Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Brakes on the 2002 to present camrys, i have changed the whole systems out, and i keep telling tech suport that the fluid drains back into the mastercylinder from the line that loops up on non abs systems, the lines leak on the abs sysem due to under tighting. they tell us that the system was made to be soft from complaints of previous owners this is on 02 and present. i see all the below but why wait berfore someone gets killed,somthing needs to be done now. i work at a toyota dealership for 12 years now and this keeps getting shoved under the rug, the design is a defect in it self. at least do this test, drive a 02- 04 camry non abs, 2az eng 4 cyl, find a safe road, running about50- 80, slam on the brakes, to the floor they go. hope nothing is in front of you. may not do it on every one. find one that will ,then bleed them, still soft but will stop better,wait awhile then try it again, to the floor they go. sorry about the fake name and all but i woulden be working at toyota or any dearlership very long reporting somthing like this. call me a rat if you like but then say,maybe he is just thinking about me and my loved ones. please don't let this turn into a firestone thing.*ak
