| Description of the problem | Brakes became "soft" with vibration in pedal and complete loss of acceleration power. Upon review-saw this is a common complaint that is not being resolved by toyota. They recalled their 2003 product with the same problem. Folks go to toyota to have problem fixed - only to have same problem within months and some folks have paid upwards of $3000. 00 and the problem is not resolved. There are thousand of complaints with this problem if you will monitor toyotas complaint data base and many other forums. Will a family have to be gravely injured before action is taken? |
