| Description of the problem | I own a toyota 2007 camry. I almost ran into a car in front of me when stopping for a light. Coming up to light, while braking i hit a bump and the brake pedal went towards the floor. I release the brake and pressed it again and it worked. Another incident occurred recently while driving down an icy slope. I was braking and there was a horrible grinding or snapping type noise. As i was very scared i would have an accident while this was happening i did not notice if i lost brake pressure. I called the toyota dealership where i purchased the car and explained the above and was told that this was normal with the brakes that are installed on the camry. I am concerned for my family's safety. |
