Consumer Description

FRONT BRAKES CAUSED VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAD PREPARED VEHICLE FOR LENGTHY HOLIDAY TRIP BY INSPECTING AND ROTATING TIRES, HAVING WHEEL ALIGNMENT, CHECKING BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, BLEEDING BRAKE LINES WITH NEW DOT3 BRAKE FLUID, ENGINE OIL CHANGE, COOLANT FLUSHED, ETC.... THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT, BUT DEFINITELY THE WORST. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. HOW DISAPPOINTING. I RECENTLY FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS. PEOPLE WILL DIE AS A RESULT OF THEIR RECKLESSNESS. DEFINITELY A TOYOTA PROBLEM DUE TO IMPROPERLY UNDERSIZED BRAKING SYSTEM. YOU MIGHT END UP BEING IN THE VEHICLE THAT ONE OF THESE SUVS REARENDS. *TR
