2005 Toyota Camry Solara Brakes Problems

“Purchased 2005 solara 11/5/04. Had mva on sunny,dry day in rush hour traffic. I applied brakes at about 45 MPH and the car did a 360. I hit a concrete barrier and spun around and hit water filled barriers on the opposite side of the expressway. The car did not stop until it landed in mud. Toyota examined car and said they found nothing wrong with the car. To this day I still have problems with the brakes. I had $9500.00 in damages and 2 dislocated knees. I hit no other car and no one hit me...not going fast at all. I am still driving the car although I am afraid but I have no other option.”

“Rear right tire shows early worn-out, car skids to the right, it can be felt on the right rear again. It's been happening since the car was bought in april, 05. The dealer could not see anything wrong. Only the rear right brake plate shows slope and hill sign. Warp??? It is hard to shift from park sometimes, brake must be pressed again and again or the car mush be pushed slightly. All other things are fine.”

“Purchased a 2005 Toyota solara in the fall of 2004. Was involved in a crash between dallas and houston on i45 south after the brakes did not lock and I hydroplaned during a rainstorm. Was hit by a truck after my car skidded into the right hand lane. I had adjusted my speed for the weather and was under the speed limit. Was not ticketed but my insurance paid both claims. Still notice brakes locking when I pump them so I take my foot off the brake completely before reapplying pressure or I mash them to the floor.”

“On jan. 5, 2012 around 10:00 a.m. I was accelerating up hill at the speed of 50 mpg. When I let up on the gas pedal my car continued to accelerate. I started applying the brakes but it didn't help. As the car kept going faster I went into a panic mode applying the brakes, pulling back on the emergency brakes as far as I could, and trying to shift into neutral or park or anything to get my car to stop. I went off the road at the same time I got it into park. Stopping abruptly I jumped from the car the wheels still spinning and smoke pouring form the wheel wells. …”
