| Description of the problem | We have a 2007 rav 4 toyota. We could have been killed when we had a booster blow out while we were driving 100 miles from home. This booster is needed to operate the brakes. We did make it back to the service center using the emergency brake but it was dangerous driving without brakes. When the computer put a warning that the brakes were out, all we got was a swerve line... Nothing that warned that the booster had gone. *jb |
