Consumer Description

WHILE IN MOTION, BRAKES STARTED PULSATING AND "CLICKING", THEN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL GOT VERY FIRM AND HAD DIFFICULTY STOPPING, ALMOST RESULTING IN ACCIDENT. TOYOTA HAS RELEASED WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY, BUT MY VEHICLE IS JUST BEYOND THE 10YR/150K MILE PERIOD. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER AND NHTSA SHOULD HAVE WORKED WITH TOYOTA ON A SAFETY RECALL REMEDY. IF BRAKES FAIL, THE CONSUMERS WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 60K MILES AND THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT!
