Toyota Camry Service Brakes Safety Report | Jan 21, 2014
Reported on Jan 21, 2014
| MY SON WAS DRIVING ABOUT 1/2 MILE AWAY FROM HOME WHILE TURNING THE BRAKE FAILED AND HE HIT THE CENTER CURB AND FURTHER TO AN ON COMING (STOPPED) VEHICLE. WHEN HE REALIZED THAT THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING HE PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES THAT SLOWED THE CAR. BUT THE DAMAGE HAD ALREADY OCCURRED. OUR TOYOTA IS 2012 AND HAS BEEN ROUTINELY MAINTAINED BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS. BRAKES SHOULD NOT FAIL. WE ARE GLAD THAT THERE WAS NO APPARENT INJURY BUT THE CAR IS LIKELY TO BE TOTALED. I REQUEST TOYOTA TO DO AN INVESTIGATION ON WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. | |
