| Description of the problem | I experienced a situation with brake no responses after i step brake several times and felt like car accelerating on may 19th, sunday afternoon on a highway with camry 2011. It was raining and the dealer customer service told me it could happen??. The dealer checked the data and let a field technician checked, then told me when i was trying to pump the brake to reduce speed, the car smartly let the abs system engaged in to avoid locking the wheel, which is the reason what i was feeling brake did not response and accelerating. But i acted so quickly to turn the car onto the highway curb to avoid crash into the front car, after several days check the dealer confirmed with me the camry functioned nothing wrong and it was nothing to do with the quality recall regarding the toyota accelerator issue! Maybe it is true, but at least they did not convince me why brakes system did not work once abs engaged. I think there must be a bug in the electronic device abs system causing brakes no pressure no response at all during that critical moment. How dealer can not find anything wrong like that in my camry 2011 ?? |
