“My brakes failed at a low speed at a mcdonalds and I hit a car in front of me. My son and grandaugher were in the car with me. I couldn't get the car to stop no matter how much I pushed on the brakes. My wife called toyato but was told to drive the car to a dealership. We are afraid to drive the car it would seem to be dangerous to do so.this is are only car. Doesn't seem to be any urgency on toyatos part. Any help to resolve this situation before some has to die.”
