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. I have 25000 miles on the vehicle and it's just out of warranty. Going onto the forum, I found this isn't a rare problem. This could have absolutely caused an accident had another car been beside me at the time my brakes failed I

Have an intermittent issue with the right front tire locking during breaking. Feels like the you suddenly mashed the break pedal to the floor. Happened on dry pavement while going straight down the road approx 50mph constant break pressure. Has done this at slower speeds going forward and backing up, just seems to drag the rf tire while other three are rotating normally. Have taken to dealer for inspection and they can't figure out what is causing it. Included images of drag marks in shop floor.
