Consumer Description

THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A EXPECTED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. BUT WHEN IT DID OCCUR, WE DID HAVE A CEL COME ONE AND LUCKILY, WIFE WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND DRIVING SLOWLY. THIS HAD BEEN MY WIFE/DAUGHTER'S MAIN MEANS OF MOVING AROUND. HAD THEY BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURIES WITH THE UNKNOWN SIGNS THAT THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL COMPLETELY. HAD TO HAVE THE DEALER ADDRESS AND REPAIR THE ISSUE. SEEMS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE NOTED ON SEVERAL WEBSITES WITH THIS MODEL AND THE TOYOTA EQUIVALENT LAND CRUISER. LOTS OF PEOPLE CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS POPULAR VEHICLE, AND IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED, WILL RESULT IN SOME INJURIES. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM TO PREVENT FURTHER OCCURRENCES.
