| Description of the problem | I have experienced severe brake difficulties with my 2004 toyota camry. The brakes have been repaired at least three times by the houston dealership, and the problem still exists! The dealership told me that repairing it was the best they could do, and nothing else can be done. Whenever i stop, my brakes will only completely stop at almost 1. 5 inches from the car floor. I need safe and reliable transportation, and i never want to experience the brakes failing to stop or only stopping once it hits the floor. I am 85 years old, make weekly doctor visits on heavily congested houston freeways. I need my car to work properly every time. |
