| Description of the problem | We where driving to the store and on the way the check engine came on, so we pulled into the local autozone and they ran a scan for fault codes. It had a code p0171 which they said it coulf 1 of several posibilities and should have a repair shop perform a proper check to be sure what is actually going on. Well we continued on to the store, when coming to a stop my wife said we have no brakes, the pedal was going to the floor, we did come to a stop with hitting anything thank god. Well i drove from there back home very carefully. Once home i look under the hood for anything that be causing it to happen, and everything look inplace and ok. So next i got back into the car and push the brake pedal down and heard a loud air leaking from the brake pedal, i got down by the pedal and push on the the pedal with my hand and could hear air coming out the boot. I called a mechanic and explained to him what was happening and he said it is my power brake booster. Next i got on line and found that alot of 2007 camry's with anywhere from 40,000 miles up to and over 200,000 that have the power brake booster failing, and when i tried to fine one for my car i found that there are none anywhere, even at the dealership. I did ask if they know of this problem and he paused for a moment, then said no. I believe this should be investigated be fore someone injured or killed. |
