Toyota is advising brakes need to be replaced. Car has 260000 miles on it and is 1yr old. Have complained about brake issue to toyota at 15000 miles. No solution toyota did nothing. Brakes make grinding noise like gravel. Also the vsc system engages and does not take power from drive train, result in very loud metal shearing noises from undercarriage. Toyota is saying this is normal. Toyota is advising the avg life of brakes on this car is approx 20000 miles there is a major design error between the vcs and the ABS brake system resulting poor brake life and this can not be a safe situation when vsc does not release power to brakes when it activates. Vcs also activates at drop of a hat. General brake design must have major design flaw if avg life is only 20000 miles.

Consumer states the vehicle skid control lights activate and most of the engine power is instantaneously cut, usually engine power is not restored until the vehicle has completely stopped moving, when this malfunction occurs on the freeway, it causes the driver to lose the ability to maintain a speed consistent with the flow of traffic and a very hazardous speed differential occurs.
