1992 TOYOTA CAMRY BRAKE FAILURE *GR THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO WARNING AND WITHOUT ANY RESISTANCE. ALL THE PEDAL PUSHING WAS USELESS. IF THE CONSUMER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED IT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONSUMER WENT TO A BRAKE SHOP AND THEY SUGGESTED FLUSHING THE OLD BRAKE FLUID. SINCE THE FLUID WAS CHANGED, THE CONSUMER HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANOTHER BRAKE FAILURE. *JB

SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS SINCE MY WIFE PURCHASED A PREVIOUSLY OWNED 1992 TOYOTA CAMRY, THE CAR HAS ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WITH NO ONE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. SHE SAID IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM HAS TAKEN OVER CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS PHENOMENON HAS TAKEN PLACE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55 MPH AND AS SLOW AS 15 MPH. A CO-WORKER OF MY WIFE'S SISTER HAS A TOYOTA AND HAS DESCRIBED EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENING WHILE SHE IS DRIVING HER CAR. *TR
