This is the second time this has happened. As i approached a red light, i put my foot on the brake but the car kept on slowly going ahead. My foot was down to the floor on the brake, but it still went forward and i had to swerve to the right so as not to have an accident.

Was also told this was rare that they don't usually see a hub and bearing failing at this mileage. This is a serious problem and if you do not do anything about it…

I took it in to toyota and was told that they couldn't recreate the sound. I took it to a private mechanic and he replaced a part twice. It stops grinding for a couple of days but then it comes back. It now happens nearly every time i go forward or backwards. Also, if i go over a…

1-takata recall: nhtsa recall number: 15v285, manufacturer recall number: dsf.
