LAST YEAR, 2009 ON DEC. 6TH, 10TH, AND 12TH, MY BRAKES FAILED AT VERY LOW SPEEDS AND COULD NOT STOP MY 2002 CAMRY XLE PURCHASED NEW AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.. FINALLY STOPPED BY RUNNING INTO HEAVY BUSHES. CAR NEVER SPEEDED UP. TOOK TO DEALER WITH NO RESULTS. THEN TOOK TO A GARAGE, ENTIRE SYSTEM CHECKED. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS WAS REPLACED AND WORKED FINE FROM 12/23/09 TO 2/23/10. THEN ON THIS DATE I TURNED FROM THE STREET TO ENTER A RESTRAINT PARKING LOT. EVERYTHING WAS FINE AS I SLOWED TO TURN STRAIGHT INTO A PARKING. MY SPEED COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BUT 3 TO 4 MILES PER HOUR.THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE CAR AND I RAN INTO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. THE FOUR TIMES THIS HAPPENED WAS TWICE IN REVERSE AND TWICE GOING FORWARD . THE CAR NEVER ACCELERATED AT ANY OF THE FOUR TIMES. THE SPEED WAS ALWAYS UNDER 4 TO 5 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO MY HOME AND THE CAMRY HAS SET IN MY GARAGE SINCE THEN. *TR
