The abs brake actuator on my Toyota Camry Hybrid has gone bad causing my vehicle to be unsafe for operation. I was initially told that the actuator would be covered under a warranty extension. However after further inspection, I was told that it would not be covered because there isn't any warning lights on the dashboard and/or no error codes present when hooked up to a scan tool even though the part is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Brake actuator: my brakes were making a creaking noise /thumping when pressed. . . In which case I thought it was just time for regular maintenance. About 0430, December 21, 2017 (my wedding anniversary) I was driving on the highway 99south headed from fresno, CA to tulare, CA. . . About a 45min drive. While on the highway, my car started to make random chiming sounds that did not seem to come from anywhere particular. There was no indicator light associated with the sound. . . It was just random sounds I had never heard before. That went on periodically for the next 20-30mins. I finally made it to the prosperity Ave off-ramp and began to press the breaks. Immediately, all of the lights on my panel lit up and a steady, high pitch sound came on and I couldn't stop my car. I panicked, continuously trying to break pushing hard as I can. I ended up being able to lead it off the exit and into a popeyes parking lot next to the off-ramp where it eventually came to a stop. Thank the lord that no one was on the road that early in the morning. The car was towed from tulare back to fresno (Toyota corporate office would not refund that 200 bucks). Toyota dealership said it was the break actuator, it was a "warranty" that they'd cover at no cost. I asked why I wasn't notified since the situation is life threatening and there were no answers for that. Toyota had my car for about a month because I demanded they repair everything associated with the breaks. . . Quite honestly I was just afraid to drive the car. Eventually, I drove it again with my anxiety gradually diminishing. . . But by no means gone. I visited a mental health doctor to help, although it didn't. 23 July 2019, it went out again. Will post that event on separate entry.
The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid. While driving approximately 40 mph and attempting to engage the brakes, the brakes malfunctioned causing the vehicle to crash into the rear of a second vehicle. While depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle slowed down but did not respond normally. The air bags failed to deploy. No injuries were reported and a police report was not filed. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 71,350.
I have noticed lately that when I depress my brake pedal, it starts to slow the car down, but suddenly disengages and I have to depress much harder. It's almost like the brakes let go. I know there is an issue with earlier models and their brakes, is it possible it would extend to 2012 Camry Hybrids?.
