In late august 2019 while returning home from shopping on a fast speed street I needed to slow down to make a turn and the break pedal went all the way to the floor, made a vibrating noise, the break light came on red and with the pedal going all the way to the floor and barely breaking I was able to go home, (about a mile), driving at 5 MPH. Had car towed to dealer where they replaced master cylinder and power booster with cost of around $ 2,000.00. The car only had 31,026 miles, all requested services were done on time or even before time, no sign of spongy pedal or breaks red light coming up for warning before this happening. We were very lucky to not crash the car in a bad accident or to be on a tallway. Lately I discovered emergency break not working, (never checked after repairs) while car left on drive and put emergency breaks, car moves. Certainly I will not return to dealer where I went since I bought the car, did they forgot to check the emergency breaks after breaks repair?as they had forgotten other thing after past services. Never toyota again. When I talked to toyota national headquarter I was told the dealer gave me a very good price and they partner with dealers. I asked if the would reimburse some since the car is not even at 36,000 miles and they told me the car is 10 year old! They would not do anything about it. This car has always been kept in the garage, driven weekly around and one day of the week driven at fast speed to keep everything in order. My car is like new, with all the care I take for, including keeping it washed. I never had in my life some like this happen, on any car I drove..on 2/09/2010 there was a recall for service breaks maybe there was more cars than they listed. I read many complaints about same problem like mine but such cars seemed to have lots of more miles than me, sincerely, [xxx] redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

Have 2010 camry next day after purchase car started making a popping noise took to dealership service dept. They didn't know what was making noise, would check with outside tech had to call them after waiting for over a week. Service dept. Mgr tells me it is normal that all camrys make the noise that it is the ABS actuator. New cars should not be making a loud noise. If this is normal why didn't they know what is was the first time I took car in? Service mgr. Told me to turn the radio on and I wouldn't hear the noise. Car automatically slowed down while driving at nighttime, had foot on accelerator, if a car had been behind me they would have hit me, put more pressure on acc. But engine just revived was able to quickly turn engine off and restart car would not change into gear as it should seemed as if hung in low. Have had brake pedal go to floor as if no brakes. Have taken car to dealership serv. Dept but kept being told nothing showed up on computer. I told them I couldn't help what was or wasn't on computer but those things did happen and were happening. Serv. Mgr. Told me that it must be that I just decided I didn't like the car. As of this date feb.22 I still have not received a recall letter regarding floor mats or accelerator. E-mailed toyota over a week ago received confirm that e-mail had been received but have not received a response from them. These instances started august 1, 2009.

Abs brake failure on my 2010 toyota camry. No accidents, as I have been through two professional driving courses. However, hearing the incidents of the prius brake issues caught my attention. There is an inconsistency with the operation of the ABS system on my johnson & johnson fleet camry that was delivered in october, 2009 (2010 model). If there is a need to "tap the brakes" they will lock up and the car lunges forward. When applying the ABS brakes on gravel or loose/uneven pavement, it makes a clicking noise and the car seems to "hop," rather than come to an appropriate stop. It seems identical to reports/complaints that I've heard around the prius. Normally, I would not even consider sending an alert to you. However, hearing interviews on the news and reading further about the recall, I felt very compelled to let you know. I am the assigned driver to this fleet vehicle. It is owned & licensed to johnson & johnson healthcare services.
