I was going down the road and suddenly my brakes locked up. I had no control of my car and I hit a telephone pole at 60 mph. I had the car towed to a Toyota repair shop and days later the guy told me it had been wrecked before. I was not told this by the dealership and nothing showed up on the car through CARFAX. The dealership had replaced 2 batteries within 7 months and I had taken it to the dealership because of the noise in the front end, later to be told it was due to the wreckage that was not fixed previously. I am now being told my Camry is being totaled.

Brakes under constant pressure took longer to engage. One minute later while pulling into parking stall the brake pedal went to floor and one pump immediately after it engaged. Simultaneously, the car accelerated and jumped a curb and one foot into the landscape. Had the acceleration continued and/or the brakes not engaged the vehicle would have hit a tree in another 3'. This tree was about 18"-24" diameter. One hour later cautiously drove to Toyota dealer who performed inspection of brake system, test drove, and scanned the computer system. They found no abnormal codes for the time of the incidents. They could not replicate the issues. There were no warning indicators noticed during the incident. Scan data and incident report sent to Toyota Field Agents confirmed the described problem was not found in the system.

I bought a new Toyota Camry 2020 SE on October 2020 from Toyota downtown los angeles less than 3 months later. I've only driven it 800miles. Today as I was driving to work I noticed that I had to press on the break harder than usual. Also it lags when starting up.

The contact owns a 2020 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while approaching a traffic light, the brake pedal was depressed and an abnormal sound was heard. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer stadium Toyota (5088 N dale mabry hwy, tampa, fl 33614, (813) 872-4881), Toyota of tampa bay (1101 E fletcher ave, tampa, fl 33612, (813) 402-1323) and wesley chapel Toyota (5300 eagleston blvd, wesley chapel, fl 33544, (813) 703-1759) however, the mechanics were unable to duplicate the failure. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

I already have a complaint number 11342422. I have studied the anti-lock braking system further and I think I have identified 2 places of safety concern. In normal mode, since I can push the pedal all the way to the floor, my interpretation is that the reservoir can accept all of the additional fluid being pumped. It also tells me that the final force on the brake pads will be whatever the resistance the spring in the reservoir has. So I don't have final control over the braking even under normal conditions. The other condition that concerns me is the last diagram when the pump is intensifying the braking force. Now there is also another path for some of this pumped fluid to return to the input side of the pump. If the leakage path had no resistance then the pump could be recirculating all of the brake fluid resulting in no braking. I hope that the leakage path has enough resistance that a sufficient amount of brake fluid is ending up at the brake pads. This is something that is impacting my car but I think it's a risk to all cars with ABS. What really bothers me is that I have talked to service managers of 3 car dealers and they all claim that being able to push the brake pedal all the way to the floor is normal. I don't think it is normal and it also doesn't apply to all cars. My wife's car brakes don't do this. It seems as if there is an industry wide Focus to cover up this problem. I hope that you can get access to ABS engineers to really understand this issue. Thank you.

I can still drive the car but what I think is defective is that, with the car parked, I can push the brake pedal all the way to the floor. There are no leaks of brake fluid so it must be going into the antillock braking system. There must be an internal leak within the ABS and I'm concerned that might affect it's functionality.
