Land Cruiser

  • 141,000 miles
The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Land cruiser. While driving various speeds, the traction control warning indicator illuminated, which caused the brakes to engage and the vehicle's speed to suddenly decrease. When the failure occurred, the vehicle decreased 10-15 mph in speed. The failure occurred on approximately five occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for repairs, but the failure persisted. On the most recent occasion, the rear passenger side wheel seized due to the failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the seal bearing, a snap ring, the rear passenger side axle bearing retainer, the brake drum gasket, the skid control rotor, and the rear parking brake needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 141,000.

Land Cruiser

  • 120,000 miles
Complete and total braking failure. Zero brake pressure, complete loss of stopping force. ABS failed, all warning lights illuminated. This caused the vehicle to proceed uncontrolled down the road for a couple of kilometers due to driving down hill till it was slowed enough by resistance to pull off the road and call a tow truck. Again, it was a complete and total brake failure, diagnosed by Toyota as a failed ABS pumping and accumulator system.
