the brakes still technically work, but the pedal will often go to the floor for a complete stop if you let go of brake for a second, then push it back down, it will firm up, regardless of speed, but will become spongy again after firm when car off, sinks when turning car on at full stop, brake...

my 2018 with 68,000km or 42250mi has issues with the rotors. I have the usual indicator (vibration) of rotor replacement or resurfacing for my front rotors. Can anyone advise if this is a common thing? Is it a failing of Toyota with this model? I only do hwy mountain driving with this vehicle. I...

For about three years now, I've been trying to find a problem on this 2014 rav4 and am stumped. I'm not seeing anything that seems to be a danger so I've wanted to solve it on my own before bringing it to a dealer. I'm at the point where I'm about to bring it in for an assessment but I'm not...

So I've had some problems with my brakes I've been overlooking since they worked fine, but I decided to break the calipers down and paint them with some vht and replace the seals. Job took a few days and the front lines bled dry. I rebuilt everything, (Caliper piston boot retainer wasn't on...

Hey ladies and gents, I'm looking for some info on how to reset the computer on my 2020 Rav 4. I replaced the rear pads and rotors on the vehicle and it was my first time working with an electronic parking brake; I disabled the electronic parking brake to remove the old pads and rotors and upon...

Got rear-ended 3 days after I got my car... It went to the shop and came back and after that, the brakes have been making a weird farting noise that sounds like air is quickly escaping the brakes. I found a video from Reddit that shows the exact sound: Please let me know if this is a bigger...

Replaced just the fronts (waiting for the 'Rack) to get the correct rear disks. I will need to take photos of them (just burnished them in). Looking forward to towing my SeaDoo next year. I will (weather permitting) install the rear set next weekend. The stopping power seems a little better...

Hi there, I have a RAV 2002mod which I just bought. Previous owner had not used it for some years, unknown why. The car is struggling with its brakes. I have changed the rear brakes, front are ok. I have refilled the brake fluid and aired the system. Still, when putting pressure on the brake...

The title say RAV4.3 but this could apply to any generation, any Toyota and maybe most vehicles With 100K on my 2012 RAV4 Limited, it was time to flush the brake lines and put in new fluid. I've done this in the past with other vehicles and other Toyotas - frequently using the 2-person method -...

Hey Everyone! This is awesome. I’ve never posted in a forum before lol. But anyway, I have a 2012 limited edition RAV4 6cyl 4wd. It has 80k now. I got the front brakes replaced fine, but the rear back left had worn down not the right. I remember my dad having an issue where this was making a...

Yesterday I was coming back from a hike, coming down from one of the mountains. At first I thought it was the car in front of me, but when he left the road I still smelled burning brakes. The road is too steep to coast or let the engine brake it, so I have to use the brakes. I've never had a...

Hey y'all I bought a 2008 RAV4 V6 4WD Limited from my mom a few months back. I drive it a bit harder than my mom did, and today I started hearing a low rubbing sound while I braked coming from my front right wheel. I am not too used to describing how things sound broken in cars because i have...

I know it's inevitable especially in the northeast but it seems the pads are already not making good contact with the rotor that's only 3 months old with ~2400mi. My fear is by next fall the vehicle will already fail an inspection. The state of Vermont inspection stations are overly zealous...

Hi there, I just took my 2016 in for an inspection and the mechanic told me that my front pads are nearly gone. In March 2019, I had them replaced at the dealer (Queensboro Toyota in NYC, cost $300, after 35K miles). Since then, I've gone 15K. The mechanic thinks they didn't bother to replace...

Hi all New here, and hoping one of you might be able to help. I'm at a bit of a loose end with my Drum brakes on my 1996 Mk1. They've been squeaking after about half an hour of driving and it's driving me INSANE. I've had it in at Toyota and 2 other Garages and they're stripping the drums down...

2014 RAV4 LE 2WD with 93k on it. Live in the rust belt. Need to get all 4 rotors and pads replaced. Anyone have any opinion on which rotors and pads to get that you have had good experience with? Af I was thinking to get the Centric Premium Rotors. Undecided on the brake pads. Would appreciate...

Recently I've purchased a 2016 Rav4 XLE Hybrid from a Toyota dealership. It's a certified pre-owned car with one previous owner and previous fender bender (right side bumper). The day after I got the car, I noticed that my slip indicator light flickered a few times as I was breaking at a stop...
