Vehicle rolled backwards in reverse while brake pedal was pressed all the way down. Claim was filed with Toyota. After two months, they have said it is a non-issue.
Front Brake Squeal/Squaek Noise when light or moderate braking. Started around 10000 miles.
While trying to stop on red light, I noticed break did not have enough strength and it was skidding a for second and break suspended message appeared on dash board. I went to Toyota dealership and they said if they can't replicate the problem, fee of $225 need to be charged. And I need to drive with them and due to time constraint, I had to return. I also mentioned about Toyota's voluntary recall on break which I found on Google but as I have not received any notice from them, I am not qualified.
I was pulling into a parking space at work and went to break to park and my car accelerated up a hill. After I released my foot from the break,and tried pumping the break the car eventually decelerated and I was able to come down off the hill to park. I had damage to the passenger corner panel and had to file and insurance claim for repairs. I called the dealership and they said they had not heard of any type of issues with breaks on this model and to file an insurance claim and they would inspect the vehicle for default.
