 Description of the problemI purchased a new toyota camry in 2004. On the morning of 4/2/2005, i took my daughter to her orthodontist appointment. On my way back, i first made a stop at a traffic light before making a left turn to get on a parkway. I did not notice anything unusual. A few minutes later, when i attempted to slow down in anticipation of the end of the parkway and the traffic light at the intersection, i noticed that the brake was not working. I tried squeezing (to the floor) and tapping. I had no effect. There was no acceleration (kept the same speed). By the time i reached the intersection, the light was red and all three lanes had vehicles in front of me. I steered my car between two lanes to get through the traffic (with only the mirrors scraped off). Once the traffic was behind me, i took the vehicle to the right to grind against the curb which brought it to a halt. The vehicle was pronounced total. Three other vehicles were affected with varying degrees of damage (due to direct impact on the side or reaction to the sudden traffic movement). I informed toyota and requested their inspection. Toyota later responded stating that they found no "design or manufacturing defect". I am not sure if they took my report seriously. They may have lost the opportunity to investigate a potential problem.
