What Owners Say
"Corrosion of components required complete replacement. This is the 2nd occurrence."
Anonymous, WA (2017 Toyota Highlander XLE 3.5-L V6)"These brakes began pulseing at around 25000 miles and I took it in for replacement at about 35000 miles. I was looking for front rotor machineing and pad replacement but the dealer sort of forced me to get front fully replaced and back machined and pads replaced so they made over $1000."

Anonymous, WA (2017 Toyota Highlander XLE 3.5-L V6)"The dealer blames these problems on the driver, but I am very easy on the brakes, always shift to a lower gear on long downhills. In my opinion, the front brakes are simply not built to high enough specifications for this vehicle. We're on our third complete replacement, disks, pads & rotors, in just over 100,000 miles."
