| Description of the problem | Brakes failed while trying to stop at a stop sign. The brakes failed while trying to stop on dry pavement. The brake pedal became very hard and the car continued threw the stop sign and stopped. The check engine light had been on for a day. I took the car to the dealer and was told it was bad gas. I drove the car for another day with hard brakes and then retuned to the dealer because of some near misses because the brakes were not working. The dealer found that the brake booster was bad. A quick check shows that this very common on 2007 camry. These faulty boosters are safety hazard and should be recalled and replaced by toyota before some one dies! |
