| Description of the problem | I just got this car not long ago, just because of toyota's good reputation. Now i am regretting it thinking i should have bought a honda or a nissan. I've been driving this vehicle for a few days and i noticed that it's leaking brake fluid due to a faulty abs actuator brake pump 2007 toyota camry hybrid 44510-30270. The brake pedal feels spongy, also a hizzing sound comes from the actuator and it does it for about 15 seconds then stops; after that i notice a few drops of brake fluid coming from the actuator, and last but not least car gets a brake light when in motion, probably due to all the leakage the actuator it's producing. I am afraid if i keep driving it with this problem it might leave me stranded somewhere or worst yet have a crash. I hope toyota recall this vehicle due to this problem. Toyota you better fix your good reputation, or else american cars will take a chunk of your profits. |
