WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY, THE "LOW BRAKING POWER" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER SEEING THIS, I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND I HAD TO PUSH IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER FOR MY CAR TO SLOW DOWN/STOP. HAD MY CAR CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BASED ON MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES, TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE JERKS WHEN IN MOTION OR BEFORE BRAKING. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO PROPERLY SWITCH SPEEDS WHICH ALSO CAUSE IT TO JERK FORWARD. AGAIN, POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT CONSTANTLY SLOWS DOWN BECAUSE IT "DETECTS ITEM" WHEN THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THE ROAD. IT WILL SLOW DOWN AT ANY TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE RECEIVED 2 MASTER WARNINGS ALERTS THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID, WEREN'T REGISTERED IN THE VEHICLES DATA BASE. THE MASTER ALERT IS LOUD AND FILLS UP MY DASHBOARD SO, IT HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
