Description of the problem	When you start to drive it makes a loud howling sound, it is getting louder as time goes on. People look at us like we are crazy for driving with bad brakes. We have had it in to the dealer many times to just be told it is the way it is. No repair is necessary. It is getting more and more annoying to listen to. It lasts longer as time goes on. Come on toyota lets get this taken care of before there is a fatal collision due to this! It is getting scary to drive and feel safe.
