They agreed the rotors were warped and since it was at 35,000 miles they replaced all 4 rotors under warranty plus 2 new brake pads which i had to pay for. I noticed the same issue in late may of 2017 and called to ask about this. They said "we don't warranty warranty work" and suggested i called toyota headquarters. On june 21, 2017 i…

However as i got closer and closer to the slowed traffic ahead, i needed to press the brake harder and…

Dealer inspected it and couldn't find what the problem was. Then as instructed by toyota replaced the right front strut assembly but that didn't fix the problem. The car was returned to me and i was told there were no safety…

Clunking noise from rear end of vehicle when braking, dealer was authorized to change rear away bars and shocks, no fix, now toyota corp., says this is normal characteristic of vehicle ? I don't feel safe driving vehicle with noise, and as brakes feel soft also.
