| 2009 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I PURCHASED FROM DARCARS IN SILVER SPRING, MD., AT THE END OF 2008. IT IS SUBJECT TO THE GAS PEDAL RECALL AND THE FLOOR MAT RECALL, BUT I ALSO HAVE A SEPARATE PROBLEM. MY BRAKES FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO DAYCARE/WORK ON JANUARY 27TH AND I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHY. I WAS DRIVING IN DOWNTOWN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK WHEN I TRIED TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT ON 14TH STREET. I MANAGED TO AVOID SMASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ONLY BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE, WHICH LUCKILY HAD NO TRAFFIC. MY CAR TRAVELED ROUGHLY ANOTHER HALF BLOCK BEFORE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS QUITE SCARY, IN PART BECAUSE I HAD MY ONE-YEAR-OLD AND MY THREE-YEAR-OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN IT HAPPENED. I LEFT WORK EARLY THAT DAY AND TOOK THE CAR UP TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AT THIS POINT, THOUGH, I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR - ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS - AND I AM THINKING OF SELLING IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I ASSUME THIS IS UNRELATED TO ANY OF THE RECENT RECALLS AFFECTING THE CAMRY. *TW |
