“I have noticed lately that when I depress my brake pedal, it starts to slow the car down, but suddenly disengages and I have to depress much harder. It's almost like the brakes let go. I know there is an issue with earlier models and their brakes, is it possible it would extend to 2012 camry hybrids?”

“Brake actuator: my brakes were making a creaking noise /thumping when pressed...in which case I thought it was just time for regular maintenance. About 0430, december 21, 2017 (my wedding anniversary) I was driving on the highway 99south headed from fresno, ca to tulare, ca...about a 45min drive. While on the highway, my car started to make random chiming sounds that did not seem to come from anywhere particular. There was no indicator light associated with the sound...it was just random sounds I had never heard before. That went on periodically for the next 20-30mins. …”
