The brakes sounded like metal on metal, makes loud grinding noise.
Car stalled on highway at 45 MPH, steering and lights worked, stall caused collision-3 people hurt. The dealer does not know why car stalled. Car could not start until after a computer chip was replaced. But when car was running and we pulled the chip the car continued to run. No one knows why car stalled. The convertable top leaked water, brought to dealer back three times. But now the convertible top does not come up on windshield flush-brought back to dealer five times still working on it. The front brakes began squeaking and pulling at 5000 miles. This is my 4th new car never happened before.
Brakes make loud/obnoxious noises just before the car comes to a complete stop.
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.

Left rear ABS brakes failed.
When applying the brakes and stopping to turn a corner there is a loud noise coming from the brakes. The pedal is soft, and if the brakes don't stop the vehicle driver has to press the brakes again until can get the vehicle to come to a stop. The dealer said there was no problem with the brakes.
When applying the brakes, the pedal is soft. The brakes make a lot of noise, and take too long to stop the vehicle. This happens on any type of road surface during normal braking. Dealer is aware of the problem. A brake kit has been ordered to correct the problem.
On wet roads, the front brakes lock (in non-emergency conditions). The vehicle does not track properly and begins to slide at an angle.
When pushing the brake pedal brakes make a loud noise, there is also extended stopping distance. Two repairs have been done, dealer states they will not repair again because it is the design of the model.

Anti-lock brake actuator was replaced by the autobody shop which repaired the accident damage.
