I started vehicle from a stopped position drove about 20 ft and noticed that I could not push down the brake pedal...I put the car in nuetral and applied the emergency break...there was a break warning light and a low break power message...I had to call a tow truck...
I first noticed severe vibration when going on highway, I applied brake and the entire front end started to vibrate. The car only has around 16,000 miles and its 2018 model. Bad rotor is causing this to shake. This rotor must have come from the factory defective. The dealer is unwilling to replace it. They want me to pay for this repair around $300. I realize that brake pads are not covered but the rotors should be covered because they came like that from the factory.

While pulling into parking spot, applied brakes & car excellerated, would not stop. Almost went into oncoming traffic. Car only stopped when I put it in park. Schaumburg Toyota customer care is looking into matter.
The response time of accelerating and the car moving is significant at irregular intervals. This is hazardous when I am planning to overtake because it takes longer than expected.
The car applied the brakes very hard while traveling down a major thoroughfare with no objects or other vehicles nearby. I was running around 50mph and the collision avoidance activated and the car slowed to nearly 20mph.
1. every time I back out of my driveway my brakes squeak very loudly. 2. the transmission never knows what gear to be in while driving and will clunk in and out of gear while in motion. 3. has a terrible burning smell of plastic and oil like when the car engine is hot. 4. drive side cabin has a constant antifreeze smell while running the A/C 5. the engine has a horrible load knocking noise while running. It sounds like a very old car. 6. I don't know what's wrong with the acceleration of the car or if it was designed this way but the 3-5 sec delay is dangerous I have complained about each one of these items to the Toyota dealer in gastonia nc at the 5 mile, 10mile and 15mile service and each time the dealer just tells me its fine and that's normal.
Brakes squeal loudly when backing out of sloped driveway on cold morning. Also, light sheet of rust on exterior and interior surface of all discs. Squeal goes away after a short while (ABS warm-up issue?), and the exterior rust went away after a few days of use. I've never seen or heard such on a new vehicle before (have driven multiple new cars over 40 years).
Very loud screeching sound brakes make every time I reverse my 2018 Toyota Camry xse. The sound is so loud my entire neighborhood knows when I leave my home. Dealership said it was normal. Not sure I can't trust my brakes.
Car cannot seem to determine which gear it should be in. When in stop and go traffic on freeway and pedal is not depressed, car lurches forward and a clunk is heard as the vehicle downshifts. Clunking sound is made worse in cold, humid, or cloudy weather. In the streets, when turning a corner and hitting the gas, there is a noticeable lag (about 2 seconds) until the car jerks forward and increases speed. If you want to pass someone you need to be very careful because the car can suddenly lurch forward and a higher speed than intended, or not accelerate at all. When car automatically brakes for you to avoid a collision, a loud rattling noise is heard and felt throughout cabin when depressing pedal, with most of the noise concentrated in the area under the hood of car.
