What owners wrote
ABS locked up when I tapped on car seemed to accelerate making the car skid and fish tail sending me 4 lanes across the freeway into the cement barrier totaling my car.
Numerous revisions to the part number for brake pads. Toyota is saying that the owner has to eat the cost of their mistake that they can't seem to get right by purchasing the new pads, shims, and other components that go with it. If toyota sold the cars with the wrong size pads then toyota should eat the cost. I have been to the mechanics 6 times in as many months and my brakes are still messed up.
