Description of the problem | Three days after we purchased the car, we were backing out of our driveway, brake to stop before pulling into the street and the car wouldn't stop. We heard a clanking noise and it took extraordinary pressure on the brakes to stop the car. We had the car towed to the dealer, who, after inspecting the car and driving it for a day or two could find nothing wrong. This happened a second time approximately 2 weeks later under the same conditions. At that time, the dealer's service manager saw a notice from the corporate office indicating that there was a problem in some 2015 camry's which were manufactured during a certain period of time. The problem involved the "brake booster" which was replaced in our car after the second brake failure. Within another week, the same thing happened twice again. We refused to take the car back and toyota bought back the car and refunded the purchase price of the car. |
