| Description of the problem | i have a 2006 toyota camry with 1700 miles on it. I had problems with the brakes 3 times and have had the car only 8 months. When i try to stop it seems the engine races and the brakes won't stop the car. The first time i went through a stop sign. The second time i was pulling out of a parking lot and the car kept going and was almost hit by a semi-truck. The third time i was stopping for a light and the car sped up. I had my foot on the brakes so i put it in park but it didn't stop and i rear ended a van. The police would not let me drive the car home. Oak lawn toyota said i had to have the car towed to my house for them to come out and inspect it. They just wanted me to pay the $300 fee. Toyota came to the dealer to inspect it over 3 weeks ago and i still haven't heard anything. I am afraid to drive the car. I only drive it when i have to take my 90 year old father to the grocery store. *jb |
