The brake pads, rear drums/rotors had to be replaced on a Toyota certified used vehicle. The repair person inquired as to whether I was driving the vehicle with the emergency brake on because the rotors/drums were" melted." When the brake pedal is applied, there is a very loud groaning noise.

Brakes squeak/ pull to left and warp. Also, cd player doesn't work, had 4 cds replaced/ springs in side of sun roof are broken and make noises, and regulator replaced inside of windows. Dealership is aware of problems. Consumer states that brake rotors have been turned at 9000 and 27000 miles, each time rotors are turned the brake pads have been replaced, however problem still occurs. Windshiled has a film like covering which makes it very difficult to see out of. Goodyear tire P205/65R15, dot M6urredr228 wore out prematurely.

Brake pads are wearing out prematurely. When brake pedal is applied the brakes make a loud vibrating noise with poor stooping effect. Most of my driving is highway yet the brake wear out as if I apply them constantly. Dealer has acknowledged that brake wear has been erractic with car, yet all they recommend is replacing brake pads and resurfacing the rotors every 10000 to 15000 miles. I've replaced the brake pads twice since I purchased the car and need to replace them again soon since they are worn again. In general, the brakes on this vehcle function poor at best with premature wear out of brake pads and drums.

Since car was purchased the brake pedal on many occasions has dropped to the floor pan fo no appearant reason. This problem occurs at both highway speed and in-city speeds. I have to pump the pedal a few times for it to maintain brake pressure. If I keep my foot on the pedal long enough it eventually drops.

I am a little displeased with my 1999 Toyota Camry. I bought it as a certified used car with 19,300 miles. Already, I have shelled out $450 for the replacement of the rotors, disc pads, and assembly. The drivers side window had failed before, and I had them replace the whole assembly. The dash lights just failed recently, as well as one of the rear lights burned out in Nov. I logged a complaint with Toyota cust. Service center, but I still feel that this car is a lemon. What new 1999 car with 30,000 miles has had this many failures? please send me any other info that might pertain to this, or any info you hear back. Itr would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to be taking my car in for major service every year!!!
