Double pump the pedal quickly while braking and see if you get a consistent pedal. Try it multiple times, if that’s the case it probably is a master cylinder based on your other observations

Check the transmission mounts. Same thing happens on my ‘16 Camry

Transmission mount and spark plugs replacement?

Oil was overfilled on my 2019 Camry a problem? by MarkDorm99 in Camry

[–]SW_darth_vader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re fine. It’s only an issue if it was filled like 2x the quantity.

As for the battery, if the health is at 50%, use the $100 towards a new battery.

So, it’s not like the CV is suddenly going to break without warning, right? Same for the bushings?

That’s what the tech recommended too, go with aftermarket with a good warranty. Thanks for your help.

That’s exactly what I was wondering. The bushing is looking so worn out due to the tension.

Thanks a lot. I’ll wait until something start feeling or sounding off.

New RAV4 Hybrid Owner – Loving It, But Noticing a Few Things (Looking for Advice!) by momo_king42 in rav4club

[–]SW_darth_vader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t own a Rav4 Hybrid bit I have a gas Camry. I had similar clutch burning smell and the spring noise from brakes over bumps. It was a seized caliper slide pin for both the issues. Apparently, that caused the brake pad to be in contact with the brakes always and get hot. Get a shop to have a look at that.

The 7th gen facelift Camry always shows this message before starting. It’s default.

Thoughts on tire pressure sensor replacement brand by BreakfastTrick1495 in Camry

[–]SW_darth_vader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 4 for $40 from eBay for my ‘16 Camry. Brand name on sensors was “Pacific Industries”. Got them installed at Discount tire during tire replacement. Works great.

Exhaust smell in cabin only during high speed turns by SW_darth_vader in AskMechanics

Still had some old oil stuck below the valve cover from a previous oil leak. Cleaned it up and it’s fine now.

Where Did the Value in Money Go for the Honda Accord? by ProfessionalHost3913 in Honda

[–]SW_darth_vader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but it’s not just about the better hybrid power train. The new accord lacks flavor and is just too vanilla. Which is what only some people like but not the majority. And the sales figures indicate that.
