What owners wrote
While driving 35MPH down a hill, had applied brakes, and vehicle failed to slow down. Vehicle jumped the sidewalk, and hit a cement wall. Driver suffered injuries.
Front disk brake rotor broke where it mounts to steel wheel resulting in the loss of braking action on that wheel. Upon taking to local toyota dealer, front disk rotor was removed and showed stress fractures and separation from rotor assembly. This 2001 vehicle is equipped with steel wheels which toyota did a recall on in 2000. The front disk rotors were original equipment and had never been machined.
