SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BRAKE FAILURE OF 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY V6 WITH ABS BRAKES. BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOORBOARD, BRAKES MAKE LOUD RATCHETING / GRINDING SOUND, CAR DOES NOT STOP. ON THREE OCCASIONS, APPROACHING STOPS AT LESS THAN 30 MPH, CAR HAS GONE THROUGH LIMIT LINE EXCEEDING STOPPING POINT BY AT LEAST 10 FEET, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY MANUFACTURER THREE TIMES. SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR ABS BRAKES. PAPERWORK FROM SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO INDICATES THAT CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I AM AFRAID TO PUT MYSELF, A PASSENGER, OR ANOTHER MOTORIST AT RISK. THE CAR IS JUST OVER ONE-YEAR-OLD, AND I HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER TO TOYOTA 4-26-03 REQUESTING A FULL REFUND UNDER THE LEMON LAW. *NLM

TIRES
I BOUGHT A 02 TOYOTA CAMRY SE LAST YEAR. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND IN THE WINTER IT SNOWS QUITE A BIT. GENERALLY NORMAL (NOT SNOW) TIRES WORK FINE IN THE WINTER. HOWEVER, THE NEW TIRES THAT COME WITH THE SE ARE NOT MEANT FOR WINTER WEATHER AT ALL. THEY PERFORM TERRIBLY EVEN IN THE LEAST AMOUNT OF NOW AND SKID. I HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE I ALMOST HAD FATAL ACCIDENTS. LUCKILY I DID NOT GET INTO A CRASH AS I DRIVE EXTREMELY SLOWLY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING. HOWEVER, THEY REPLACED THE TIRES FOR A FEW SE BUYERS BUT DID NOT DO SO FOR ME. I THINK TOYOTA KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I THINK THEY SHOULD NOT SELL THE SE WITH THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES THAT THEY CURRENTLY DO. YOU CAN EXPECT A BUYER TO REPLACE ALL FOUR NEW TIRES WHEN THEY HAVE ONLY 2000 MILES ON THEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT REALIZE THE PROBLEM BEFORE THEY BUY THE VEHICLE. I HOPE YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND HELP ALL THE SE BUYERS. *JB
