“The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while the wife was driving approximately 25 MPH and pressing the brake pedal to stop, the braking system malfunctioned causing the brake pedal to extend to the floorboard and the vehicle crashed into the rear end of a second vehicle. During the crash, no air bags deployed, and no injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed to the home. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in an unknown manufacturer recall related to the Power Brake Booster Vacuum Pump. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 130,000.”
“I am deeply concerned and appalled about the safety issue with the 2017 Toyota Camry, which rolled back while it was parked in the driveway of my parents’ house, and resulted in my mother’s foot being crushed. She is currently hospitalized and has been dealing with complications and damages related to this injury. At the time of incident, my father called 911 and paramedics arrived to the scene, and took my mom to the emergency room. I do not have a police report. This dangerous malfunction, which caused the vehicle to move despite being in a parked position, poses serious risks to driver and passenger safety. It is unacceptable that a vehicle of this nature could fail to securely hold its position, leading to injury. We are seeking a thorough investigation into this issue to prevent further harm to others. The vehicle is available for inspection upon your request.”
