Description of the problem	October 1999 - brakes light came on immediately called for insp. - service depart. Said my brakes needed cleaned and adjusted - topped off master cylinder - now it passed state insp. On 1/11/00. 2/29/00 brought back for noise coming from brakes - said there was no problem brakes needed cleaned & adjusted when i left service dept. Problem was still occuring - called set up another appt - 3/8/00 service dept found rear drums rusted - rear shoes cracked - a rent a car was given 3/7/00 returned it on 3/8/00 - they replaced rear brake drums and shoes - now could this happen in a few days on 2/29 you said no problem? 4/11/00 brought car back for insp due to same noise but now worse had service mgr now do a test run with me - service dept found front brake pads cracking and rotors scored left front axle shaft internal defect - front bearing internal problem - both front hubs need replaced - rent a car was given to me again. Now 6/00 noise is back on 7/14/00 took car for another under carrage insp, oil- filter change, 4 wheel alignment, etc.. They said no problem its just brake dust. The noise is still current as of today 7/23/00. I now have to call them & they already treat me with ignorance, i'm looking into filing for the lemon law i need some satisfaction - how could all of these problems be overlooked? - i feel my life is in the hands of toyota's service dept - and i don't feel safe at all. They gave me an extended warranty of 6 year or 100,000. 00 miles after i asked for it. I stated now that i have my reconstructed vehicle back would toyota grant me an extended warranty and stand behind there parts. They did but the stress and loss of work due to many service appts is so aggravating. Maybe my problem could be of use to you. If i could assist in any further questions please call - i still have to make another appt for my vehicle -i mean is it really brake dust this time or is the car going to fall apart at a high rate of speed with me in it? Thank you. *ak

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
