Brakes Failed Problems of Toyota Camry - part 2

We where driving to the store and on the way the check engine came on, so we pulled into the local autozone and they ran a scan for fault codes. It had a code p0171 which they said it coulf 1 of several posibilities and should have a repair shop perform a proper check to be sure what is actually going on. Well we continued on to the store, when coming to a stop my wife said we have no brakes, the pedal was going to the floor, we did come to a stop with hitting anything thank god. Well I drove from there back home very carefully. Once home I look under the hood for anything that be causing it to happen, and everything look inplace and ok. So next I got back into the car and push the brake pedal down and heard a loud air leaking from the brake pedal, I got down by the pedal and push on the the pedal with my hand and could hear air coming out the boot. I called a mechanic and explained to him what was happening and he said it is my power brake booster. Next I got on line and found that alot of 2007 Camry's with anywhere from 40,000 miles up to and over 200,000 that have the power brake booster failing, and when I tried to fine one for my car I found that there are none anywhere, even at the dealership. I did ask if they know of this problem and he paused for a moment, then said no. I believe this should be investigated be fore someone injured or killed.

My son was driving about 1/2 mile away from home while turning the brake failed and he hit the center curb and further to an on coming (stopped) vehicle. When he realized that the brakes are not working he pressed the emergency brakes that slowed the car. But the damage had already occurred. Our Toyota is 2012 and has been routinely maintained by Toyota dealerships. Brakes should not fail. We are glad that there was no apparent injury but the car is likely to be totaled. I request Toyota to do an investigation on what might have caused the brakes to fail.

I'm returning home from work and driving on a freeway with 60mph limit. I remember driving at 45mph and maintained a very good distance from the vehicle in front of me. The vehicle in front of me tried to slowed down and that prompted me to apply the brakes. All of a sudden brakes failed and couldn't control the car to stop. The car just skidded and hit the van with big force. Luckily the vehicle in front of me is a shuttle and no passengers injured. Engine and front part damaged very bad and I myself hit my face to the steering wheel. I cut my lip and hit on my nose very bad. I still recovering from injuries. Though the crash is so bad, air bags didn't deploy and resulted injuries on me. The police and others who tried to help me wondered why the air bags didn't deploy. All these days I'm trying to recover from the injuries and couldn't send this complaint over. I got the website reference after checking with my insurance company. Could you please help me on this? thank you in advance.

When I was driving in a residential neighborhood and coming to a stop sight to make a right turn. All the sudden, the car sped up and the brake was failing. Luckily there was no car in the opposite side. I was able to pull the car to the curb. I checked the brake and was functioning. Later, I have the car towed to piercey Toyota to diagnosis and they could not find anything wrong.

In summer of 2013, power steering pump failed on 2008 Toyota Camry. Car was very difficult to steer, turn and park but had to be driven, though unsafe to drive, for 3 days while pump was ordered and replaced. In the week before the power steering pump failed, the engine was found to be burning oil and had to be rebuilt. During this same month (August, 2013), the gas cover could not be opened to refill the gas tank while out of town, requiring a temporary cable fix by an out-of-town dealer. In the summer of 2014, the anti-lock brake system (abs) actuator failed, also causing loss of speedometer, temperature and tachometer functions. Abs actuator part was ordered and replaced. Then a week later, the brake booster failed (check engine light on multiple times), leaking when brake was depressed. These are just the major safety failures of this 2008 Toyota Camry, which has had other problems, purchased new in 2007 and maintained by the same dealer. This car is not safe or reliable to drive.

I turned on my Toyota Camry 2009 hybrid in the garage and was immediately met by numerous warning lights, an audible warning buzzer, and a message in the dash message center that read "check vsc. " I was going to drive the car to a mechanic but discovered that when I backed out of the garage that there was no braking action. They had completely failed. The car was placed on a computer which provided error code c1256 and c1391. Both codes indicate abs/vsc/trac malfunctions. I brought the vehicle to my local Toyota dealer and supplied a computer print out of the error codes. The problem was diagnosed as an internal leak in the abs accumulator module resulting in a loss of hydraulic pressure to the brakes. Cost of replacement with labor was quoted as $3,700. 00. I did some research and discovered numerous complaints by other Toyota owners with identical problem I encountered. I also discovered that Toyota has redesigned the abs annunciator module. I contacted Toyota corporate headquarters in California who denied any a problem with the part. If they are unaware of the problem, why did they redesign the part? this problem is extremely dangerous as in resulted in total brake failure. I was extremely lucky that my issue manifested itself while the car was parked and not at 70 mph on an interstate highway in heavy traffic. One website set up by someone who experienced this identical problem had thirty five entries in the guest book. Everyone had the same problem.

Upon no warning, the power assist module in my 2008 Camry failed. Fortunately my daughter was able to maneuver the vehicle off road and avoid rear ending someone when the Camry brakes failed to provide proper and safe breaking force as typical prior to this event. . .

