    Several weeks ago, i had a couple of incidences, where my 2009 toyota camry gear lever would not shift from park to drive.

On several occasions although i drive conservatively i feel my braking was compromised when i need quick braking response. I believe the reason is the automatic adjustment mechanism on my rear brakes was and is not working. This mechanism on all…
