| Description of the problem | I own a toyota camry hybrid, 2009. I am also experiencing the same brake failure problems that the toyota 2010 prius is being recalled for. I noticed that when braking on down sloped roads, slippery roads, or bumpy roads, the car seems to accelerate while braking. This occurs for 1-2 seconds. It is a very scary feeling. Last week i narrowly avoided hitting 2 cars during a minor snow fall because while making a slow turn or braking the car again accelerated and the braking system failed momentarily. I verbally asked the dealer that i purchased the car from, and my neighborhood dealer 2 weeks ago while making a scheduled 15k mile service visit about the problem, but they weren't aware of it and suggested that it could be the hybrid system kicking in. A few days later i heard of the prius recall and was shocked when i read the reasons behind it. I am now scheduled for a service visit tomorrow at toyota. At my last service visit they said the brakes were in good condition, but i think this is an electrical problem. Please investigate the camry hybrids as well. This problems is reproducible and occurs every time that i am on a bumpy road and brake or on a slippery surface and brake. *tw |
