Consumer Description

WHILE BRAKING AGGRESSIVELY ON A DRY STREET IN A STRAIGHT LINE, THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN FOR A BRIEF SECOND AND THEN IT RELEASED THE BRAKES ALL TOGETHER - RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL BRAKING CAPABILITY. BRAKING CAPABILITY WAS RESTORED AFTER THE PEDALS WAS RELEASED ALL TOGETHER AND RE APPLIED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. ON 2017/10/13 I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR A COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM BY A TOYOTA AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THEY HAD NOT IDENTIFIED ANY FAULTS AND CLAIM THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING AS EXPECTED.
