2004 Toyota Camry Solara Brakes Problems

“Exited freeway and hit brakes to slow and stop at traffic light. The motor accelerated, the brakes were too weak to stop the vehical, and I crashed into the stopped car at the traffiic light. It seemed that the cruise control did not turn off when I pressed the brake pedal. They failed to turn the cruise control off.”

“I have a 2004 Toyota Camry Solara and the brakes on my car are not as accurate as they should be. I recently had my brakes repaired in dec. 2009 at sandy springs Toyota in atlanta and was still not pleased with the resistance of the brakes.

“I just read an article about the braking problem with the new Toyota prius. It stated while driving on a bumpy or uneven surface the car would experience braking problems. I have experienced a similar problem with my 2004 Toyota solara. I was coming to a stop on a rural road that was very bumpy just before the stop sign.the brakes responded like what I thought was the ABS actuating. The brakes seemed to fade. After that incident my brakes never seemed to be the same. I have to brake much sooner and with more force then I had to use prior to the above incident. …”
