SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
SINCE PURCHASING MY 98 TOYOTA CAMRY 10/3/97, I HAVE TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHEREAS MY BRAKES DID SQUEAK & SQUEAL WHEN STOPPING. BROUGHT MY CAR INTO TOYOTA ON TWO SEPARATE OCCIAISIONS AND WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF A BRAKE PROBLEM, AND WOULD PROVIDE A TEMPORARY QUICK FIX UNTIL THE MFGR RECALLED THE CAMRY'S. I'VE HAD FT PADS & MACHINE ROTORS & REAR BRAKES ADJUSTED 2-3 TIMES IN 98. I'VE PAID $300+ TOWARDS THIS SERVICE TO MY NEW CAR AND THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. DID ADVISE DEALERSHIP THAT I WILL BY ANOTHER CAR, BUT IT WILL NOT BE A TOYOTA CAMRY. I'LL BEGIN PURCHASING HONDA PRODUCTS BEGINNING IN 99 AND WILL NOT GO BACK TO TOYOTA AFTER BEING A FAITHFUL CUSTOMER FOR OVER 10+ YEARS.
