The reason for the vibration when stepping on the brake in D gear for Camry is due to brake pad or brake disc failure. When the vehicle brakes, the components will stop working in the shortest time, and the intermediate buffer point will cause some vibration. Additionally, after prolonged use, the brake pads wear out, leading to slower response. The Camry has a length, width, and height of 4885mm, 1840mm, and 1455mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2825mm, and the drive mode is front-wheel drive. The Camry is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. This engine has a maximum power of 131kW and a maximum torque of 210Nm.
As a guy with years of car repair experience, I've encountered many Camry issues like this. Shaking when stepping on the brake in D gear mainly stems from aging or hardening of the engine mounts. These parts are supposed to absorb engine vibrations, but when they fail, idle vibrations transmit to the car body. Another common cause is unstable torque converter lock-up in the transmission, leading to uneven power delivery. Sometimes, carbon buildup in the idle system or a dirty air filter can also worsen the shaking. I recommend first checking the softness and hardness of the engine mounts for any cracks. If there's no shaking when stepping on the brake in N gear, it likely points to a torque converter issue. Don't delay too long, as prolonged shaking can damage other components like the driveshaft, making repairs more expensive. Replacing these parts during regular maintenance can save a lot of trouble.
