Consumer Description

ON APRIL 17, 2012 BAYSIDE TOYOTA REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL ON THE AVALON UNDER RECALL# 10V499000. ALMOST EXACTLY 3 YEARS LATER ON APRIL 18, 2015 THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL FAILED AS I WAS BACKING THE CAR OUT OF MY GARAGE. I WAS ABLE TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL SEAL NEVER FAILED AFTER 6 YEARS OF SERVICE IT WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE NEW SEAL FAILED AFTER 3 YEARS AND TOYOTA CLAIMS IT IS ONLY COVERED BY A 12 MONTH COMPONENT WARRANTY AND IS AN "INCONVENIENCE" BUT NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER BUT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. HAD I BEEN DRIVING THE CAR AT FULL SPEED THE RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I AM HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED AT MY OWN COST BUT I HAVE NO FAITH THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS SAFE. *TR
