My brakes on my 2015 Camry XLE first went to the floor in November of 2014. I called Toyota and the said that it probably had air in the line since I pumped it several times and then got full pedal. I explicated to the guy that I almost hit another vehicle and he said that their is no recall on this vehicle. I said it needs looked at and he told me that they was booked and if the light for the brake was not on then they are working. I did not feel safe at this point, but I drove it for a while to see if it would happen again. At first I noticed that it seem as if I was not getting full petal only about 1/2 to 3/4 at best. Then on 5/9/2016 it happened again all the way to the floor no brakes and almost hitting another vehicle, luckily I was not going that fast and I thought to use my emergency brakes.
I took the car to Craig Toyota in Madison, IN as I could not drive it. They said well depending on what it is it may or may not be covered. it's like i was in a tug of war with them. I told him to check it out and I would go from their. I received a call stating that they found a code that told them my booster for the brakes was defective and would replace it free of charge.
It seems to me from what I am reading that this is a known issue and its not being add to the recall list.
This second time my brakes went to the floor, really scared me. I almost hit another car. I had to really push with weight to stop the car. I called Toyota Corp., about any complaints about brakes going to the floor. They lied, and said they had no complaints. I called Planet Toyota, in Matteson, IL, where I brought my car, and made an appointment for service for my brakes.
I found out on the internet on About Automobiles .com, that there are multiple complaints about brakes failure on the 2015 Toyota Camry. I am very upset. I believe my car is a LEMON. MY CAR IS LIKE NEW, with only 500 plus miles. I drive it very little, and to have brakes trouble at this early stage means that this problem is factory related. I believe I should be refunded for all the money I paid and put intp this car.
I started my 2015 Camry by putting my foot on the brakes, then pushing the engine start bottom. Took my foot off the brake and applied my seatbelt. Out my foot on the brakes again and put the car in reverse, the brakes went to the floor. I then put the car in park, waited a few minutes, started the car again, with the same method and the care seemed ok. Drove away.
