1999 Toyota Camry SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

REAR BRAKE DRUM DEFECTIVE.

APPLIED BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR, REAPPLIED BRAKES AGAIN AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES PREVIOUSLY, AFTER EACH INCIDENT, I REVIEWED ABS STOPPING PROCEDURE TO BE SURE IT WASN'T ME. MY SISTER WAS PRESENT DURING 1 EPISODE. *AK

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS DUE TO FAILURE OF THE (1ST FAILURE) ABS VALVE AND (2ND FAILURE) MASTER CYLINDER LEAKAGE. THE SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED TO ENGAGE IF ONE UNIT FAILS, THEN OTHER WILL ENGAGE, WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN. MJS

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, AND HAS TO BE REPUMPED IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO, DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. *AK

BRAKES MOAN LOUDLY. TOYOTA SERVICE REPLACED AND SOUND IS MINIMIZED. MECHANIC COMMENTED THIS A PROBLEM FOR 1999 CAMRYS. SINCE REPLACED, SOUND IS MINIMIZED BUT STILL THERE. DEALER DID NOT STATE PROBLEM DURING BUYING PROCESS.

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH VEHICLE ACCELERATED, BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOORBOARD. VEHICLE WENT INTO AN INTERSECTION AND FRONTAL IMPACT INTO A HOUSE. DEALER CONTACTED AND IS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED AT OWNERS EXPENSE. (2) AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK.ET.
