It seems there was a recall for some 2019 Toyota Camrys for a similar brake issue, although my car was not included in this recall.

While traveling at interstate speeds (about 68 MPH) a vehicle in front of me (about 6 car lengths ahead) hit a pickup truck. I hit the brakes and then my car's auto braking system was activated (displaying on the dashboard) but it did not feel like my car was slowing down. I then proceeded to push the break all the way to the floorboard and my car did not slow down causing me to hit the vehicle in front of me. It felt like the auto-breaking system was preventing me from applying full braking power. When I pushed the break petal to the floor it felt like I was pushing on air. There was no resistance on the petal as there normally would be. There were no skid marks on the road and after the impact, my vehicle would not move. I had to put the car in park and then back into drive to move off the road.

4 days ago, after driving about an hour, I got an alert that said low braking power. This was after I had tuned my vehicle off to go into convenience store for a few minutes, then went through drive thru and got back in the road when it first alerted me. I took a picture of the alerts that popped up. I immediately changed direction and drove less than 10 miles to Tuscaloosa Toyota. They found no fault codes. I drove the car the next day with no alerts. 3rd day, it popped on and back off a few times. Today it came on after about an hour, this time while I was applying brakes, then would disappear. They diagnosed the issue and informed me of the below needed repair… Brake - Hydraulic Brake Booster Pump: BRAKE BOOSTER NO HOLDING VACUUM $1,274.73 I am aware that there were some recalls associated with this for my year model that did not involve my VIN. Hoping to get more information on the recall.

1st time this happened I turned car on around 4am after work and numerous alerts came on (LDA,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM,PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION,SECONDARY COLLISION BRAKE SYSTEM).I Kept turning car on and off but still alerts light up and not allow me to drive due to brakes on. Had to disconnect battery then connect and alerts were gone. 2nd time I was driving and all sensor lights came up again. Locked up my brakes and luckily no cars near by that could have hit me. Took video of the issues when happened. Also on my screen the messages appear of what was malfunctioning. I am scheduling appointment for issue to be checked. But have had other people state same issue happened to them and decided to report issue. Will see if dealer finds issue, even though others people with same issues have not got a resolved issue from dealers. 1st incident was on 10/22/21 and 2nd incident was on 10/26/21

ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALMOST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR BOARD WHEN TRYING TO STOP. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES 2 TO 3 TIMES TO BUILD PRESSURE TO COME TO A STOP. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY CONCERNS. EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE EASILY DUPLICATED. THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE. FOR MY SAFETY, MY PASSENGERS AND FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON THE ROAD

ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY CONCERNS. I'VE STATED TO THEM EVERY TIME THAT IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE EASILY DUPLICATED.

WHEN I AM AT THE RED LIGHT AND IS ABOUT TO GO THERE IS ACCELERATION DELAY THAT HAPPENS WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE DANGEROUS. EVEN WHEN AM DRIVING AND I WAS TO SPEED UP THERE IS ACCELERATION DELAY.

STARTED NOTICING THAT THE CAR WAS FEELING WEAK WHEN ACCELERATING, AND WITH NO REASON AT ALL, AT SPEEDS AROUND 70MPH THE CAR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. YOU LOSE STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO SAFELY MERGE INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. TOYOTA HAS A KNOWLEDGED THE RECALL BUT WITH NO REMEDY AS OF YET (IT HAS BEEN SINCE OCTOBER 2020 THAT THEY RECALL WAS ISSUED), AND SAYS CAR IS UNSAFE THAT IF I DRIVE VEHICLE TO STAY IN RIGHT LANE OF INTERSTATE WHICH TO ME IS JUST AS DANGEROUS AS TRAVELING IN ANY LANE ON INTERSTATE, THOUGH THEY RECOMMENDED NOT DRIVING VEHICLE. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THE VEHICLE ONLY WILL STALL OUT AT A HIGHER SPEED (AROUND 70MPH).
