Since car was purchased the brake pedal on many occasions has dropped to the floor pan fo no appearant reason. This problem occurs at both highway speed and in-city speeds. I have to pump the pedal a few times for it to maintain brake pressure. If I keep my foot on the pedal long enough it eventually drops.
1999 Toyota Camry brakes complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 85, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Abs too sensitive for road conditions. Slightest variation in road condition causes ABS system to go into panic mode braking. On many occasions the car would not stop because of road was wet under one tire and not the other. Current winter conditons cause ABS system to brake erraticly even though there is no reason for the brakes to be pulsating like they do or for the brakes to vibrate so loud to cause the driver to panic . I dread driving this car for I don't know how the braking system will react.
I am a little displeased with my 1999 toyota camry. I bought it as a certified used car with 19,300 miles. Already, I have shelled out 450.00 for the replacement of the rotors, disc pads, and assembly. The drivers side window had failed before, and I had them replace the whole assembly. The dash lights just failed recently, as well as one of the rear lights burned out in nov. I logged a complaint with toyota cust. Service center, but I still feel that this car is a lemon. What new 1999 car with 30,000 miles has had this many failures? Please send me any other info that might pertain to this, or any info you hear back. Itr would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to be taking my car in for major service every year!!!

We have several problems with this car. The car hesitates when you take off. The dealership has had it (this will make) 5 times since march 31,1999. They have had it for weeks at a time. The brakes make noises when they are applied. They said they replaced the vents but we still have a problem with them. We still, after all those times in the shop, have the same orginal problems as before we ever went to the shop. We have found out that they have even lied to us when we were buying the car. They told us it was a limited edition and it isn't. They were the orginal owners, they were not. They won't give us the name of the orginal owner. (found this out during arbitration) there are several things wrong with this car. And can't find any help on the situtation. Please advise.
