I have a 2009 camry. I know about the recall for the acceleration problem. This is a similar problem that is different, but actually could be related perhaps.

I was in a 2009 toyota camry that was involved in a crash. I was in a 35 miles zone, going uphill and well within the limit, but when i applied the brakes, the car didn't really slow down enough to not crash into the vehicle that didn't yield at the traffic signal. I didn't think much about it then, since the other driver admitted fault, but it could possibly have been because of a defect with the car's…
