What owners wrote
Brakes became "soft" with vibration in pedal and complete loss of acceleration power. Upon review-saw this is a common complaint that is not being resolved by toyota. They recalled their 2003 product with the same problem. Folks go to toyota to have problem fixed - only to have same problem within months and some folks have paid upwards of $3000.00 and the problem is not resolved.
