Steering pulls and is loose. Worse when braking. Intermittent problem. Acts like what I see has been recall on the 2015 Camry. Why not my vehicle? Just started. I have owned vehicle since 2017.
Was driving and slowing down for a light and could feel that car was losing control and breaks did not seem to work properly, then the care stalled and stopped, so turned car off and turned back on again and started. Same thing happened about 10 times and when I finally went back home because I was afraid to go further, I could smell gas when I exited my vehicle. Each time it stalled, I had to restart in order to go again, very scarry and everyone beeping at me doesnt help.
Bought with 22K miles about 1 1/2 years ago. The cruise control speed and the speedometer issues have always been present. When using cruise control (under 45 Suburban and urban streets) the car sometimes cannot regulate on slight inclines and speeds up by up to 5 mph over setting and doesn't decelerate. Several times it's done it on flat roads. It's never done this on the freeway even coming up slopes. It's rare that my digital speed reading is the same as my set cruise control speed. My digital speed reading also usually differs from my speedometer by about 2-4 mph also, sometime last summer an issue with my brakes has been occurring and is becoming more frequent. When first starting my car (I notice it on damp or dewy mornings) I can hear my brakes as I'm backing down my slightly sloped, cement driveway. I put my car in reverse and barely tap the gas because I go very slowly because we have a short driveway (35-40ft total) and a little lip at the entrance where the driveway meets our culdesac. It's not every morning and I've never noticed it any other times. Sounds like when brake pads are wearing down and feels almost spongy when pressing brake pedal. No squealing or chirping. Ive had my brakes checked twice and they're in good shape. *current mileage is approx 42K
While pulling into my driveway at approximately 0-5 mph I put my foot on the brake pedal to park in front of my garage door/brick wall and I was unable to stop. The pedal went directly to the floor and the car accelerated forward into the brick wall. After hitting the brick wall, the car bounced back off the wall a few inches. All airbags deployed and I became hysterical. The fumes from the air bags were throughout the car. I was screaming and crying at the same time. I was able to put the car into park and found my cell phone on the floor which fell from my purse and called 911. I was unable to reach the door handle to get out of the car. I was able to open the sun roof and started screaming for help. After a few minutes my neighbor came running and opened the driver's door from the outside and I slid out under the airbag and dropped to the cement on my behind.

Torque converter shudders around 40-45 mph it gets worse and I have to let off the gas or speed up for it to stop, not safe in heavy traffic!! brake type squeak that will not stop even after new rotors and brake pads.
Brake booster - my vehicle has 43,000 for 2015. All services on my vehicle have been with the dealer. Blake fluid is leaking into the brake booster causing the brake maintenance light to com on. The brake booster is normally not a part that should fail so soon.
Brake system makes a loud 'clack' noise when vehicle is moving in reverse and driver apply the service brakes pedal. Toyota dealer stated that this noise is normal. They are not trying to solve the problem. This situation happens every day independently of how many hours or days vehicle being parked. Noise can be reproduced on private garage, public road and or highway. That disgusting noise is always there. Toyota is not taking any action about this... maybe they are waiting for someone to get hurt or kill due to defective brake system.
I was stopped at a light. My car stopped but would creep up until I pressed on the brakes harder. This happened 3 times in a row while I was waiting for the light to change. I looked at my dash and it said something about check brake system. I went straight to the dealership and turned the car off. When they tried to duplicate it they could not. They pulled the information from the computer to find out my brake booster had failed? they are unsure if it will happen again. I looked up on the internet (NHTSA) to see if any other 2015 Toyota had this same problem. It said Toyota knows about the issue yet there are not enough of them having the issue to do a recall. This needs to be a recall. This is a safety issue! my car has had all of its required maintenance.
While I was driving on freeway at 65 mph, the brake pedal went down to the floor and made a loud grinding sound. The dashboard flashed warning lights "brake" and a 2nd warning of "check brake system". I immediately pulled over and consulted the manual which said stop immediately and contact Toyota dealer, which I did. I took the car in to lipton Toyota, sunrise, fl (it was near death experience on the freeway). By the time I reached the dealer the brake lights went out. They called later and informed me nothing was wrong. I asked them to recheck as I knew something was wrong since the brake did not function properly and made a terrible noise. They kept the car until the following morning to recheck the car, and again said nothing was wrong. It happened twice one at 22K and another at 24K miles
The autonation Toyota cerritos dealership stated that there was a leak between the fire wall and the brake booster. It is requiring the replacement of the brake booster and brake master cylinder after only two years on the roads. The miles on the car are approximately 87,000 miles. But service personnel said she has not seen a problem like this with the 2015 Toyota Camry.

I was driving on I35 northbound at set speed limit. Suddenly a motorbike in fornt of me me hit the brakes to avoid collision with a car in fornt of it. I hit my brakes, to the maximum. I slid quiet long distance and came to a final stop. I nearly hit the biker, but I could feel the brakes not being able to slow down the car. A week after this, same thing happened but in a city traffic signal. I was trying to stop in a red light, but again the car slid this time and the car stopped in the middle of intersection. Luckily nobody was in the street, otherwise both of these incidences could have been a fatal accidents.
Under 15000 miles under city driving conditions. 2015 SE trim. Brake light and "check brake system" message appreared on the center console. On the way to the dealership, brakes failed to work and I panicked and pumped more than once. Heard a "thud" noise and lo and behold the brake light and the message disappeared. Dealer confirmed that there was a maintainence code (with the scanner) and that they are replacing "brake booster". vehicle still under warranty so luckily I dont have to pay anything. How is Toyota able to get away without a recall of faulty brakes? how many folks will have to get hurt or die before an action is taken.
