The Brakes Did Not Stop The Vehicle
2005 Toyota Camry
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Toyota dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2005 Camry. It is almost certainly misleading.
The problem with NHTSA data for the 2005 Camry is that for months on end, the news media repeatedly told the public that several Toyota models had an unintended acceleration defect, & to go to safercar.gov (the NHTSA's website) to file a complaint.
So, the NHTSA received a disproportionate number of complaints about Toyota unintended acceleration issues because of the national news media attention, to the point where their data is unreliable taken in context with any other vehicle that did not receive national news attention.
CarComplaints.com typically receives more complaints per day about vehicles than the NHTSA does, but the news media did not repeatedly say "go to CarComplaints.com to report your Camry acceleration problems" like they did about the NHTSA -- so although we have less complaint data than the NHTSA for the 2005 Camry, our data for the Camry is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Camry's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.

My Camry doesn't want to ever stop, ever.
Had this car checked by numerous mechanics and they say there is no issues, no air in line, rotors, calipers, and pads are all good. Tires are always good and I use premium brands. That'd give you some confidence... no.
When the car is cold, it has a very difficult time braking to a complete stop. Normally I actually throw the car into Neutral to help the car brake. I've tested it and gone up to 20mph and slammed the brakes and the vehicle doesn't even skid or show any urgency. Very concerning. While the car is cold and driving slow the vehicle almost wants to stay at 20mph and just auto-drive at that speed, I've tested various grades and it's like the car just wants to lurch and lurch without the brakes engaging. It's put me in weird situations where other drivers think I'm chancing it to pull out of street intersections.
I'm not sure why they made a V6 Camry with soft brakes, it's been an issue the entire time of ownership and I'm really tired of it.
