SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC ON THE BELTWAY GOING BETWEEN 5 -10 MILES PER HOUR ON A DRY ROAD. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES, THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND IT CONTINUED FORWARD UNTIL I REAR ENDED THE OTHER CAR. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO PUMP. NOT SURE IF THIS WAS THE ABS IN ACTION BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL IT REAR ENDED THE OTHER CAR. ONLY A SCRATCH WAS DONE TO THE OTHER CAR. THERE WAS ADEQUATE SPACE BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE CAR THAT I REAR ENDED AND THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS JUST A COLLISION. BRAKES FAILED ME ON NEW CAR AND WAS TOTALED DUE TO ALL AIR BAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYING. INTERNET SAYS PREVIOUS CAMRYS HAVE HAD BRAKE FAILURES. I HAVE OWNED 2 CAMRYS THAT I DROVE 9 YEARS AND 16 YEARS AND NO PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. AGAIN A BRAND NEW CAR THAT I HAD FOR 7 MONTHS AND THE BRAKES FAILED ME. I HAVE TRIED TO HIRE A CAR INSPECTOR TO INSPECT THE BRAKES BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO INVESTIGATES TOYOTA'S BRAKE FAILURES.

BOUGHT CAR NEW 03/16. INVOLVED IN MVA 06/01/16 WHERE WE WERE T-BONED BY A F150 TRUCK AT 30 MPH. THE TRUCK PEELED THE BODY OF CAR OFF THE FRAME FROM WHERE THE PASSENGER DOOR HINGE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. DAMAGING SENSORS THAT WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED SIDE AIRBAGS. THE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF, HINGES HAD TO BE REPLACED, TAIL LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS REPLACED, BOTH PASSENGER DOORS AND TIRES REPLACED. WHY DID THE SIDE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY? TOYOTA TOLD ME THAT SINCE I HAD THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FIXED, THEY ARE NOT TO BE BLAMED. MY CHILD WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT. EVEN AFTER ALL REPAIRS TO THE CAR, WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH, THERE IS A LOUD WIND TUNNEL NOISE GOING THROUGH THE CAR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
CAR WAS PURCHASED 3/16 WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL WE WENT ON VACATION 6/16 WITH ABOUT A 1200 MI ONE WAY DRIVE. UPON ARRIVAL WE NOTICED THAT AT LONG STOPLIGHTS THE BRAKE WAS GOING TO THE FLOOR. AFTER HAVING THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR WOULD ACTUALLY START MOVING WITH THE PEDAL DOWN ON THE FLOOR. PUMPING THE BRAKES WOULD BRING THE PRESSURE BACK UP, BUT THE PEDAL WOULD STILL CREEP TO THE FLOOR ON STEADY PRESSURE. AFTER A VERY SCARY RIDE HOME THRU THE MOUNTAINS THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. SERVICE MGR VERIFIED PEDAL PROBLEM AND SAID THAT A TOYOTA REP WOULD HAVE TO VERIFY PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS THE REP HAS SAID THAT THE CAR IS IN PERFECT SHAPE. BOTH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. STRANGE BUT TOYOTA HAS THE EXACT PROBLEM LISTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AS AN ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP LISTED IN 2 PLACES.

AIR BAGS
THREE WEEKS AGO I PURCHASED A CAMRY XSE. AND, LAST THURSDAY I READ IN THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT IT MAY HAVE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. ISN'T THAT A SCAM? THE DEALERSHIP EVEN SAID THAT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. I WAS ALREADY UNHAPPY BECAUSE IN ORDER TO GET "CRASH WARNING, BLIND SIDE FEATURES" I HAD TO TAKE THE MOST EXPENSIVE MODEL. ISN'T THERE ANY PROTECTION FOR BUYERS? I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE WAITED FOR MONTHS TO HAVE THEIR CARS UPDATED AND NOW I MAY HAVE BEEN SOLD ONE THAT WAS SOLD KNOWINGLY DEFECTIVE. WHAT HELP OR ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE? THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
