| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a new 2001 toyota sequoia. the brake pads and rotors had to be replaced at 5,000. i now have 15,000 mi and both again have to be replaced because the car shivers when braking on a hill or suddenly. i have the extra care warranty (6 years, 100,000 miles), but the toyota dealer is saying it will occur again and that they cannot do anything about it, nor cover it again under warranty. i drive this car very carefully. i have kids and cannot afford to be braking hard all the time. brake problems in a busy, trafficky city like l.a. can be dangeroous. this is also a new car and seems like a manufacturing defect. i just wanted you to be aware of the problem in case other sequoia owners are experiencing the same problems. thank you.*ak |
