1999 Toyota Camry SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MANY OCCASIONS HAS DROPPED TO THE FLOOR PAN FO NO APPEARANT REASON. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT BOTH HIGHWAY SPEED AND IN-CITY SPEEDS. I HAVE TO PUMP THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES FOR IT TO MAINTAIN BRAKE PRESSURE. IF I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL LONG ENOUGH IT EVENTUALLY DROPS. *AK

BRAKE PADS ARE WEARING OUT PREMATURELY. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED THE BRAKES MAKE A LOUD VIBRATING NOISE WITH POOR STOOPING EFFECT. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS HIGHWAY YET THE BRAKE WEAR OUT AS IF I APPLY THEM CONSTANTLY. DEALER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT BRAKE WEAR HAS BEEN ERRACTIC WITH CAR, YET ALL THEY RECOMMEND IS REPLACING BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACING THE ROTORS EVERY 10000 TO 15000 MILES. I'VE REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND NEED TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN SOON SINCE THEY ARE WORN AGAIN. IN GENERAL, THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHCLE FUNCTION POOR AT BEST WITH PREMATURE WEAR OUT OF BRAKE PADS AND DRUMS.*AK

ABS TOO SENSITIVE FOR ROAD CONDITIONS. SLIGHTEST VARIATION IN ROAD CONDITION CAUSES ABS SYSTEM TO GO INTO PANIC MODE BRAKING. ON MANY OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP BECAUSE OF ROAD WAS WET UNDER ONE TIRE AND NOT THE OTHER. CURRENT WINTER CONDITONS CAUSE ABS SYSTEM TO BRAKE ERRATICLY EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE BRAKES TO BE PULSATING LIKE THEY DO OR FOR THE BRAKES TO VIBRATE SO LOUD TO CAUSE THE DRIVER TO PANIC . I DREAD DRIVING THIS CAR FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW THE BRAKING SYSTEM WILL REACT. *AK

WHEN DRIVING AND UPON DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE A NORMAL STOP PEDAL TRAVELED TO FLOORBOARD, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. ALSO, CONSUMER HEARD NOISE COMING FROM FRONT END.
