| Description of the problem | I applied brakes, all the warning lights came on and the car would not brake. I pressed the brake pedal as hard as i could an finally came to a stop. I got the car to walnut creek toyota, california. They charged $150 and said there was nothing wrong... Bring it in if it happens again (they failed to notify me that there were several other instances reported).. 5-12-14. Same thing happened as i came down a freeway offramp. It took all my strength to stop the car just inches from another car. Walnut creek toyota said nothing wrong and their regional toyota technical team said the same... Neither of them mentioned the numerous complains to the nhtsa. I could have been killed, or killed another driver. These cars should have been recalled and compensation to the owners... I wasn't going to drive , i was forced into "trading" it in for a not so great deal!! |
