Description of the problem	On sunday, july 25, 2004, i was pulling from a driveway to a tar road and when applying my brakes the vehicle did not slow down and made a very loud ticking noise in the rear of the car. I assumed it was my abs system making the noise. I was not going more than 2 miles an hour and was able to just accelerate and go on my way. I used the brakes in my vehicle at least 5-10 times on my way home. I pulled in my driveway and parked my vehicle. Approximately 6 hours later, my husband got into the vehicle to move it in the driveway about 10 yards forward. I was in the house. In the house i heard that very same ticking noise and then a loud noise and i knew that my husband had crashed my car. The brake pedal went right to the floor and the car smashed thru our garage. I got into the vehicle and pressed the brake pedal and it again went right to the floor. I called my toyota dealership the next morning and they agreed to come pick it up. Before the car left the yard my father in -law came over and watched the brake pedal go to the floor. Toyota can find nothing wrong with my vehicle and want me to take it back and drive it. I will not drive that vehicle unless they can tell me what happened. I have 4 other witnesses who heard the ticking noise in the car before it hit our garage. There is something wrong and i need some help. I have asked toyotaa for another vehicle and they refuse. My car has 4000 miles on it. I believe it is unsafe and could pose danger to other owners.*ak
