Description of the problem	I own a 2006 scion xa. I have owned the vehicle since new bought oct 2005. My car has an inconsistent braking system. The brakes feels as if they have a gap of air that prevents them from stopping the car and the pedal jerks beneath my foot. I live in boston and the failure appears more often in cold and slush/snow conditions. The brakes are frightening because they have failed at several pedestrian crosswalks and under "needed" or accident prevention circumstances. I had the brakes checked at the local woburn toyota dealer and was told they were fine. Upon a second maintenance service the same toyota dealer told me it was due to "hot spots". I complained to toyota because the vehicle was under factory warranty. Even though the vehicle at the time has less than 20k miles, they stated that it was my fault. I argued my point on the phone with no response. I filed an e-mail complaint through toyotas customer survey and then for safety reasons and concern of the well being of my children and myself, i did as suggested by the dealer and replaced the rotors and brake pads. By the next winter of 2008 my vehicle braking systems heartbreakingly enough had the exact same brake system failure. This has been a continued problem since owning this vehicle. The date listed below is the most recent incident however there have been no less than 20 other occurrences. I will always try to test my brakes to make sure they are still working before leaving my driveway in bad weather conditions.
