Break Failure!
Created September 15, 2007, at 11:27 pm by RomanG
My mother just got into an accident going across a major 4 lane road because the breaks on the Camry hybrid failed to break. Simply put, she pressed the break and the car kept going. I have been able to find similar intermitten break failures have recently been occurring to Prius drivers: http://www.hybridcars.com/forums/brake-failure-2007-t1013.html. Have any Camry Hybrid owners have similar experiences? .

I have had my Camry for 14 months and have found that a slight touch stops the car. There have been no problems.
Well, not to say it's not true, but I'm a bit skeptical at this story. While any car can have a mechanical failure, brakes simply "not working" would seem to be very rare indeed. From the cheapest Chevrolet to a premium car like a Toyota Camry. And that link you posted talked about a Prius that had KNOWN problems and warning lights etc. Could this not have been driver error?
Yes, I had a break failure this week! While parking my Camry Hybrid the breaks failed! When towed in the car was tested and breaks appear to be fine! This incident happened in the middle of the day, perfect weather...good thing I was going slow and only parking the car. No, I did not hit the accelerator! I have had the car since Sept 06. Anyone else with a smiliar experience?? chloe
I had a spelling failure once. Fortunately, I found the word in a dictionary and corrected my error.
we have too many "victims" these days and not enough folks who don't realize that it's their responsibility, not the manufacturer's, to check their fluid levels and other safety/reliability-related things.
