| Description of the problem | I do not know if this is a complaint and write as i see the toyota prius brake investigation. I have a camry hybrid and had a brake problem last spring. On saturday 4-25-09, my vsc/abs/warning light came on while i was near the baierl cadillac dealership. As i had leased from baierl toyota, i pulled in the baierl cadillac service as the brakes felt wrong and took two feet. The car did stop. They called baierl toyota who said to drive up unless flashing warning lights. The lights were steady so i drove slowly without any accident from wexford pa to mars pa to the dealership. I called monday (ordered part), tues (waiting for part for brakes) and wed(part in morning -need computer to calibrate). The car was returned and the brakes seem fine with no further vsc/abs lights. I do not have the parts. I assume that baierl toyota, mars, pa 16046 has the records and could tell you more. I did not pay more attention as it was taken care of by the dealership under warranty. My friend suggested that i notify you in the event that the hybrid brakes on the camry should also be checked to help someone else. |
