I drove to work in the morning with no warning lights on the car and it operated fine. After leaving work for the day, I pulled out of the parking lot on to the main road and then the brake light, master failure light, ABS light and another light lit up on the dash and I pushed the brake to stop the vehicle to figure out what was going on and the brake did not stop the car, so I push the brake as hard as I could to get it to stop and it stuttered about 10 times before coming to a complete stop. I then called a tow truck to take the car to the dealership because it was not safe to drive without the brakes. The car is still being diagnosed at they dealership.

The brakes failed on this car january 6, 2016, causing me to collide with the rear end of a truck while going about five miles per hour. I was in normal traffic, on a city street, coming to a slow stop, and as I approached the vehicle about 15 feet in front of me, waiting in line for the turn lane, I depressed the brake, which was hard as a rock. However, the car would not stop; consequently, I hit the other vehicle. I was going so slow that the airbags did not deploy. Fortunately no one was hurt, although my vehicle sustained about $1200 in damage. I believe this problem was caused by either the ABS brake actuator or the brake pedal stroke sensor. However, the car was seen by a toyota corporation representative who stated in writing there is nothing wrong with the car. This car has already been repaired under a service campaign for the fluid reservoir filter. However, there is also a warranty enhancement program (ze-1), number pol14-04, for the brake actuator assembly and skid control ecu/brake pedal stroke sensor. Our VIN is listed in the group of affected vehicles.

Vehicle 2 was stopped for on coming traffic to make a left turn. Vehicle 1 (the 2011 toyota camry hybrid) driver pressed the brake to the floor to make a sudden stop. The car did not seem to respond to the braking. The tires did not skid, the ABS brakes did not engage and the car did not seem to slow down significantly, but seemed to glide into the rear end of vehicle 2. The stopping distance of 3 car lengths at 35 MPH should not have resulted in this type of collision - vehicle 1 was totaled.
