Description of the problem	I have had this vehicle for 18,000 miles now and i have noticed serious issues with the braking system. When i apply the brakes, i have to (almost) completely floor the brake pedal in order for the car to stop. I had a 2015 honda cr-v for three years and it never had any issues like that. In other words, the brake pedal is too soft compared to similar vehicles. This is especially problematic for shorter drivers (like my mother) because she has small feet and she needs to lift her entire foot to transition between the gas/brake pedals, putting her at a slight disadvantage. I contacted the toyota dealership regarding this issue, but they told me that it was normal and couldn't do anything major about it. This is a major safety hazard. I almost ran into a deer one night on a local road because i couldn't stop the car on time. Highway braking is also difficult, so i have to maintain extra distance. However, when using dynamic cruise control, the car is able to successfully brake in accordance to the vehicle travelling ahead of me.
