"summary": "I AM AN EXCELLENT DRIVER. I PURCHASED THIS PRIUS IN THE SUMMER OF 2011. WE (MY WIFE AND YOUNG DAUGHTER) WERE PROCEEDING ON JUANITA DRIVE N.E. IN KIRKLAND, WA. MY WIFE AND I AGREE THAT OUR SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 30-33 MPH AND THAT THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 3+ CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN US AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. THE WEATHER WAS DRY AND SUNNY. SUDDENLY, A VEHICLE THREE VEHICLES AHEAD OF US STOPPED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, AND THE TWO VEHICLES BEHIND IT WERE ABLE TO STOP. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED MY BRAKES TO THE FLOOR AS SOON AS I OBSERVED THE STOPPED VEHICLE AHEAD. I FELT NO RESPONSE - NO GRIPPING OF THE BRAKES OR GRIPPING OF THE WHEELS TO THE ROAD, NO SQUEALING, NO SKIDDING, NO SENSE OF THE BRAKES SLOWING THE VEHICLE IN THE THREE SECONDS I APPLIED THEM. DUE TO VEHICLES IN THE OPPOSING LANE, A NARROW ROAD AND NO SHOULDER (A DITCH WITH TELEPHONE POLES ON THE RIGHT), I WAS FORCED TO DESIGN THE LEAST HARMFUL IMPACT - MY FRONT RIGHT CORNER TO THE REAR LEFT CORNER OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE IMPACT TORE OPEN THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, SHATTERING THE WINDSHIELD NEXT TO MY WIFE AND CAUSING HER LEGS TO FLY UP AND STRIKE THE DASHBOARD, INJURING HER LEGS IN SEVERAL PLACES. HER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY 7-YEAR-OLD WAS IN HER CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT. THE LARGER SPLIT BACK WAS BEHIND HER. THE BACK BECAME UNHINGED AT IMPACT AND FLIPPED FORWARD, FORCING MY DAUGHTER'S UPPER BODY FORWARD. SHE SUSTAINED MINOR FACIAL INJURIES. WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE AIRBAG NON-DEPLOYMENT WAS APPROPRIATE (I AM NOT CERTAIN OF THIS), THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THE BRAKING WAS SOFT, SQUISHY, NON-EXISTENT, AND THE BACK SEAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BECOME UNHINGED. *TR",

"summary": "I RENTED A TOYOTA CAMRY 2013 IN DECEMBER 2012. WHILE SITTING IN THE TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEED, I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF BUCHANAN AND US 93. I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE PAD WHILE THE CRUISER WAS ON, HOWEVER, THE BRAKE DID NOT RESPOND. THE RENTAL CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN AND KEPT MOVING FORWARD. EVENTUALLY, IT HIT THE FRONT VEHICLE. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS INJURED BECAUSE OF LOW SPEED. IF IT WERE A NORMAL FUNCTIONAL CAR, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE STOPPED BECAUSE THE SPEED WAS VERY LOW. BUT IN THIS CASE, THE RENTAL CAR CAUSED THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF ITS POOR QUALITY. THE CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. IN CONTRAST, THE VEHICLE IN THE FRONT, A SUV, HAD NO DAMAGE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I CHECKED THE SCENE AND DID NOT FIND ANY TIRE BRAKE MARK ON THE GROUND, WHICH SUGGESTED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RENTAL CAR HAD MUCH SLOW RESPONSE FROM THE BRAKE WHEN THE CRUISE WAS ON, AND THE BRAKE SEEMED TO BE MUCH MORE SENSITIVE WHEN THE CRUISE WAS OFF. IN ORDER TO PROTECT OTHER DRIVERS ON HIGHWAY, I STRONGLY REQUEST NHTSA TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION ON TOYOTA CAMRY'S BRAKE SYSTEM. IF ANY DEFECT IS IDENTIFIED, THEY SHOULD RECALL ALL THE PROBLEMATIC VEHICLES. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE SPEED WERE HIGH, AND THINGS COULD BE BLOODY AND HOFFIFYING. I HOPE ONE FEWER ACCIDENT LIKE THAT COULD BE REDUCED BY THE RESPONSIVE ACTIONS FROM THE GOVERNMENT. *TR",

WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE SAME CONCERN. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE, BUT ODDLY THE NOISE WAS CONSTANT EVEN AFTER A VISIT AT THE DEALERS. THIS VISIT WE HAD DONE WAS NOT JUST ONCE BUT MANY TIMES, RECEIVING THE SAME ANSWER. WHAT UPSETS ME IS THAT AFTER MY WARRANTY WAS OVER. SUDDENLY THE DEALER KNEW THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM I WAS CONSTANTLY VERIFYING THEM ABOUT EARLIER. WHICH SUMMED UP TO ABOUT THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. I, WHO IS REFUSING TO PAY THIS.THIS CAR STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. WHAT I CAN CONCLUDE FROM THIS IS, THAT THE CAR ITSELF IS A DEFECT.THE DEALER TOLD OUR FAMILY TO CALL THE MANUFACTURES AND LET THEM KNOW, BECAUSE THIS CAR COULD HAVE BEEN A DEFECT FROM BEGINNING, WHEN PURCHASED. THE DEALER SAYS, THE PROBLEM IN THE CAR IS \" BRAKE ACTUATOR BOOSTER ASSEMBLY.\" *TR",

IT'S RATHER STARTLING AND FORTUNATELY HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET FOR NO OTHER CAR HAS BEEN AROUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS. A DIFFERENT STORY WITH THE OTHER MORE SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHEN NEEDING TO COME TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP DUE TO SUDDEN STOPPING OF THE CAR IN FRONT. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I EXPERIENCED THE \"NO BRAKE\" ISSUE WHEN SUDDENLY NEEDING TO PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKE FOR A STOPPED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD PLENTY OF DISTANCE FOR STOPPING BUT BECAUSE OF THE \"NO BRAKE\" ISSUE HAD TO STEER OFF TO THE SIDE TO MISS THE CAR. SHOCKED AND CONFUSED AT WHAT HAPPENED, THOUGHT MAYBE I DID SOMETHING WRONG BY NOT PUMPING THE BRAKE. THEN TWO DAYS AGO, I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING BUT THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED FOR AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE TO GO THROUGH THE INTERCEPTION. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE HARD AND JUST KEPT MOVING RIGHT INTO THE REAR OF THE TRUCK IN FRONT. I NOW HAVE ABOUT $1,800 OF DAMAGES FOR THE TRUCK (NO DAMAGE CAUSED TO IT) HAD AN HITCH WHICH PUNCTURED MY BUMPER AND BENT THE AIR CONDENSER. I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO FIX IT FOR IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN I DECIDE WHAT'S MY NEXT SAFE CAR TO PURCHASE, I WILL HAVE IT FIXED AND TRADE IT IN FOR IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR I'M NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLY TO MY CONCERN IS THE SAME AS WITH EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINT AND REVIEW I HAVE READ, THIS IS HOW THE BRAKE SYSTEM WORKS AND NO ERROR. THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH CREATES UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. FORTUNATELY IT WAS A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME THIS TIME. BUT WHAT IF IT'S A PERSON WALKING ACROSS THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME NEXT TIME?? *TR",

THEY SAID THE 2013 CAMRY SE WAS FINE, AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL ME. ALTHOUGH THE CAR HAS BEEN FINE SINCE, I AM TERRIFIED AT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN WHEN I AM MOVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY!! I LOVED THAT CAR, BUT NOW I AM SOMEWHAT AFRAID OF IT! *TR",

WHEN LETTING OFF THE BRAKE, THERE WAS AN AIRY, SUCTION SOUND. AFTER A WHILE, WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF, AND THE BRAKE PRESSURE NORMALIZED. THERE IS STILL AN AIRY SOUND WHEN I USE THE BRAKE PEDAL, THOUGH, WHICH ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE THERE, EVEN WHEN THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST SIX MONTHS. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RUN, AND IT GAVE CODE #1391, LEAKAGE IN ACCUMULATOR ABNORMAL, WHICH POINTED TO AN INTERNAL LEAK IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER/MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY. I NOTICED THAT TOYOTA HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM IN 2010 AND PRIOR PRIUS MODELS, BUT MINE DOES NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE IT IS A 2011. SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN TOYOTA'S BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS RECALL EXTENDED TO COVER MODELS BEYOND 2010.",
