I was driving with a passenger in my 2000 camry. I slowed down anticipating to come to a stop at a t in the road, that had a stop sign. After pushing on my brakes, if felt like the motor was fighting against the brakes and pushing me forward. I put all the pressure I could on the brakes and it kept insisting to go forward. I was lucky that I had appropriately, slowed down ahead of time for the stop sign, but still ...the car did not stop until it went through well past the stop sign, across the two lane road and finally stopped just before a cliff. Luckily the car that was coming on the road that I crossed, saw that something was wrong and stopped while my camry crossed right in front of his car. Very scary.

My toyota 2000 camry had an accident which resulted in property damage, similar to the recall, yet it wasn't recalled and toyota executive complaints and the dealer where I bought the car refuse to assist me. My insurance is with geico, 800- 424-3426, claim number 0115001950101329. There was property damage in amount of 447.00 and there was an injury. I was a gas pump, backing up, to leave the hess/wilco station in kempsville, virginia, when my car accelerated for no apparent reason, out of control. Hit a poll, and lunged forward and did the same thing.

On sept. 14, 2009 I was backing up in a parking lot, to let another vehicle pass. My car suddenly began moving backward very rapidly and smashing into others vehicles and a child. I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance because my neck was hurting. I did not receive a ticket from the attending police officer, as she did not feel I did anything negligent. The car was totaled by my insurance company.

I drive a 2000 toyota camry, and have had a few incidents previously, during the winter months of 2008-09. This concern never happens during warmer months. It happened 3 times in the same day on february 3, 2010: when approaching a t-intersection of smaller highways, when I came to a stop light controlled 4-way intersection in the town of newton, ia, and as I was slowing down to turn off the main street into a parking lot. When I pushed down on the brake pedal, it was almost like there were no brakes. I had to push it clear to the floor and then very slowly and gradually, my car eventually stopped, but out in the intersection or beyond my turnoff. I have not rear-ended anyone or hit any pedestrians, but that is a definite possibility. I started researching online to see if others have had this problem and discovered that some toyota models in the years 2007-2010 have been recalled due to a very similar problem, with the same symptoms. When I called toyota of des moines, I was told that it could not be the same problem, since the brake system used in 2000 is different from that in the recall years. I have an appointment in 2 weeks in d.m. And have to be very cautious between now and then, especially if driving when snow is falling and/or the temperature is quite cold. It makes no difference if the pavement is wet or dry, when this happens, and it's like a layer of ice is within my brakes, keeping them from taking hold when I apply them.

Model: toyota camry year: 2000 problem: brake shivers or shudders when applied. It happens all the time. The car does not come to a stop as soon as the brake is applied. In fact, the car moves some distance and comes to a stop. Resolution: change parts of the brake (ever since I bought the vehicle) . This has been at least 10 times. The dealer says that it is because of how the brake is applied. I disagree. I have a honda-crv 2000 model and this does not have any problem with the brakes.

I was driving around 30mph, and the car started to buck. As I approached the intersection, I pressed the brake pedal to the floor, and the car did not slow down at all. The brakes failed, and steering became very difficult. My road was ending, so I attempted to make a left. I tried to steer the vehicle to the side and hit a tree with the front end of the vehicle.
