2005 Toyota HIGHLANDER Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	888243
Internal NHTSA #	10432197

File date	03/10/11
Component	SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Brakes made metal/metal grinding noise. Found rear brake rotors badly corroded. Approx. 30% of both rotors functional. Seventy percent caked with thick rust. Driver's side rear caliper slider pin stuck. Front brakes did most of work, therefore pads are prematurely worn. In decades of driving, i've never had brake work before 80,000 miles. Car is used almost daily and always garaged. Rotor castings are defective and should have been recalled. Brakes have been inspected by toyota dealer every 6 months. No problems were reported, but corrosion is severe, thick with flaking. I have dealer service records and photos to support my safety concerns. Toyota recalled 130,000 vehicles in china because of a defect in the rear wheel disk brakes which could possibly rust. Perhaps some of these rotors found their way on to our highlander. My family and i have been driving an accident waiting to happen. Thankfully, no emergency stops have been required. How many other highlanders have corroded, unsafe, brake rotors?
