| Description of the problem | We'll this has been happening for several months. My whole dash is lit up with brake warnings and check vsc on my information panel. A loud solid beep comes and goes. It stays more than it's gone today. Basically from time to time my brakes just won't work properly. They are hard to push and it's almost as if it's pumping itself. Then , when the abs starts to work, there is a loud thud and a jerk that feels as if as if i am being rear ended. I never know when my brakes are going to work properly. Sometimes i have come close to hitting someone, running through red lights, because when they aren't working properly, the stop time is way longer. It is a very scary thing. I will be paying to have my car repaired next week. It is going to cost me 3500 dollars. Which 3300 is the part.. This part has been redesigned, that in itself speaks volumes as to weather or not toyota knows what is going on. I have also read that this part for this car is under investigation by the nhtsa. As of now my only hope is to recover my losses if there is a recall. There should be!!! This is very unsafe and not at all normal. |
