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.
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.
Front rotors caused the front end and steering wheel to vibrate terribly when driving the speed limit of 70 mph when you just touch the brake peddle. the rav 4 2017 only has 14,900 miles. i brought rav 4 to dealer for normal 15,000 mile maintenance. i was told the rotor need to be resurfaced... for $180.00....called it "normal wear and tear" it appears that in colorado or mountain areas that rotor normally need to be resurfaced. the rava 4 front end shook violently almost lost control of steering the rava 4 at 70 mph. then dealer said oh that is normal, we have to resurface rotors of rav 4 (2017) in this area all the time. on may 16, 2018 i called 800-331-4331 toyota us head quarters and spoke to customer service rep. case # 1805162014 and he said he would call the autonation toyota service manager on arapahoe in colorado and get back to me in a few days. well on may 31, 2018 customer service from toyota called me after i spoke with on may 30, 2018 to andrea, explaining the situation. the offical response was oh that is just normal wear and tear for rav 4 2017 rotors...it is your cost if a recall is issued on the rotors you will be notified! the rest of the story, i took a trip from denver, co to phoenix, az may 3, 2018. i had approx 13,000 on the rav 4., which requires driving down hill from flagstaff, az ...approx. 120 miles. that mountain driving resulted in the rav 4 braking to cause the severe shake of the steering wheel and almost loosing control of rav 4 at 70 mph. the cruise control slows the car down as you approach other slower vehicles and if you just touch the brake peddle the rav 4 wants to shake the rav 4 apart! you loose total contol of rav 4 if leave foot on brake peddle.. toyota says that is just normal wear and tear ... well at speed limit on inter state ..these rotors can cause to high speed accident!!!
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.
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 rav4. while driving various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the pedal traveled all the way to the floorboard. the contact stated that the vehicle did not brake in a timely manner. there were no warning indicators illuminated. while driving 30 or 50 mph, the rpms abruptly increased without warning, which caused the vehicle to jerk and shake uncontrollably. the contact took the vehicle to hudson toyota (599 nj-440, jersey city, nj 07305, 201-713-5508) and paid to have the vehicle diagnosed. the dealer informed him that the front brake pads needed to be replaced and the rear brake pads needed to be cleaned. the vehicle was repaired, but the failures continued. the contact took the vehicle to route 22 toyota (109 us-22, hillside, nj 07205, 973-287-4741) where they did not honor his extended warranty and attempted to charge $250 for a diagnostic. the manufacturer was notified and provided a case number. the failure mileage was approximately 17,500.*bf contact stated engine control was replaced and transmission failure was repaired.*jb
I started it and noticed immediately something was wrong. vehicle started moving and i tried to apply brake. brake was hard initially and vehicle continued moving. then i was able to depress the brake pedal all the way but it kept moving. with my daughter in the car i got panic. i switched to p and vehicle kept going, though slowly on the street. then i turned power off and removed the key. at this point all dash boards lights were on and it was making a loud, wired noise. it lasted several seconds and vehicle kept moving during this time. finally it came to a stop in the middle of the street. the vehicle has only 4200 miles. the scary thing is, brake failed for no reason and all dash board lights were on even after the key was removed.
I got this car brand new. within the 17,000 miles i have put on it, it has had to have the same {only one brake) brake replaced three separate times. the other 3 brakes are like new. also, just last week, on the highway, with the newest brake replacement recently completed, the entire brake system failed to work, and when i depressed the brakes, they did depress, but i could not slow down. this was terrifying, and on the freeway, it could have cost me my life. i have been advised that this is a manufacturing malfunction, and no amount of brake replacement will fix the problem. i have been advised to demand a new vehicle that is safe.

Cracking disc after driving on heavy traffic terrible noise on disc. i took the car to the dealer but they told me they can't make any changes because the disc is okay and the disc is crystallized and they didn't do anything.
Purchased my new rav4 on 12/2017. on 8/13/2017 i was at a drive through and stopped at the end of the line and the service brake when i pressed the peddle the brake was firm and stopped correctly. the line moved and i lifted my foot off of the service brake and the line stopped and i applied the service brake peddle and had to press the peddle further than i pressed the peddle the first time i stopped in the line. while stopped in the line the second time the rav4 started to roll forward and i had to press the service brake even further to get the rav4 stop. the line moved forward and i lifted my foot off of the service brake peddle and the line stopped and when i pressed the service brake peddle the service brake peddle went to the floor and did not slow until i struck the vehicle in front of me. after the accident my service brake peddle was very spongy and slow to respond when pressing the service brake peddle. i took my rav4 on 8/14/2017 to local dealership to have my service brakes checked. when i took the rav4 in i did not have any paper work to sign. the afternoon the service advisor said my rav4 was ready. when i went to get my rav4 the service advisor said no codes and did not give me any paper work and i did not sign any paper work. when i got in to drive the rav4 away my service brake peddle was firm not spongy and responded quickly as very little movement to press the service brake peddle to stop the rav4. my service on the toyota web site service has never reported the service even today. i called the toyota and told them of this situation and the toyota representative told me to bring my rav4 back to the dealership on 8/24/2017 and he would download the event recorder and did on 8/31/2017. no issues was reported on the event recorder. letter showed no reference that i had my service brakes checked on 8/14/2017. service brake is spongy while stopped now.
Breaks failed when backing out of parking space and failed immediately again when trying to pull back into parking space after car hit a car and then hit a cart corral pushing that into another car. as a result 3 cars including ours were damaged.

As i was approaching the mail box area in my apartment complex at approximately 15 mph, i put my foot on the brake to turn into the parking area in front of the four metal mailboxes and put the vehicle in "park" when the vehicle suddenly lurched forward and jumped the six-inch, brick-paver curb. i crashed into the mailbox structure, completely uplifting the base that was bolted into the concrete and hit a wood trash container holder. i depressed the brake pedal harder but my vehicle would not slow down or stop and i also could not control the steering. i continued up a hill (at 45-50 mph) consisting of tall grass, wildflowers, rocks, etc., across a walking path of woodchips and mulch, then down the hill (still with my foot on the brake) grazing the branches and leaves of a small tree before coming off the six-inch curb and back onto the street, where i hit a light post. i managed to lift the parking brake, slam on the brake again and the vehicle rolled to a stop. it should be noted that none of the airbags deployed.

I have had this car in several times for brake noises and rotated warping. currently the car has 35,xxx. every 5-7k the rotars or pads are replaced. there is usually a noise that is associated with this and a duplicate video was found on youtube and turned out to be a master cylinder and was advised that it is not that but i have second thoughts. brakes are a major part of the vehicle and there have been several times i thought about towing the vehicle to the dealer. but they claim that the noises are normal and are just the pads shifting, i have had my share far of cars and driven many different brands and never had this issue even with my prior toyota's. second complaint is in regards to my locks. there are times the locks on the vehicle will not lock or constantly makes noise while trying to lock/unlock and the dealer claims they can not reproduce the noise but the second i step in the car it makes the noise.
I was driving and taking a turn and as i applied the brakes the car did not slow down result in a minor accident. *tr
