Description of the problem | Brakes failed while driving without warning, i suddenly had no power braking and had to stomp on the brakes to avoid a collision. Car has only 44,000 miles and been driven 29 months. At the dealer they said it was a failed brake booster and would cost over $3000 to repair. The car has been well maintained. I am lucky nobody was harmed but this is a major safety failure on a car that is supposed to be very safe and reliable, and a ridiculously expensive repair in addition. After i complained they wrote off 80% but still cost $600 out of my pocket to replace a defective toyota brake system. |
