| Description of the problem | Parking brake light came on first, all of the sudden all the lights on the dashboard came on. When i tried to brake to pull over, the brakes would not work. I had to push in on the brakes even harder. When i turned off the car, started it back up all lights were off. The car brakes were working once more. Took the car to temecula dealership. Dealership said nothing was wrong, charged $1,500 for maintenance. Two months later, after driving my car through the mountains every weekend, the brakes repeat the previous incident. The brakes would not work as i was approaching an intersection. The dealership stated there never was a problem with the brakes before the december incident. I spoke with the manager of the dealership regarding both incidents to no avail. Unfortunately, the toyota people had no regard for my safety. I was allowed to drive the car for two months after i took the car in for repairs. On december 11, 2013 the brake problem was discover. We would be charge $3,000 dollars for brake repairs. We would have to have pay a total of $4,500. I have been a toyota customer for thirty years. I will never buy toyota again. Total disregard for customer safety, it's all about $$$. |
