| Description of the problem | I went in to do the last free oil change i had with toyota and they came in and tell me they can't let me drive my car it is not safe as one brake pad is totally worn and the other isn't and shows normal wear and tear so i ask how that happens and they say the brake was stuck and pad wore out because i driving around with a brake on the left side of my car which was stuck down all the time which is why it wore at the time i brought it in it was not stuck this was my back brakes. One morning on the way to work i had to quickly go into the lane next to where i was driving because a woman who was on the phone came into the lane i was in i tried to slow down my car not to hit the person in front of me and the car was pulling toward the left which was the brake that was not working i was lucky i got control of car no accident. After being told i had a stuck brake what happened that morning made more sense to me. Toyota feels this is normal one brake pad totally worn the other showing normal wear a stuck brake that is not normal. That is a defect in that brake. I have written and email toyota spoken to someone in dealership they say this is normal. I was lucky it was only one brake that stuck. Toyota has to take ownership of the problem before someone gets hurt . |
