SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
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). *AK
