1 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2018

About 1 year after I purchased my car brand new off of the lot I started to notice my brakes starting to rub and squeak. If I was going down hill the front of my car would shake. It was terrifying. I took it to the maita Toyota delarship in sacramento. They told me nothing is wrong my pads are still good. I begged them to fix them they replaced my front rotors and break pads. This dealership also performed a engine cleaning and multiple other things they said my car needed at that time running me 795$ this being on July 11th 2018. Then today sept 6th 2018. My starter is out my car no longer starts. When you turn the key all of the inside lights come on and all you hear is a clicking sound. Mind you I also had a chip in my windshield when I took my car in for inspection in July and they placed green check mark's on everything including my windshield being free from chips. I now question the integrity of this dealerships service department. Do they truly inspect and do the work on your car? because from where I am seeing this at sitting here with a year old car in my parking lot currently not driveable I begin to wonder if they do. I should not be having these types of problems with a 2017 Toyota car that was purchased brand new.

2 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 05/26/2018

I heard squeaking in my brakes at 10,000 miles my brakes were good at 12,000 they said a had 1% left on front brakes. I replaced front pads. I called my local dealer in northridge to complain. They kept on eye on brakes I was fine at 15,000 and at 20,000 miles I had 60% on my front pads. I took in this weekend for 25,000 service I was through to the rooters on the front. Toyota claims it is my driving. Though they tested it they fail to explain how I went critical in $5,000 miles. I have never owned a vehicle with such problems. Brakes are a huge safety issue and I believe that this is not isolated incident.

3 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 04/23/2018

Brake pads and rotors wore out before 10k miles on a brand new car. Replaced the front brakes because they were so worn out. That is unheard of. Definitely a safety hazard and a defect on the part/vehicle.

4 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2018

My brakes were inspected after owning my 2017 Rav4 for almost 5 months it needed its service because it had18k miles on it. They inspected the brakes and found everything to be in perfect condition, except they found a nail in the side wall of the tire. Fast forward about 2 months and my SUV is being repaired after a wreck and it was at the repair place a week before the woman calls and tells me my car is ready but when they were taking the car apart to fix the front passenger side the brake pad and rotor fell off the right aide and I now need to purchase new brake pads and rotors. My Rav4 has 23k miles and is 7 months old, not one noise was made before the accident only after. She also tells me it's not accident related. I'm now getting the run around from them all trying to get my car fixed. I went to the dealership where I bought it today and the guy over the service department said that doesn't happen so he was going to have to call the woman and see what all is going on because it shouldn't need new brakes and rotors.

Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Toyota rav-4. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal depressed all the way to the floor; the vehicle also does not brake in a timely manner.

6 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 01/27/2017

I purchased my 2017 rav 4 in July 2017 with 125 miles. At 6,000 miles my vehicle required new brake pads ( the pads were broken in half). Toyota of north hollywood agreed to replace the pads out of courtesy. They blamed it on the way I drive said total person at fault was me. My vehicle now has 34,000 miles this will be the fifth time my brake pads require changing. This is definitely not my driving. I believe the vehicle has a serious problem with the brake system. My vehicle has not been involved in accident.
