Description of the problem | I live in the chicago area and recently purchased a 2009 toyota camry se with 35k miles on it in nov 2009. In late december i was driving home from work - it was rainy and about 30 degrees outside and the roads were a bit slippery. The car in front of me (far ahead) applied its brakes to make a left turn. I went to apply my brakes to slow down and the car would not stop! I did not feel the brakes apply and slow my vehicle. I pushed down on the brake harder and it did nothing. It was not until i lifted my foot off the brake and reapplied it that the car started to slow. Luckily i was not too close to the car in front. The next day, i went to the my local mechanic and paid him to look at my brakes to make sure they were safe. He did not see anything wrong with the pads or rotors. Yesterday the same thing happened. The weather was a mix of rain and ice and about 20 degrees. I am not afraid to buy my new car and feel something needs to be done to address this issue. I have read in forums where similar occurrences have happened to camry owners as well. Please help! |
