Miraculously i escaped with a rather ugly bruise to my left forearm and to my right breast from seat belt…

New brakes were put on my car on 11/23/13. A short time later, i was approaching a red light and began to slow down. Upon doing so the abs system kicked in and when i applied my foot to the breaks they would not work. As i approached the intersection, i made a sharp right 90 degree turn to avoid going through the red light as the vehicle would not stop and i would have been in a terrible accident. The road was not…

The brakes were making noise. Took in the car to a local automotive brake shop and they said the rear brakes were hanging up. The right rear brake pads were discolored. The right rear calipers had black material on the inside next to the pads. The pads and calipers on both rear tires were replaced. You can tell the difference after the work was completed. *js

My foot was on the brake pedal when the car suddenly surged forward, jumped the curb, and hit a concrete bench placed at the edge of the green. The brake did not work. The impact was so forceful it destroyed the bench, and the car had to be jacked up to get it off a large piece of concrete. Thank goodness the golfer was not…

Driving on the freeway and applying brakes there is a strong pulsing and vibration in the car and makes slowing down unstable. Brakes were just checked and are fine according to the dealer.

Also tires wear out much too fast which dealer says is a common problem with camry se due to tuning of suspension, as well has…

Traffic was fluctuating between "stop & go" and approximately 30 mph. After a traffic light turned green, i began accelerating at a relatively rapid pace when a vehicle cut directly in front of me and braked. I immediately…
