Description of the problem	My rav4 started giving me brake problems within 5 months, about 5,500 miles. I took it over to the dealership where i bought the rav4. They said the rotors had to be cut, so they cut them and put new brakes on them. The problem started again in less than a month. I drive a lot in the highway, so i put some miles in the rav4. I took it to the dealership where i bought it again, again and again because they kept on making noise and i was afraid the rav4 wouldn't stop when i put on the brakes. After the 3rd try because the brakes were still making noise and they weren't stopping correctly and the people at the dealership looked at me like i was crazy. They said the car was safe to drive. I changed to another toyota dealership. At this dealership, first they said nothing was wrong, but they took a ride with me in the rav4 and realized what i said. They put new front rotors and new front brakes. When i went to get the rav4, i told them the noise was still there. They said to try it out for at least 500 miles before they put the rear rotors. That was at 18,000 miles. At 19,000 miles i took it back because the noise was still there. They put the rear rotors and brakes. Now, after five months and 8,000 miles it started all over again. This time, the lights are turning on for brakes, 4wd, abs, vsc are turning on. I took it back to the dealership and they said the front brakes are completed gone and the rotors need to be cut. I complaint because it was only 8,000 more and they were used in the turnpike. They said the lights went on because the brake fluid went very low. I still had to pay to put on my brakes and cut the rotors. The following day, the lights of brakes, 4wd, abs, vsc turned on again. I am afraid of driving the rav4 and it won't stop in time and there is an accident. *jb
