Could someone please bring me up to date on the 99 Camry "brake groan" problem. In the past, I've seen complaints posted to the group re a groaning or grinding problem when applying the brakes, but happily ignored them thinking it was something to do with the anti-lock brakes (which I don't have) or some problem I lucked out on and didn't have.
My brakes have been and still are very smooth under light application, but lately I have been doing more highway driving and notice applying the brakes at highway speed, or on long steep downgrades where moderate pedal force is required, causes a groaning noise that increases with increased pedal force. Thinking back, this did happen a few times when the car was almost new and I put it down to road surface noise, which I now realize it was not.
Was any cause and solution offerred by Toyota?
Thnx for any info
