal ahead turned red. I attempted to apply the brakes in traffic while traveling at or less than 20 m. P. H. , but the brakes did not respond as normal. I pushed the brake pedal down and the vehicle did not stop as normal. Instead, the pedal depressed further than normal, and I felt a heavy vibration feedback through the pedal. I was approximately 2-3 car lengths from the car in front of me, and I pumped the brakes and depressed the pedal as far as I could physically manage. At that point, the vehicle began to slow, but so gradually that I was certain to collide with the car in front of me. I then steered to the right (I was in the rightmost lane) toward the curb of the sidewalk. The front passenger wheel went up on the curb and the vehicle stopped. I put on the hazard signal, then when traffic cleared behind me, pulled into a gas station approximately 40 feet in front of me. When I steered back onto the roadway after initially stopping, the steering felt very loose, and I felt as though I was driving on ice or without control over the steering. Once in the gas station parking lot, I put the car in park, and turned off the engine. I examined the pedals for blockage and looked for fluid leaks, but found nothing. I started the vehicle and tested the gas and brakes in the empty parking area, and everything responded as normal. However, the front passenger tire has a tear in the sidewall and the rim is lightly damaged.

I would like to request that the NHTSA to investigate a serious failure associated with the brake systems on 2007 Toyota Camry cars. On Tuesday 9/6/11, the brake pedal on our Camry went to the floor and the car did not slow down while my wife was driving it. She had to hit the brakes again when the pedal came back up in order to stop the car before hitting the car in front of her. This has been a frightening experience for her and we can not figure out what has gone wrong. When I checked the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir it was at its normal level between min and max. Out of safety concern for my wife and son, I took the car to the Toyota dealership so that the could identify the root cause of the problem and fix it I felt that they would be the best choice. I did not want to take a any chances by taking it to a lower cost repair shop. After having the car at the service center of the dealership for the whole day, I was told that they could not find anything wrong with the brake system. They said that the brake pads are fine and that they still have 60% life remaining on them, there is no brake fluid leakage anywhere and that they have driven it and they can not make the same failure to happen again. The service advisor's input was that in case the same problem happens again just apply the emergency brake. I picked up the car from the Toyota dealership on Wednesday night, and I drove it myself for a few miles and I did not notice any problems with the brakes either. This incident has left me and my wife puzzled, concerned, frightened and worried that the same failure could happen again with an unpleasant results and that other Toyota Camry users may experience a similar problem. Please conduct a full investigation of this problem and advise as to what the root cause might be. We are the first owners of this vehicle and it has never been in an accident.

On the date in question, I was standing still at a red light. There was heavy rain. When the light turned green I proceeded through the intersection. The vehicle in front of me was approximately 5 car-lengths ahead of me. Traffic suddenly came to an abrupt stop. I hit my brake, skidded the entire distance between myself and the vehicle stopped in front of me and hit it in the rear. My entire front-end was smashed in; the vehicle I hit was a late model Ford explorer which sustained no damage. There were no injuries, however, my air bag did not deploy, my entire front end was demolished after proceeding a short distance at a low rate of speed. There were fluids leaking and smoke emanating from under the hood. The was declared by the police to be undriveable and had to be towed to a repair shop.

I own a 2008 Toyota Camry and have had a few serious problems that were never recognized by the Toyota dealer which I always serviced the car. They range from small to serious. Front struts seem to be leaking hydraulic fluid, I also complained about a steering problem to the dealer, they inspected the car and told me they found nothing wrong. The steering issue was very apparent, and now has gotten worse. When cornering at low or higher speeds the car seems to skip, and controlling the car gets much more difficult, which becomes a serious safety issue for me. There where service bulletins available for these issues but yet my car was never repaired. Another issue I have noticed has been with braking, the car will vibrate dramatically once brakes are applied. The brakes have been replaced and rotors have been cut 5 months ago. The car has new tires and has been aligned in the past 6 months as requested by the Toyota dealer, yet the steering problems persist. I feel very unsafe driving this car, in back of my mind I feel like something serious might happen every time I get in this car and drive it. I have no confidence driving this car.

As the time approached for our second routine oil change (roughly 6000 miles), our brake warning light started to come on and off. My husband took it to the dealer (keith murray) and reported it. They said that it needed brake fluid, and replace the brake fluid as they did the oil change. This happened near the 9000 mile mark as well, and they again only replaced the brake fluid. , this time, we insisted that they check the brakes because we knew that a new vehicle should not require brake fluid replacement so often. The mileage on our Camry is now 13, 836. The dealer reported that our car was indeed leaking brake fluid, and that the brake caliper need replacing. According to the work order dated 10/9/01, the following work was done: "replaced front driver's side brake caliper. " it is my concern that there may be other vehicles of the same make/model with defective brakes. If we had not persisted, our brakes may have failed. Again, the only warning we had was the brake warning light coming on and off while driving, always occuring near time for the next oil change (every 3000 miles).
