| Description of the problem | I have a 2012 toyota camry, i was driving on the freeway and there was an accident up ahead and i had to break suddenly. All my brakes did was make a loud stuttering sound which i could actually feel in the brake pedal and slowed very so slightly i had little to no control of my brakes. I thought it was all over because it didn't appear that i was going to stop but i managed to just miss the car in front of me steering off to the shoulder of the freeway just in time and my car finally stopped. At the time, i thought it might of been the way i applied my breaks, or an isolated incident until reading an article about a lexus recall which sounds like the same problem. This isn't my first car with anti-lock brakes so i am familiar with the way they're supposed to work. It appears that toyota may need add one more vehicle to it's list before someone is killed. |
