Toyota Rav4 Service Brakes Safety Report | Jan 20, 2014
Reported on Jan 20, 2014
| I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP AT THE END OF MY STREET, NOTHING HAPPENED, MY FOOT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE ONLY THING I COULD THINK OF DOING WAS TO TURN THE VEH OFF AND COAST TO A STOP IT WORKED AFTER ABOUT 50 FEET, AFTER I STOPPED SHAKING I DROVE HOME EVEN SLOWER THAN BEFORE AND WHEN I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE BRAKES AGAIN DID NOT STOP, BUT THE PEDAL DID NOT GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, I TURNED OFF THE KEY AGAIN AND COASTED TO A STOP. I HAD JUST HAD THE FRONT BRAKES FIXED AT THE TOYOTA DEALER BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED IT, THE VEH WAS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OLD. I QUESTIONED WHEY THEY HAD GONE OUT SO FAST I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WAY I DRIVE. IF THIS IS THE CASE I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES ON ALL MY VEH WITHIN 2 YEARS I NEVER HAVE, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE RAV4. | |
