| Description of the problem | I own a toyota camry 2004, and just bought toyota camry 2007. Camry 2004 worked fine in the beginning, but since last year the brakes felt too soft. I took it toyota dealership many times, but they always said that it was normal. But i drove it everyday, so i know that it was not normal. I could not go above 60 mph on highway because i could not depend on the brakes, especially in winter. I got lucky and avoided accidents almost 10 times because of this brakes. It just won't work on time. I didn't know what to do with this car. So when time came for me to buy the new car, i went to toyota and tried out new 2007 camry and bought it. I bought 2007 camry only because i liked the brakes. I even told the staff of the dealership the same thing too. But within in few weeks i took it back to dealership because brakes started becoming soft. I needed to know how could this be fixed. 2007 camry which i still drive isn't as bad as 2004. But i can't say it for sure that it won't happen in future. How can i have this brakes fixed? There is something wrong with them. It is not normal , they say it is. *ak |
