Camry 2012+ :: 2015 - Press Harder On Brake To Keep Vehicle From Moving While Stopped At A Light
Three days ago while stopped at a light the car creeped forward forcing me to press harder on the brake to keep vehicle from moving.
Next day drove for 100+ miles with some stop and go traffic no problems. Third day drove 50 miles and upon arriving at home brakes felt spongy and nearly hit the floor the dash illuminated "Check Brake System".
My Camry has 5437 miles on it.
The dealer just called and said they need to replace a "brake booster". They said there is a TSB that addresses this issue in a VIN range.

I'm glad I was only stopping to pull into my drive way and not the freaking stop and go freeway traffic on the way to work in the morning.
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 - Engine Stays At Higher RPM When Press Slightly On Accelerator
When I press slightly on the accelerator just to get the truck moving and than let off the engine stays at the higher RPM typically just over a 1000. This only happens in drive not reverse and everytime I just slightly step on the accelerator. The truck only has 1K miles on it.

92 PA Base, 141,000 mls
Whenever I have to drive for more than 50 - 75 miles or for one hour at a constant speed, the engine causes the car to buck and loose acceleration. When I press the gas pedal down to the floor, the rpm's stay at zero or when I lightly press the gas pedal, it would accelerate but with noticeable hesitation and difficulty. I go from maintaining speeds of 70 miles down to 40 miles. It also feels like no fuel is getting to the engine. This causes me to pull over for a few minutes, shut the engine off, and then its okay to drive for a few more miles.
I replaced the fuel filter and the MAF sensor. When I changed the MAF, I noticed that the bottom portion of the old one where the little wires are, was broken. I really thought that was the issue but when I replaced it, it started doing the same thing. What should I check or replace next?
Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Buzz Like A Relay From The Center Of Dash When Lightly Press On Gas Pedal
I have a 2007 sonata limited with 54000 miles. When I lightly press on the gas pedal I hear a buzz like a relay from the center of the dash. It does not do it all the time. but It is getting very annoying. What could be wrong?
View 5 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Brake Noise On Lightly Depressing
Every time when lightly depressing the brake pedal there is a single click sound.
It doesn't not happen when releasing the pedal just when depressing it. It happens in all circumstances (i.e. with the car off, car on, stopped, moving, etc).
I thought it corresponded to the tail lights or the start button light because it happens right around when those lights turn on, but I was able to make it click without having either of those lights come on by depressing the pedal super slow.
I can't tell if its inside the car near the pedal or under the hood near the firewall... But it's right around that area. It seems louder at times then other times...usually quieter when car is moving (probably just drowned out by road noise)
Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Slight Hissing Sound When Lightly Press The Accelerator And Then Stops
I have a 2004 F150 4.6L... There is a slight hissing sound under the dash on the drivers side when you lightly press the accelerator and then stops. No matter what speed you are going as soon as you apply the accelerator it hisses then stops. There is also the same hissing , only louder when the engine is cut off. It hisses for about 3 seconds. What could be causing this. It has been idling rough since the hissing started. The check engine light is on and showing P0420 and P0430 codes . The cats were replaced with resonators so I believe that is the reason for the codes.

My car recently turned over 120,000 miles. I have owned her for 5 years. Currently, the engine temperature gauge needle is moving all over the place. It typically registers the correct temperature (I think), but sometimes it goes all the way over to the red, then peaks and falls back down to the midline.
Before this started happening, the needle would lie just below the midline when traveling on the highway and just above the midline when driving in town. Yesterday, it was lying between the 1/4 mark and the midline -- much lower than normal. Is this as simple as just replacing the temperature sensor?
My mechanic noticed a month ago that the transmission hoses are all swollen and in need of replacement. Is this related?One more thing, within the last week, the electrical system fails while driving, but just for a second. I can tell because the radio goes out. Once, it went completely dead, then came back on within 2 seconds. It made me think of the alternator, but it seems if that were the case it would go dead and not come back on, no?
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Light Thump About 1 Or 2 Seconds After Truck Starts Driving
I am having a strange issue with my truck. It is a f150 2009 xlt ext cab 4x4 5.4 liter
For the past 2 weeks I've had this light thump about 1 or 2 seconds after the truck starts driving,not really annoying but it kinda got me wondering
Since last week it makes a weird scraping noise from the rear end when coming to a stop (10-0 kmh) it doesn't do it all the time though
For a couple days now it makes this terrible squeaking/scratching/whatever(very loud) noise from the rear end when i accelerate from a dead stop, the one time when i crossed a highway, last night when i backed out of a parking spot (again not all the time).
Also when driving through a parking lot,hitting a few bumps and dips I can hear a rattling noise coming from underneath the truck.
Transfer case due for replacement? I don't know what this could be.....
Prius (2004-09) :: ICE Engine Stays On About 5 Seconds After Make The Complete Stop
I've been noticing on the 2006 I've purchased recently with 120k miles now, the MFD would show the ICE engine no longer is on and proving power when I cruise to a stop. However when I'm actually stopped, I noticed the ICE engine is still on, about 5 seconds after I make the complete stop, I then notice the ICE engine shut down. Although there are no DTCs on the car, this seems to baffle me on why it's happening. The mpg average on the car is lower than my other cars, it can be anywhere from low 40s to about 45mpg on the MFD. What could be causing this?

My car is currently on the road unlocked.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Car Sometimes Start Moving Unless Let Go Off The Brake
I've had this issue ever since I bought the car in May 2010 and the dealer wants me to leave the car for a few days without a loaner. So I've been postponing bringing it back. The problem is so random that I feel that after those few days, they won't be able to replicate and just return it back to me without a fix.
This problem happens at random, in all types of weather conditions, doesn't matter if I drove a mile or a hundred miles. Original brakes, all service to date done at the dealership (mostly oil changes). The ABS recall was performed before I purchased the car.
I park my car with the emergency brake ON and turn off the car. I come back a while later and start the car the normal way take the emergency brake OFF, press on the regular brake and HOLD the pedal, turn on the car, shift into D or R and then, the car will sometimes start moving unless I let go off the brake and press it again. Almost as if I wasn't pressing on the brake.
The only thing that I have always noticed is that when the car starts moving, if I try to press HARDER on the brake it actually doesn't do anything. In fact, it's HARD to press further down (almost as if I had it floored but it's not) so I have to let go and press again.
Prius (2004-09) :: Loud Buzzing Sound When Press Down Brake

I am looking to buy a 2012 Prius and I test drove it. Everything seems ok except each time I press the brake pedal there is a swoosh noise its as if air is being released from somewhere and I can easily hear it. Is this normal? the car is 95000 km on it. The dealer says it might be a normal hybrid noise. I currently have a 2007 Prius but that does not make this noise.

After a while, the car started again, and he was able to move it away to the side of the road...just about 2 meters and it stopped again.
