MY WIFE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR DOESN'T BRAKE GOOD GOING DOWNHILL. UNTIL I DROVE IT AND I WAS DRIVING FROM LOS ANGELES TO BAKERSFIELD AND ON THE LAST DESCENT THE CAR REACHED A VERY HIGH SPEED BECAUSE WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE, THE CAR JUST JUMPED A LOT AND BRAKES FAILED TO STOP IT. REACHING THE SPEED OF 100 MILES/HOUR MY FRONT TWO TIRES WERE GONE AND 10 MINUTES LATER MY LEFT REAR TIRE JUST EXPLODED I ALMOST WENT TO A CLIFF. I WAS HAVING MY TWO DAUGHTERS WITH ME I WAS REALLY SCARED THINKING ABOUT THEM AND MY LITTLE ONE NEEDED TO BE TREATED BY A PSYCHOLOGIST. I NEED THAT PROBLEM TO BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I NEED HELP. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

Brakes on this car has always been kind of spongy and brake pedal goes down very far before they engage. One day driving along, I came to a stop light, and as I pressed the brake pedal it seemed to accelerate but stopped just short of the bumper of a police officer. I complained about it to the dealer during warranty but they said the pedal was normal after checking it.
This is not normal to me, my girlfriend has a 2012 Camry XLE and if you press the brakes it stops you very well. There doesn't seem to be a fix for this as I was told to bleed the brakes which did but it is still very spongy - not to mention you really have to be careful when stopping because a few times it did not feel like it was going to.
