| Description of the problem | Driver first noticed a problem when she came to a stop at a traffic light. The camry started revving the engine even though driver was depressing the brake pedal; at this point the traction light came on. Five minutes later, driver approached a red light going approximately 25 mph. She depressed the brake pedal and the camry made a loud sound then jerked forward repeatedly. The brakes did not slow down the car consequently causing her to run the red light. She then attempted to get to a safe place, so she pulled into a parking lot. When driver attempted to stop by depressing the brake pedal all the way to the floor, the car did not stop or slow down nearly causing her to crash into a parking lot barrier. There was a noticeable burning smell. Terrified, we took the camry to a toyota dealership. The dealership technicians recovered diagnostic trouble codes: c1249 and u0129. The technicians also drove the camry for 55 miles, but they did not make any repairs, despite the dtc codes, because they said they could not replicate the problem. This is a brand new camry, and we are terrified to drive it, but toyota won |
