SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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! *TR

DURING THE FALL OF 2008 I PURCHASED A NEW 2009 CAMRY. NOVEMBER OF 2008 I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE FASTER WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED IT, DROVE IT AND SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I'VE HAD SEVERAL OTHER INCIDENTS OF ACCELERATION OVER THE NEXT YEAR. I'VE REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT. LAST WEEK I WAS AT THE A SHOPPING MALL AND WAS WAITING TO TURN DOWN A LANE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED. I WOULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE IF ANYONE HAD BEEN STANDING THERE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA COMPANY AGAIN AND THEY SAID THE RECALL ONLY REFERS TO FLOOR MAT PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING COMPLEX AND I WAS TRYING TO LOOK FOR A PARKING SPOT. THERE WAS A PARKING SPOT BETWEEN 2 CARS ON THE RIGHT SIDE, I SLOWLY TURNED RIGHT INTO THE SPOT, THE CAR WAS IN THE SPOT AND THE CAR WAS STRAIGHT AND MY LEG WAS ON THE BRAKES. UNEXPECTEDLY THE CAR STARTED ACCECELERATING ON ITS OWN, THEN THE CAR WITH GREAT SPEED CLIMBED UP THE CURB AND HIT THE HAIR SALON SHOP. THE SHOP HAD 2-3 FEET HIGH BRICK WALL AND MAIN DOOR AND OTHER THINGS ARE MADE WITH GLASS AND METAL FRAMES. THE CAR SMASHED THE WALL AND GLASS DOOR COMPLETELY AND LANDED INSIDE THE SHOP. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES REALLY HARD AND FINALLY IT STOPPED THERE WAS A TIRE BURNING SMELL, I SAW THERE WAS BIG DRAG TIRE MARK ON THE SHOP FLOOR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT OPEN. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS INJURED NOR THERE WAS ANY DAMAGES TO OTHER CARS IN THE PARKING LOT. I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA 1-2 MONTHS BACK AND IT INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT CAN INTERFERE WITH THE GAS PEDAL AND IT HAD SUGGESTED TO REMOVE THE FLOOR MAT AND KEEP IT IN THE TRUNKS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THEN I HAD REMOVED ALL THE FLOOR MATS AND WERE IN THE TRUNK AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT. IT IS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY BOUGHT NEW AND DID REGULAR MAINTENANCE AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS NOW IN 355 TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN MARYLAND AND TOYOTA HAS OPENED A CASE AND ARE INVESTIGATING THE CASE ON 01/19/2010. *TR
