I was driving 75 mph on I-10 East going into Houston when I received a low braking power warning. My brakes were useless and I had to use the slow down gradually and slowly used the emergency brake. There is a safety recall on the vaccum pump for this year and model but my car did not qualify for this.
I was driving in downtown and a sudden loss of braking power. My speed was 20 mile/ hr and I push down brake strongly to stop the car. I was at the highest risk even stopped the car. The Toyota dealer said that I must replace booster vacuum pump while Toyota has recall to replace this part for certain camry 2018 but my car is not included.I had a warning lump at the same time of losing the brake power.

An emergency message came on telling me my brakes were losing power band I needed to pull over to a safe area. I was on the freeway! I could not push down. I had to use the parking break and go into a lower gear to get to the shoulder then my car came to a stop in the crosswalk of the freeway exit. Vacuum pump stopped working.

Needs camshaft assembly/exhaust replaced, investigate the motor to look for pieces so they don't damage the motor, no gear at the end of the vacuum pump, it has gone down not the motor

If you slow to a roll then try to accelerate, it jerks real bad like it does not know what gear to go into. Tapping from the engine bay that comes and goes. The brake assist feature cause my rotors to get warped right after replacing them. Lane keeping assist will yank you over into a turning lane if you aren't super careful.
While driving the car refused to stop. It was very hard to press the brake, and it would not stop. Initially it would not go in park or neutral. After circling the parking children in fear, it went in park and came to an abrupt stop. Apon taking it to a mechanic I was told I need to replace the brake vacuum pump.
I don't feel safe driving my Toyota Camry 2018. The car feel very heavy when driving, tge steering wheel are stiff and difficult to move sometimes. The brakes are not stable like they should even after I paid for it to be fix. The gas gauge refuse to open when it's time to fuel gas the car makes noises. It's very frustrating and it's not worth what I pay for.
I started vehicle from a stopped position drove about 20 ft and noticed that I could not push down the brake pedal...I put the car in nuetral and applied the emergency break...there was a break warning light and a low break power message...I had to call a tow truck...
I first noticed severe vibration when going on highway, I applied brake and the entire front end started to vibrate. The car only has around 16,000 miles and its 2018 model. Bad rotor is causing this to shake. This rotor must have come from the factory defective. The dealer is unwilling to replace it. They want me to pay for this repair around $300. I realize that brake pads are not covered but the rotors should be covered because they came like that from the factory.
