2005 Avensis Brake Failure
Discussion
Hi,
Father in law has a 2005 1.8 Petrol Avensis.
Has owned the car 4 years and 60k miles and never really had any issues.
He was driving it the other day, and the brakes totally failed to work. Pedal went to floor and did nothing... Luckily swerved into free road and stopped on gears/handbrake. Got out to apologise to pedestrian who thought he was driving like an idiot! But when he got back in the car and restarted the brakes were fine.
Is now in Toyota and they say there is nothing wrong with them!?
Road conditions were perfect etc...
Car has been fastidiously maintained/cared for etc..
2 questions:
1. Has anyone heard/experienced this?
2. What to do next?
By the way before anyone states the obvious operator error, it definitely is not the case
