While driving down the freeway traffic started to slow. I applied pressure to the brakes but nothing happened. There was a loud clicking noise in the braking system and the car seemed to lurch forward. The car is now totaled. The same problem occurred a month before and my wife has experienced the problem as well.
On 7-4-2005. While driving about 35 mph at a 8 lane stop brakes were applied and they failed. No pressure was felt in the pedal, and the brake went to the floor. There were no warning lights on and no noise. There was almost an accident. Owner had the vehicle towed. There were no brakes all the way home. Owner drove very slowly, and used emergency brake to stop. Then the dealer called owner and reported no problems. Owner called Toyota, and they said there was nothing they could do. No other problems with vehicle before. Owner did want to take car back because it was not safe to drive.
While applying brakes, a small bump was hit and the brake pedal went to the floor. The vehicle eventually stopped, but without the assistance of power breaks. This has happened on several occasions, so far without a collision. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership several times and they have been unable to find the problem.
