Without warning, the brake, vsc, and traction control lights will all illuminate. After this happens and the brakes are applied, the abs makes a screeching sound , the brakes lock up and then are lost completely. Usually requires a rapid response of downshifting and/ or using the parking brake to avoid collisions. This problem happens every 6-10 times it is driven. Many times there are no warnings at all, the dash lights happens instantaneously with the brake failure. Sometimes restarting the vehicle will make a stop but it is no guarantee. This has been happening for over five years with no explainable cause from my mechanic.
Vehicle began shaking violently when braking downhill at around 60-65 mph. This started at 5000 miles on the vehicle. Toyota dealer said the rotors were warped. They said they machined the rotors as a "goodwill" gesture as brakes are not covered by warranty. Now at 16k miles and 6 months later the vehicle is shaking violently downhill when braking. Toyota dealer and corporate customer service say they feel the brake wear is normal and they said the vehicle requires a brake job. How would the brakes fail twice and the vehicle isn't even a year old yet? the braking shakes the whole vehicle so violently I am afraid I will lose control of the vehicle.
