Toyota Highlander Hybrid 2007. The brakes had a complete failure. I was driving on ice, hit the brakes, and the brake calipers did nothing. I drove straight into a vehicle in front of me and forced another one to hit me.

Failure of 2006 Highlander Hybrid brakes to maintain consistent resistance to forward motion. This failure occurs repeatedly and causes much anxiety and heart palpitation upon occurrence. This failure was brought to the attention of our local dealer and they claimed to not have any indications of the problem. I also brought them copies of numerous reports which read the same and indicated extremely similar conditions. 11/22/2006 reported to local dealer brake concerns. Their notes were:inter. Cond. More pronounced during 1st few applications in the morning. C/s pedal seems to "fade" & engine has a slight surge when braking. Customer has left vehicle for the day & overnight if necessary to duplicate concern. Results: road tested 3 times. Concern could not be duplicated. Brake calipers & hardware functioning properly at this time. No repairs made at this time. What I actually told them was that the vehicle surged forward when the brakes seemed to fail . 10/02/07 brake concerns- per previous advise, replace front pads, resurface rotors removed and replaced front pads and resurfaced rotors. Charge 235. 04. Talked to service manager about brake concerns. Talked to my salesman about brake concerns, talked to dealer manager about brake concerns. Reported on most service surveys and in person to survey callers. Ironically, dealer suggests front brake pads should be replaced now again. Toyota has never contacted me back after any of my reports to them. Only the local service manager ever called me back about this problem and he afforded no remedy.
