“Parking brake is frozen. My private mechanic explained this model year uses a white metal that corrodes very easily. I was not able to engage the parking break while parked on a hill on a city street. I've attached a picture of the parts that show the corrosion. I believe that Toyota should recall these vehicles and replace this part for safety reasons, and reimburse customers who had the part replaced. (300+ dollars)”
NHTSA complaint #10885111, filed 2016-07, 67,132 miles“I was driving on freeway at a speed 60-70mph. It felt like front driver side brake was engaged by itself without pressing on the brakes. I lost the control of the car, and the car started skidding towards to left. I heard high pitch noise. I and my passenger felt like the car was going to roll over. The weather was sunny, no rain, no snow. The road was clean of debris or fluids. This failure occurred once. I lost the control of the car, felt like rolling over. If it was rainy day, probably, I would have been dead or seriously injured. I barely gained the control of the car. …”
