Have a new 5-speed Camry LE, when we picked it up, it seemed that there was a "sometimes there, sometimes not" "klunk" noise that was apparent when we stepped on the brake.
It sounded as if it were coming from the pedal mechanism itself. Took it to the dealer and, of course, they could not duplicate. Now, with
500 miles on the car, the "klunk" has pretty much disappeared, but has been replaced by a sometimes there, sometimes not, "buzz or vibration, or small shake."
When it does happen it happens only right at the "top" of the pedal as you begin to depress the brake -- once you move the pedal farther down, it disappears. The brakes otherwise seem to work fine (NO anti-lock brakes on this model).
I asked my independent mechanic about it and he just shrugged. I noticed NTSB has a TSB that mentions front brake vibration on the 2002 and 2003 Camry, but alldata does not yet have the 2003 TSBs on line so I can't read the whole report.
As I noted, this SEEMS to be in the pedal, not a warped rotor...
Anyone know if the TSB addresses my problem above or if it is unrelated?
