Problems with brake equipment on 2001 Toyota Avalon while driving at 45 mph. When the consumer applied light pressure to the brakes, there was a thump sound.

Brakes take too long to stop before abs kicks in. Pedal goes almost to the floor. Front end has a grabbing feeling when the brakes are applied. Consumer has been with service technician, and it was documented as okay.

Rack and pinion steering needed to be replaced/ leaking oil, and front strut support had to be repaired. Vehicle was rattling constantly from time of purchase. Also, had a brake problem.

Brake pedal proceeds all the way to floor when pressed at standstill.

I was following my wife out of the subdivision to work at approximately 06:40. I went through 3 stop signs with no apparent problems breaking. When my wife stopped at the 4th sign, my break peddle went to the floor and I hit her rear end at approximately 5 mph. There scratches and dents in both bumpers. I crept back home at 5 mph and attempted to stop at all three stop signs. The car stopped slowly, but the break peddle went to the floor each time. I had the car towed back to the dealer for inspection. A Toyota factor representative examined the car on September 19, 2000. I recieved a call from Toyota today and was told that there was nothing wrong with my car. This is the biggest bunch of bull since firestone said they make good tires. I talked to the owner of the Toyota dealership and told him that I had lost cofindence in the car and Toyota, and wanted my money back. He said that because there was an "alleged" break failure there was nothing he could do about it. My only recourse was to the better business bureau and the texas department of motor vehicles (administers the texas lemon law). I will persue these avenues of recourse, but also want to file a complaint with the NHTSA. I believe that Toyota's lawyers have control of this situation, and there is no way they will admit that their produce is faulty. Does the nhysa have any other reports of break failures on new Toyota Avalon's? I appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thanks mike vorndam.

Power steering prematurely stiffens, and consumer can feel grabbing at the front end for a short time. Steering wheel will vibrate at speeds 50 and over. Dealer says abs could be the cause.

When driving at city speed and applying the brakes the abs system is working intermittently.

Brakes are noisy and not working properly.

Abs brake system is inadequate for vehicle, brake fading. Yh.

Vehicle hydroplanes on the slightest wet pavement. Also pulls to the left or right due to wrong tires on vehicle. Toyota refuses to replace the bridgestone tires with an alternate make designed for this vehicle. Also abs brakes engaged many times due to the sliding.

While applying brakes heard a loud popping niose. Dealer has been contacted. Does not have a solution at this time. Please provide further information.
