SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING AND STOPPING, ALL THE ENGINE LIGHTS AND "CHECK VSC" CAME ON AND IT APPEARED THAT MY BRAKES FAILED. IT WAS AS IF MY CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF; HOWEVER, IT WAS STILL ON AND I HAD MANUAL BRAKES THAT I HAD TO PUSH VERY HARD TO USE. THIS IS INTERMITTENT AND HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 6 TIMES IN TOTAL. IT HAS BEEN SERVICED 3 TIMES REGARDING THIS INCIDENT, ONE OF WHICH THEY JUST LET ME GO AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. THE LAST TIME THEY DETERMINED THEY "THINK" IT IS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH ON LINE, IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS THE PART HAS BEEN FAULTY FOR SOME TIME AND I WAS UNAWARE OF IT. IT HAS BEEN MAKING NOISES FOR SEVERAL YEARS THAT I THOUGHT WERE NORMAL; BUT I GUESS THEY WERE NOT. I BELIEVE MINE HAS TAKEN SO LONG TO FINALLY FAIL BECAUSE MOST OF THE LIFE OF THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY WITH LITTLE BREAKING. WHILE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A PART THAT 1) SHOULDN'T BE FAILING AT THIS JUNCTURE AND 2) HAS APPARENTLY BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING WHILE MY CAR WAS IN WARRANTY. IT'S LIKE A HEART ATTACK...YOU DON'T KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM UNTIL THE FAILURE OCCURS. I'VE ALMOST CRASHED INTO PEOPLE AND I'VE READ OTHER ACCOUNTS WHERE THEY HAVE. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THESE PARTS! NOTE I'VE ALSO RECEIVED SERVICE FAITHFULLY DURING THE LIFE OF THE CAR. *TR
