I HAVE A 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID LE WHICH PURCHASED AS BRAND NEW. AFTER 2-3 MONTHS OF DRIVING, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND PARTICULARLY WHEN THE ROAD IS VERY FLAT IF THE CAR HITS ANY KIND OF POTHOLE OR BUMP, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT BREAKS (OR MAYBE THE CVT GEARS ENGAGING FOR REGENERATIVE BREAKING) AND SOMETIMES EVEN THE ABS LIGHT STARTS SHINING IN THE DASHBOARD. THIS IS NOT EASILY REPLICABLE BUT IT'S MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN BEHIND A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR IF THE BREAKS ARE APPLIED WITH HIGHER FORCE THIS ISSUE IS ALMOST ENTIRELY NOT PRESENT. ALSO, I'VE NOT NOTICED IT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNING, IT USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN ON A STRAIGHT AND FLAT ROAD AND SUDDENLY ONE OF THE TIRES GOES OFF BALANCE. *TR
