| Description of the problem | I have toyota highlander 2008 from aug 2008. This car has a problem with braking. First winter it was unsafe to park car on shopping parking, because of close proximity to other cars. Highlander was not stopping, it continued moving with my leg on the brake pedal. This car was not slowing down. I drove many different suvs from rental companies, like chevy trail blazer, gmc acadia, jeep two different models, but never had any problems with brakes. I went to the dealership three times and each time they told me they cannot do anything. I'm used to this car now, but braking still not good. It requires deep pressure on the pedal and car is stopping longer. |
