The car brakes are soft and hard to stop the car on road conditions. Wet, snow, ice, or any other substance other than dry the brakes go to the floor and grate. Standing on brake to the floor still doesn't stop the car. I told this to the car lot and they told me that they are all like that. I have had several close calls and had to go up onto grass or other area to stop my car. The grating sound when on wet…

It had started to snow with about an inch or less on ground. Since my street is on an incline and being aware of possible slippery conditions i was driving less than 10mph as i approached my driveway. I was just creeping along. As soon as i applied the brakes to get ready to pull into my driveway(very cautiously) they just didn't work and i slid slowly down the rest of the street (appr. 200 ft) into the cross road,…

Brakes are soft, grinding down in one day. I've had to replace them twice since i purchased car in 2005. I have to push brake to the floor before car will stop. Also car surges. I'll be driving and the car will all of a sudden go forward. Toyota said it was due to brakes. Has the brake system been recalled.? I noticed a lot of complaints on line due to same problems. *jb

About 3 years ago, i experienced a sudden acceleration in my 2005 toyota camry v6. It was an unusually rainy day in southern arizona. As i exited a freeway off-ramp to come to a stop, it felt like the abs system took over the braking. My foot was on the brake pedal, but the car braked, then accelerated rapidly, fishtailing a bit on the wet pavement. I pumped the brake pedal and was able to stop a few feet past the…

If i had been driving any of my other vehicles besides the 2005 toyota camry that i have owned for 4 months, i would not have crashed into the bumper of the stopped truck. I saw the truck in time to apply the brakes while moving at 15 miles per hour,on dry clean pavement, to stop before hitting the rear end of the truck when it was a good 20 feet away. Not only did my toyota not stop when i smashed on the brakes, it…

I had the same exact problem that i'm reading about in the toyota prius (brief brake failure at slow speeds on wet or uneven surfaces) in a 2005 camry. I brought it to the dealer, who would not acknowledge the problem, telling me that the brakes "conformed to standards." so i don't believe any talk from toyota that the problem is some kind of design flaw limited to the prius. *tr

It is surprising that there is only now publicity about toyota brakes. I have a 2005 toyota camry. If i hit a bump or goes over washboard pavement while braking, the brakes go out for a second or so. Bought the car new and said something about the problem early on but was told that nothing was found to be wrong. I just learned to live with it over the years. I like the car and have not regrets on the purchase. *tr

Brake too low. Have to push brake pedal down hard especially when traveling above 60 mph. Brake goes all the way almost to the floorboard to stop car. Please contact toyota motors (case #200507071372). *nm

On a clear day the morning of june 14, 2005, i was driving south in the slow lane of highway 95 in florida. All of a sudden i heard the driver in the middle lane blow his horn. At this moment i felt that the car was dragging me on one side to the left. I tried to stop the car by pressing on the brakes. The brakes were non existent and the car kept going left, hit a pick up truck in the middle lane (truck turned…

Brakes are slow and difficult to engage; produce long stops or none. Toyota says brakes are functioning as they're designed to (which means brakes are designed to be unsatisfactory) and does nothing; arbitration hearing found in favor of toyota, despite consumer reports (2005) finding that brakes were spongy and stops long. I'm not sure why this is the case but suspect drum type brake not adequate for car of this…

I'm concerned the toyota braking issues go deeper than late model prius. My 2005 camry le v6 exhibits similar characteristics as being described today - brake failure when driving over uneven, irregular or rough pavement. When this occurs, the brake pedal stiffens and braking action ceases. I've learned to press down v-e-r-y hard on the pedal during this intermittent behavior. Had taken to the dealer more than once.…
