Tl* the contact owns a 2015 toyota highlander. While driving at 5 MPH, the brakes failed without warning. As a result, the contact crashed into the rear end of another vehicle.

The vehicle was taken to be diagnosed, but the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 10,500. The VIN was unavailable.
Popping sound coming from right front side when breaking to a stop at all speeds. The problem was first noticed at around 2500 miles and the car was taken to the dealer at around 2900 miles. Dealer inspected it and couldn't find what the problem was. Then as instructed by toyota replaced the right front strut assembly but that didn't fix the problem.
