Description of the problem | While driving at approximately 35 mph, i stepped on the brake to stop at a red light. The brake pedal went down to the floor and made a loud grinding sound. The dashboard flashed warning lights "brake" and a 2nd warning of "check brake system". I immediately pulled over and consulted the manual which said stop immediately and contact toyota dealer, which i did. I took the car in to auto nation in weston, fl (i was very close when this happened). By the time i reached the dealer the brake lights went out. They called later and informed me nothing was wrong. I asked them to recheck as i knew something was wrong since the brake did not function properly and made a terrible noise. They kept the car until the following morning to recheck the car, and again said nothing was wrong. They informed me the car didn't know it did anything wrong, my reply was that i knew the car did something wrong. (the service ticket reads: "performed health check, no problem found, no repairs performed") i am very reluctant to drive the car now. |
