| Description of the problem | the brake pedal sinks slowly all the way to the floor when stopped with pressure applied to the brake pedal, that is a very disconcerting feeling when the brake pedal sinks slowly to the floor; it actually stops only at the bottom mechanical stop for the pedal. The vehicle has been to three local toyota dealers, and the complaint has been filed with toyota usa and toyota japan. The local dealers say it is a normal condition, that's preposterous. This is a known problem with the toyota avalon and camry around the 2007 production year. Subject vehicle is still under manufacturers warranty. The problem is believed to be an internal leak in the anti-skid system. The local toyota dealers will not make the needed repairs. I requested that toyota usa service reps inspect my car on their next visit to this area, and that request was refused by findlay toyota of henderson. I filed a previous complaint on 7/6/2010 and no reply has been received to date. I suspect that no action was taken. The problem exists to this date, and this is a formal request for the nhtsa to investigate the antiskid system on my vehicle. |
