Any time you go over any bump or hit any pothole, the brakes become very spongy feeling.

I have brought this issue up to my local toyota dealership who denied any such inconsistencies. Also, there have been electrical issues for the past few years when turning on the radio; after pushing any button at any time, it will randomly change the display to nonsense…
