| After my car had been parked outside in the cold (december in minneapolis) for the day, i noticed that, at very slow speeds (i.e. crawling), the brakes on my car took longer than normal to bring the car to a halt. despite moving very slowly, when i pressed hard on the brake, the car still continued moving for several feet before i felt the brakes engage. i was in a parking lot, so i tried doing this several times, each with the same result. i drove home on the highway and could not determine whether the problem persisted, but i have not noticed the same issue since. *tr | |||

| I have always noticed a delayed breaking feeling in my 2008 toyota camry hybrid. also, when traveling at a higher rate of speed i notice the car shaking when just applying the breaks to even gradually slow down. this morning i rearended someone because of what i feel is the delayed breaking. abs did not kick in and no airbag deployed. i was traveling under 25mph and was on a decline. i should not have had to apply the breaks as hard as i felt i was pressing but was so shocked when the car would not stop. | |||

| I do not know if this is a complaint and write as i see the toyota prius brake investigation. i have a camry hybrid and had a brake problem last spring. on saturday 4-25-09, my vsc/abs/warning light came on while i was near the baierl cadillac dealership. as i had leased from baierl toyota, i pulled in the baierl cadillac service as the brakes felt wrong and took two feet. the car did stop. they called baierl toyota who said to drive up unless flashing warning lights. the lights were steady so i drove slowly without any accident from wexford pa to mars pa to the dealership. i called monday (ordered part), tues (waiting for part for brakes) and wed(part in morning -need computer to calibrate). the car was returned and the brakes seem fine with no further vsc/abs lights. i do not have the parts. i assume that baierl toyota, mars, pa 16046 has the records and could tell you more. i did not pay more attention as it was taken care of by the dealership under warranty. my friend suggested that i notify you in the event that the hybrid brakes on the camry should also be checked to help someone else. *tr | |||
