Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
6/6/17, 7PM, ON STARTING CAR; IN MALL PARKING LOT, BOTH THE BRAKE AND POWER STEERING ALERT WARNING LIGHTS/MSGS TURNED ON AND STAYED ON. TURNED ENGINE OFF/ON SEVERAL TIMES; ALERTS STILL ON. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND VERIFIED PARKING BRAKE DISENGAGED. DROVE HOME, AND GARAGED CAR. STARTED/STOPPED ENGINE MANY TIMES, TILL LATE AT NIGHT, BUT ALERTS STAYED LIT. I FLIPPED THROUGH ALL THE ALERT MESSAGES, WHICH SHOWED 2 ALERTS, 1)BRAKE ALERT AND 2)POWER STEERING ALERT. BOTH ALERTS WERE PRESENT NEXT MORNING. PER OWNER BOOKLET, DEALER WANTED CAR TOWED IN. PREPARED FOR FRONT WHEEL TOW, BY DRIVING FROM GARAGE TO STREET BY TURNING CAR TO FACE STREET AND DRIVING BACK TO DRIVEWAY. AFTER PARKING CAR, BOTH THE ALERT LIGHTS TURNED OFF. MENTIONED THIS TO DEALER. ASKED IF I STILL WANTED TO BRING CAR IN, I SAID YES, I WANTED IT INVESTIGATED. 6/8/17 DEALER RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AND FOUND HISTORY CODE C1441. REPORTED AS "ABS PERFORMANCE DECLINE AND BRAKE FUNCTION". THIS CAN BE CAUSED BY "BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED WHILE MOVE WITH ENGINE OFF, OR PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDALS, CONCURRENTLY'. I KNOW NEITHER OF THESE TWO HAPPENED. DEALER ROAD TESTED CAR, FOUND NO RECURRENCES OF THE PROBLEM AND RETURNED CAR. BACK HOME, FOUND THAT THE 2015 CAMRY ,WITH CODE C1441, HAD A RECALL OF THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER ASSEMBLY (TSB-0010-15). SINCE THE 2016 CAMRY IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CAR AS THE 2015 CAMRY, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT APPLY TO THE 2016 MODEL. ABS MALFUNCTION, WITH CODE C1441 IS STILL BEING TRIGGERED, ON THE 2016 CAMRY, WITH THE 2AR... ENGINE. FOR THE 2016 CAMRY, FOUND BRAKE RELATED PROBLEMS STILL BEING REPORTED, SOME WITH SEVERE ACCIDENTS, POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE ABS OR COMPUTER . SEE NHTSA ID 10991889, 10966112, 10934015, 10915061, 10903212, 10883921, AND 10873023 AS EXAMPLES. HOPE TOYOTA GETS A CHANCE TO LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY DEFECT, BEFORE A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
