Description of the problem | Car used mostly on highways, so brakes not used too much, slow down more using cruise control. 07. 25. 2011, at 32,600 miles, right rear brakepads were completely gone and start grinding on disc. Three days before that this car was inspected for 30,000 miles and rear brakepads were at 4 mm. Service advisor said they didn't inspect the brakepads three days before because i did not bought the tire rotation, so they just "visually inspect" and fill the paper with numbers just to be filled. 09. 17. 2011, at 34,400 miles, brakepads replaced again for noise after releasing the brake pedals which had also slightly vibration during releasing. This noise continue all the time after that, even after this brakepad replacement. 10. 10. 2013, at 61,400 miles, same right rear brakepads were completely gone after visually inspection done during tire rotation and those brake pads were in good shape 2-3 months before. Service advisor tried to sell me many other thing instead to pay attention to my concern about camry's, and stated rear brakepads life is 30,000 miles, which i believe is not true. 10. 27. 2013, at 62,000 miles, during the trip on mountain parkway road when i use car brake all the time, same right rear wheel begun to make continuous noise 10-15 second after releasing the brake pedal. The right rear wheel was hot, the other wheel have normal temperature. 11. 04. 2013, at 62,900 went back to toyota service and they found the emergency brake (which they stated is combined with rear pedal brake system) cable too tight and adjusted. I believe i paid the brakepads twice and rotors once because they don't care about customers and want you back for more money, for their negligence, and because toyota car reliability is just a story. I read here more scary issue with rear brakes at high speed and i want people to know about this issue. |
