| Just over a year ago, the check vsc system warning started coming on intermittently in my vehicle. it would go off again after a couple of vehicle starts and stops over time. the dealership ran a diagnostic, said everything was fine, and sent me along my way. after a few months it progressed to the check vsc system, the red brake light, the little yellow triangle with the ! and the stability control icon on staying on all the time. after a few more months the hydraulic brakes would lose power when the vehicle would start and this would be accompanied by a loud, constant beep. it would last about a minute, power would return to the brakes. after a few more months the hydraulic brakes started losing power seemingly at random while i would be driving the vehicle. i can stop or decelerate, but i have to apply far more pressure to the brakes and my braking distance is greatly increased. it's a the dealership again now, and they are claiming that they have never seen this problem before and have no idea how to fix it. *tr | |||

| Car purchased new on 5/9/2007. only 30,800 miles & had the oil changed. the car was squeeling. mech. determined the left rear inside brake pad was almost gone!! front pads/rotors fine. this is a case of premature rear brake pad wear that toyota is aware of. they issued a tsb. there should be a recall & all work done should be completely free of charge!! now i have to pay $250.00 to have the entire rear brake system fixed=2 rotors turned, 4 disc brake pads, & labor. toyota is completely at fault. | |||