While driving the vehicle failed to stop while the brakes were depressed. The failure occurred multiple times on dry, well paved roads. Brakes had to be depressed several times in order for the vehicle to come to a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times for the failure. The failure was not corrected and the brakes continued to fail while attempting to stop the vehicle.

I was moving cars in the driveway when I pulled the Camry back in the brakes failed to stop the car and it struck the corner of the garage. I was not going fast enough to even trip the airbag. The dealer claims that there is nothing wrong with the brakes. I know that this same thing has happened in arlington, TX. What can I do to get the car fixed it is only 7 months old and still under warranty?.

This has happened several times in virtually identical scenarios but the most recent was as follows: I was driving in moderately heavy traffic on a three lane divided street with traffic signals. Traffic was fluctuating between "stop & go" and approximately 30 mph. After a traffic light turned green, I began accelerating at a relatively rapid pace when a vehicle cut directly in front of me and braked. I immediately stepped on the brake but felt a tremendous amount of resistance from the pedal and the car was barely able to stop in time to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. I noticed that as I was attempting to brake, the engine was still revving at a high rate from the acceleration attempt. It seems that there is some type of problem with the braking system whereby if the engine is revving the brake will fail even if the accelerator pedal is no longer being pressed. A very important detail is that each time this has happened it has been within the first few seconds of a quick acceleration from a complete stop or a crawl. I have never had this problem when trying to stop from a normal speed.

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.

I owned 2010 Camry le and when it reached approx. 30,000 miles warranty the front brake started vibrating and I felt l like the wheel was going to come off when I stepped on the brakes from high speed and going downhill. I'm not a professional mechanic but I knew it was a warp brake rotor. I had the rotor turned and that's all it takes. I think it is very premature for a brake rotor to fail at 30,000 miles and most especially for a Camry. I was bit surprise when the dealer told me that my brake was no longer covered under warranty due to my mileage. All along I thought that it was 36mos/36000 miles bumper to bumper warranty but I was wrong, so no more Toyota next time and not recommending Toyota to family members and friends.

I owned a 2007 Camry le. On 3/05/11 my brakes failed while on the highway. I carined across the highway and then the car started flipping. The car flipped at least 3 times before hitting an exit sign. The exit sign then pierced the roof of the car and landed between my legs. Thank god I wasn't seriously hurt. But through all the flipping across the concrete, my airbags did not deploy. My complaint is brake failure and lack of airbag deployment.

I own a Toyota Camry hybrid, 2009. I am also experiencing the same brake failure problems that the Toyota 2010 prius is being recalled for. I noticed that when braking on down sloped roads, slippery roads, or bumpy roads, the car seems to accelerate while braking. This occurs for 1-2 seconds. It is a very scary feeling. Last week I narrowly avoided hitting 2 cars during a minor snow fall because while making a slow turn or braking the car again accelerated and the braking system failed momentarily. I verbally asked the dealer that I purchased the car from, and my neighborhood dealer 2 weeks ago while making a scheduled 15k mile service visit about the problem, but they weren't aware of it and suggested that it could be the hybrid system kicking in. A few days later I heard of the prius recall and was shocked when I read the reasons behind it. I am now scheduled for a service visit tomorrow at Toyota. At my last service visit they said the brakes were in good condition, but I think this is an electrical problem. Please investigate the Camry hybrids as well. This problems is reproducible and occurs every time that I am on a bumpy road and brake or on a slippery surface and brake.

I have a 2009 Toyota Camry that I purchased from darcars in silver spring, MD. , at the end of 2008. It is subject to the gas pedal recall and the floor mat recall, but I also have a separate problem. My brakes failed while I was driving to daycare/work on January 27th and I still do not know why. I was driving in downtown washington, d. C. , and my brakes did not work when I tried to stop for a red light on 14th street. I managed to avoid smashing into the car in front of me only because I was able to swerve into the oncoming lane, which luckily had no traffic. My car traveled roughly another half block before I was finally able to stop on the side of the road. It was quite scary, in part because I had my one-year-old and my three-year-old in the car with me when it happened. I left work early that day and took the car up to the dealer where I bought it, but they couldn't find anything wrong. At this point, though, I am scared to drive the car - especially with my kids - and I am thinking of selling it as soon as possible. I assume this is unrelated to any of the recent recalls affecting the Camry.

While driving my 2007 Toyota Camry and exiting off the interstate, I attempted to stop at the bottom of the ramp before turning onto the highway. The brakes were applied but car never came to a complete stop which forced me to enter onto the highway without regard to oncoming traffic. Luckily the right lane was clear and I was able to avoid an accident. The car was taken to the garage that day so they could work on it the next day. The problem was diagnosed as a bad brake booster which would need to be replaced at a cost of approximately $600. The brake failure happened with no warning. The only thing I ever noticed prior to this happening was that sometimes there would be a swooshing sound on the drivers side.
