I have taken the car to the dealer on 2 occasions to have the rear brakes adjusted. During the last visit, I was told 80% of the camrys brought into this dealer had to have their rear drum brakes adjusted because the self adjusting feature was inadequate.
Brake pedal cover came off while driving, ftc#877‑382‑4357.
Brakes failed while slowing down on off ramp. Brakes gripped and then let go. Car stopped much slower than it should have. It felt like car may have slipped out of gear.
While driving about 45 MPH and coming to a stop sign stepped on brake pedal to stop, but vehicle did not stop, and crashedinto another vehicle. Upon impact, air bags did not deploy, causing injuries to consumer.
When brakes were applied vehicle would not stop. Driver had to turn ignition off to stop vehicle. Dealer inspected vehicle, and was not able to duplicate problem.
While driving vehicle between 60-70 MPH, there was a lot of shaking and vibration in front end. Also, when applying brakes it pulled to the left or right. Vehicle has been taken to two dealerships 5 times. All the tires have been changed twice, balanced 5 times, brakes adjusted twice and wheel alignment was done twice. Problems with the vehicle continues.
I have called and left messages on the dealers managers phone with no return call, have went to dealership and he is not available. Air conditioner is very smelly, passenger front door hard to open-sometimes doesn't, brakes sound and feels strange to me (mechanic doesn't think so), when key is taken from igintion it is hot, transmission was replaced w/a rebuilt one.
I was very suprised to see that when I did hit the car in front of me the air bags did not come out or deploy, our seatbelts did not lock. No one was hurt. God forbid this to happen again because I don't know if the air bags will come out the next time or that the seatbelt will lock up. I was going about 75 MPH on interstate 45 between parker and crosstimbers, there was an accident that occured on the shoulder-I was in the left lane and all of a sudden everyone started braking. I felt I stopped in enough time. I slammed on the brakes and slid a great distance before hitting the minivan in front of me. A scratch on the black bumper is all that happened to the minivan. If I pressed on the brakes, why didn't the seat belts lock, why didn't the airbag come out? I don't know.
When brake were applied under normal conditions they locked up, resulting in extended stopping distance. Manufacturer has been notified.
While driving consumer applied brakes and they locked up, forcing vehicle in to a ditch on the road.
When driving at a low rate of speed and pulling into a parking space with foot depressed on the brake pedal vehicle continued to move, causing unwanted acceleration and extended stopping distance. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Dealer said that a brake light was on and that the computer codes said brake depressed and front wheels spinning, but wouldn't write it on the repair ticket for legal reasons. *ak
Abs system light came in. Dealer replaced ABS system, but had me drive car while system was on order. Brakes responded poorly without system and didn't drive due to concern of failing brake. Rear system failed rear struts replaced . Gas tank has loud thud when tank full to half tank, thud intermitent when tank under half. Dealer said car may just have thud/siad some cars designed with baffles that thud
