| Description of the problem | The brakes never appeared to be right on this car from day 1. They squeek when braking and there's nothing wrong with the pads, shoes or rotors, per several mechanics, including toyota certified mechanics. Got them cleaned but the problem recurs. If i hit the brakes too hard for an extended period of time, the car begins to shake until i let up on the brake. This happens at any time, on any roadway, while in motion. |
