Since purchasing my 98 Toyota Camry 10/3/97, I have two separate incidents whereas my brakes did squeak & squeal when stopping. Brought my car into Toyota on two separate occiaisions and was told by dealership that they were aware of a brake problem, and would provide a temporary quick fix until the mfgr recalled the Camry's. I've had ft pads & machine rotors & rear brakes adjusted 2-3 times in 98. I've paid $300+ towards this service to my new car and there is still no resolution to this problem. Did advise dealership that I will by another car, but it will not be a Toyota Camry. I'll begin purchasing Honda products beginning in 99 and will not go back to Toyota after being a faithful customer for over 10+ years.
Consumer complained that braking system would make unnecessary noise whenever consumer applied brakes on short distance, a loud grinding sound. Vehicle been in/out dealer shop on three occasions and problem cannot be resolved.
When braking and coming to a stop the brakes grind/squeak, metal on metal. Dealer contacted multiple times, Toyota contacted and no response. Located a tsb, repairs being made per #BR002-98.
When pushing the brake pedal brakes make a loud noise, there is also extended stopping distance. Two repairs have been done, dealer states they will not repair again because it is the design of the model.
