What owners wrote
I have always noticed a delayed braking feeling in my 2008 toyota camry hybrid. Also, when traveling at a higher rate of speed I notice the car shaking when just applying the brakes to even gradually slow down. This morning I rearended someone because of what I feel is the delayed braking. ABS did not kick in and no airbag deployed. I was traveling under 25MPH and was on a decline. I should not have had to apply the brakes as hard as I felt I was pressing but was so shocked when the car would not stop.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota camry hybrid. The contact stated that when she depressed the brake pedal, she felt a jolting jerk and the pedal went down to the floor when she applied it lightly. She took the vehicle to the dealership and the dealer recalibrated the stroke sensor. About 8-9 months later, the issue occurred again so she took the vehicle back to the dealership, and the stroke sensor was replaced. She stated that she noticed no problems since the latest repair.
