problem #1

Aug 082003

Camry 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,600 miles
On the freeway when I applied the brakes for emergency stop it went to the floor.T took extended distance to stop the vehicle. The dealer changed the main cylinder, but after a week the problem got worse. The brake pedal does not have any reserve distance as it specified in the maintanance and repair manual, the pedal is too soft and spongy. Because the brake pedal softness the braking time is increased by 3 seconds. When I asked the assitant manger had they performed actual tests on the vehicle after the repair he told me that they did a computerized brake test, but when I asked for hte printout he said that the computer cannot print it.
