| Description of the problem | When applying the brake pedal the car produces a chirping / crunch noise and it slips a tad. This happens when the car is on or off, moving or stopped. On a recent service visit, the dealer said that it's likely the brake actuator and to just drive with it until it produces an error code. Online, i read that toyota had created an "extended warranty for this issue, but would only fix it if it produced an error code. That "extended warranty" is now passed and my car still hasn't produced the code. This has got to be a safety issue. |
