NHTSA Complaint #10439940 — 2007 TOYOTA RAV4

I HAVE HAD MY RAV4 SINCE OCT. 2007, BOUGHT IT NEW AND 2 1/2 YEARS AFTER OWNING IT I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES IN JUNE 2010. I JUST PURCHASED NEW TIRES FOR MY RAV4 AND HAD THEM PUT ON IN NOV. 2011 AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED BRAKES AGAIN. NOW FROM JUNE 2010 TO NOV. 2011 I SHOULD STILL HAVE A LOT OF BRAKE LEFT INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REPLACE THEM. IF THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY RAV4 I WILL TRADE IT IN AND BUY A NISSAN SUV INSTEAD. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO CHANGE MY BRAKES EVERY 1 1/2 YEARS ON MY VEHICLE. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS WAS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD'VE BOUGHT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVE MY CAR BUT I FEEL THAT I SHOULD GET MORE WEAR AND TEAR FROM MY BRAKES THAN A 1 1/2 YEARS. MAYBE THE TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD CHECK THE MATERIAL THE BRAKES WAS MADE FROM TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT DEFECTIVE. *TR
