Pre collision system does not work per specification or manual. Does not slow vehicle or stop it. If relied on very dangerous. Tested on two vehicles one with under 2000 miles and one with under 3000 miles. Does not meet representations. Factory representative conducting test!

I brought rav 4 to dealer for normal 15,000 mile maintenance. I was told the rotor need to be resurfaced... For $180.00....called it "normal wear and tear" it appears that in colorado or mountain areas that rotor normally need to…

Brake pads and rotors wore out before 10k miles on a brand new car. Replaced the front brakes because they were so worn out.that is unheard of. Definitely a safety hazard and a defect on the part/vehicle.
