| Description of the problem | I was in bumper to bumper traffic on the beltway going between 5 -10 miles per hour on a dry road. When i applied the brakes multiple times, the car would not stop and it continued forward until i rear ended the other car. When i applied the brakes, i noticed the brake pedal began to pump. Not sure if this was the abs in action but the car would not stop until it rear ended the other car. Only a scratch was done to the other car. There was adequate space between my car and the car that i rear ended and there were no skid marks just a collision. Brakes failed me on new car and was totaled due to all air bags in the car deploying. Internet says previous camrys have had brake failures. I have owned 2 camrys that i drove 9 years and 16 years and no problem with brakes. Again a brand new car that i had for 7 months and the brakes failed me. I have tried to hire a car inspector to inspect the brakes but have been unsuccessful. The government needs to investigates toyota's brake failures. |
