While traveling home from work I went to use the brakes, there were no brakes as the pedal went to the floor. Upon inspection of the vehicle I found a metal brake line on the passenger side engine compartment was assembled so as it made direct contact with the metal fuel pressure return line. The two lines subsequently wore a groove in each other with the brake line wearing through thus letting all the applied braking pressure to escape from the worn hole in the line. I was an ase certiified auto technician for many years in my life and it is my professional diagnosis that the vehicle was assembled this way from the factory. The fuel pressure return line shows severe wear and could prove to be a fire hazard if it ruptures.

Sidewalls of all tires are peeling off. White is extremely visible behind black sidewall. Tires have less than 30000 miles on them. These tires were made in the decator plant and have the vd designation in the dot square. Also there are enormouse cracks in the tread section of the tires. Again this is on all tires.

I was driving down the road, I lost control of my vehicle and crashed into a concrete wall with the right rear end of my vehicle. I was seat belted in my vehicle. When the vehicle came to a final rest, then is when my seat belt popped (unlatched). I did not injury my body. However, I do not feel confortable knowing that my belt did not hold me. Will it hold me, god forbid that I have another collision going faster than 55 MPH?( dot number: )

The engine started knocking at around 65,000 to 70,000 miles. Toyota has a 5yr/60,000 mile warranty. I contacted toyota and they would not stand behind their product. They find it acceptable for an engine to be rebult or replaced at cost to the cosumer of $3000 to $5000 dollars. Any help with this cosumer problem will be greatly apprciated..
