| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2007 toyota camry in may of 2006. After driving the car for a few weeks it was increasingly harder and harder to stop the vehicle. The brake pedal goes very close to the floor to stop the vehicle. I called toyota customer service and they advised me to take the car to my nearest toyota dealer. I went to atlantic toyota in amityville, n. Y. And they advised me that they did not find anything wrong. I continue to drive the vehicle and have had other family and friends drive the car as well. They too have experienced the long brake pedal travel and difficulty in stopping the car. I drive with two kids and i do not feel safe in this car. I bought a toyota for its reliability and safety and because of the way the vehicle feels in braking i do not feel safe. I am looking for a vehicle that i paid for and feel safe in. I am a new customer to the toyota brand and purchased the car under the recommendation of family and friends. I have had other vehicles prior to purchasing my toyota like mazda and honda and although they have had their share of problems, when working properly i had always felt safe. I sent a letter to toyota to see if they can make me a happy toyota customer. *jb |
