2004 Toyota Camry - the front breaks with ABS do not work properly. I have has several occasions where the breaks have failed to stop the car on snow - the ABS system pulsates too fast. This has happened on a dry road at a turn as well. Please, please, please - try to address this defect before someone get's killed.

The contact stated the vehicle experienced defective braking system, a because pressing the brakes very hard over a period of months resulted in the contact suffered from pain foot, leg and hip pain. The dealership and the manufacturer have been contacted, and they stated nothing was wrong with the vehicle. Also, the amount of pressure required to stop the vehicle or to press the brakes was causing dimension stopping capacity. She know longer drove the vehicle because of the pain, and the constant fear of being in an accident.

Brakes failed to work when going over bumpy roads, aslo brakes do seem to wrok as\ design (to stop) when immediate action is required. I press the brakes when trying to stop and avoid an accident howver the brakes did not appear to work and the car jst kept on going as I the brakes did not exist. I press hard with more than adequate time, however the brakes did not even slow down the vehicle. Something should be done before someone gets seriously injured. I was traveling at about 25-30 miles per hour and the brakes ailed to react as expected.

Break pedal goes all the way to the floor. Car takes an excessive distance to stop from freeway speeds. Dealer says all 2004 Toyota Camry do this. They say there is no problem. Lets do something before someone dies instead of after someone dies.

The ABS light came on while I was driving the car after having this part repaired the previous week. Toyota did a final repair attempt on the car in compliance with the North Carolina state lemon law for a resonable number of attepmts. The yaw sensor was replaced and the light went off. The traction control system in the car was not working until the part was replaced.
