While driving on cobblestone road all you hear is metal clattering beneath the body but once you tap the brakes it becomes silent. And I have went to the dealer to fix this problem but haven't three times.

While traveling at 20 MPH driver applied brakes and pedal went to floor, consumer pressed again and vehicle stopped. Driver turned to avoid hitting another vheicle. This caused an air release noise and feel before vehicle finally stopped. *jg
Consumer contacted dealer for recall 01v228000 remedy, vehicle was repaired, consumer stated repair did not remedy the problem, please provide further details.
01 v 228 000/brake system: recall repairs was done at(ourisman fairfax toyota; fairfax, va; phone# 703/359-1010). After repairs was made, problem with soft pedal and applyed to close to the floor before stopping; dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further details concerning this matter.
The recall work subject to campaign 01v228000 was not performed correctly. The vehicle still has excess pedal travel, and the pedal feel is 'mushy,' like the brakes need to be bled, as they were supposed to be during the recall work. The increased pedal stroke lengthens the stopping distance of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall work took 20 minutes - toyota says it should take about 1 hour. Bleeding the brakes, according to the toyota highlander service manual, consists of three parts - the master cylinder, the ABS/vsc actuator, and the brake lines. There was no evidence that the actuator or the master cylinder were bled. The dealer has since tried to convince me that they're all like that, and this is normal brake operation. There are several posts to the edmunds highlander discussion group about mushy highlander brakes, with some saying the recall work improved their brake feel, others saying it didn't. I fear that many of the recall correction attempts have not been successful.
While driving about 65 MPH somebody will open rear window, and it will make a tremendous noise, wich will hurt passengers' ears. Please provide more information.
