US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) again took a Toyota model in their sights to check them for brake assist problems, after the agency received an increased number of complains from different owners.
Over 50 complains have been submitted to NHTSA by owners that experienced “intermittent loss of assisted braking” in their older-generation Toyota Camrys. This can be translated into longer stopping distances and even the loss of Toyota’s Brake Assist function, which aids with the braking force in an emergency.

As a result, NHTSA is currently investigating around 30,000 Toyota Camry Hybrid possibly affected models made between 2007 and 2008. In case you too had the same experience, help with the process by filing a complaint on NHTSA’s official site here.
