| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: If i had been driving any of my other vehicles besides the 2005 toyota camry that i have owned for 4 months, i would not have crashed into the bumper of the stopped truck. i saw the truck in time to apply the brakes while moving at 15 miles per hour,on dry clean pavement, to stop before hitting the rear end of the truck when it was a good 20 feet away. not only did my toyota not stop when i smashed on the brakes, it left absolutely no skid marks, and managed to completely rip the grille and headlights off the front bumper, and curl the hood back over a foot. the force did not deploy the airbag, and only caused minor damage to the bumper of the truck. the brakes absolutely were at fault, and i regret having to find out in such an expensive way that the brakes are not dependable at all, especially for a car with only 28,000 miles on the odometer. toyota should pay for the damages if the same problem exists for any other drivers. *nm |
