2016 Toyota 4RUNNER Brakes Problems

“Started with shaking while driving, then they say they couldn't reproduce the same feeling. Then the front car would squeak like and old coil, they say they can't reproduce that. Now they said I needed new brakes and then the ABS, brake, and skid control lights keep coming on and off which coincides with a coil/click feeling under the brake and gas pedal. Car still shakes and squeaked. Toyota keeps saying my car is fine.”

“Driving home, on us 1, about 60-65mph, I had to suddenly brake. The vehicle brakes locked up,and yanked me to the right , pulling me off road. I took my foot off and was able to correct and move back onto the pavement. The ABS, active handling and brake lights with warning buzzer began. I had no brakes for a few moments, pedal going to the floor, momentarily. Then, the brakes functioned, but lights and warning sounds still activated. I was within a mile of home. I opted to continue at slow speed to the house, where I pulled in and used emergency brake to stop. …”

Have taken to dealer for inspection and they can't figure out what is causing it. Included images of drag marks in shop floor.”

“On 5/11/2025, my husband and I were returning home from the grocery store. I was operating the vehicle at the time of the incident. Upon arriving at our residence, I pulled into our driveway, which has a slight downward incline. As in our usual practice, I attempted to stop in front of the garage to unload groceries before entering, as the hatch of our vehicle can come in contact with the garage door when opened inside. While aligning the vehicle with the garage door, I began breaking and turning slightly to the left. …”

“We were traveling down the mountain of Mt. Nebo in Dardanelle, AR, around 1:08pm on Friday, May 22, 2026. It had been misty rain for a few hours. As we were traveling down the switchbacks of the mountain, we pressed on the brake to slow the vehicle; however, the vehicle did not slow down any. Since we were coming to the next curve in the switchback, the decision was made to drive the car into a tree vs. risking flipping the car over the side of the mountain. When the vehicle collided with the tree, none of the air bags deployed. The point of impact was the front driver corner of the car. …”
