Consumer Description

THIS ALL STARTED DECEMBER 16, 2013, WHEN I LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AND MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE ROAD. I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND AIR MASS FLOW SENSOR REPLACED. PICKED THE CAR UP DROVE IT HOME AND SHE STILL FELT A LITTLE SLUGGISH BUT I FIGURED THE CAR WAS COLD. WENT TO HAVE IT INSPECTED THE NEXT DAY AND MY BRAKES WERE LOCKED! HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP AND HE REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AGAIN. PICKEDT IT UP DROVE IT HOME AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AT 60 MPH AGAIN I FIGURED IT WAS COLD AND MADE IT HOME. NEXT DAY DROVE IT TO WORK, THE CAR WENT TO 50, 40, AND THEN 30 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN THAT! I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP AND MY MECHANIC DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2006 AND 2007 MODELS. IT STARTS WITH THE BRAKED CYLINDER AND AS LONG AS THE BRAKES DON?T GET HOT IT RUNS FINE. ONCE THEY GET HOT THE BRAKES APPLIES ITSELF WHICH FORCES YOUR CAR TO SLOW DOWN! THIS IS SO DANGEROUS! YOU BASICALLY HAVE TO REPLACE YOU ENTIRE BRAKE LINE AND OR CHECK ALL THE HOSES, BRAKE BOOSTER EXT. UNTIL YOU CAN PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. IS TOYOTA DOING A RECALL ON THIS? *TR
