2013 Toyota Camry brakes problems

Filed Feb 21, 2024 · Brakes · CA · crash

Vehicle brake assist hold was engaged, foot still depressed on the pedal. The car released the brake hold and starting rolling at 5 mph even with my foot still on the brake. I had to let off the brake pedal and slam back on it and the car didn't stop in time and still hit the car in front of me. Very light impact but as a result led to the whole front of the car being out of shape (bumper, grille, headlights). Was aware of its deactivation but was not aware that the force of the brake pedal does not override the auto hold assist when the assist is deactivated.

When starting the car in low temperatures, approximately less than 30 degrees Fahrenheit, the ABS, VSC, and BRAKE warning lights remain on after starting. subsequent reading with an OBD reader indicates a C1246 trouble code. Operation of the vehicle without working ABS and VSC systems makes the vehicle inherently less safe and stable. I experienced several episodes of poor braking and skidding when driving in snow or rain before the problem was successfully diagnosed and repaired. The vehicle was serviced by Orland Toyota several times before the problem was able to be reproduced and repaired. A complete replacement of the ABS controller was required.

Ever since I've had my car if it's raining or snowing or even if I'm trying to brake going over a painted line or railroad track my traction light will come on & the car will slide. I've always had good tires on the car so that's not the issue. I was told if the traction light comes on the car is doing it's job. I'm no dummy. I've been driving over 20 yrs of my life & never had a car do that before even with bad tires.

While driving I suddenly started to hear grinding on the front on braking. Immediately I assumed issues with break pads but previous to this there was no warning of any kind form the car sensors or from a previous service. Fortunately I was close to home and a repair shop. Assuming worn break pads, I had all pads replaced on inspecting the pads it was clear that there was some quality issue to one set of front pads as all other pads were of safe. It seems that the pad under question broke apart while the vehicle was in motion. I believe this is product quality issue. I have retain all the pads for inspection of required.
