When braking at freeway speeds (anything above 60) the car vibrates, most apparent in brake pedal and severe vibration in the steering wheel. First started happening when the car was still under warranty, but after several months with this problem, warranty had expired. Looked on the internet and came to determination that front brake rotors were prematurely warped - someone else with Fj Cruiser had the same issue. Vibration worsens with higher speed conditions. Could lead someone to lose control of car or hit something in emergency braking condition. Took my car in for recall on seat-belt and had the dealer look at the brakes too. Dealer indicated that sufficient brake pads existed at both front and back, but front rotors were warped. I had front brake job (replace pads and machine rotors) at a cost of $249. 77. In my opinion, this is a serious safety issue and should be corrected by Toyota motor company at their expense.
