Description of the problem	I was driving my brand new (3 weeks after i bought it) toyota highlander v6 in a secondary down hill road when the brake system failed completely and the car started to accelerate downhill. Not being able to control it i ignored the "full stop" sign at the end of the secondary road and i continued in a flat main road where cars normally speed until i was able to put the shift into park and finally the car stopped with a lurch. The life of my son and mine were seriously endangered. The car was towed by the dealer and it is still there after they have replaced at least 2 parts so far. We paid almost $32 000 for a brand new defect free car but insetad they are going to give us the same car which is now undergoing major repairs. *tt
