My vehicle is throwing the ABS light and slamming my breaks. I-??ve taken it to Toyota, it-??s not showing any codes so they can-??t diagnosis it to fix the issue. It may go two weeks and drive fine, and then it does it again. Whether I-??m going 10mph or 55mph, it will do this. Very scary and very unsafe.

Anytime you go above 60mph the car and steering wheel shake pretty violently. If you take your foot off the gas it goes away temporarily. The same happens at times when braking, the car and steering wheel will shake. Tires have been balanced, rotated, and replaced with no improvement. This seems to be a well known and wide spread problem with Toyota offering no real solution. The vehicle seems hard to control and could be dangerous at speeds above 60. I am around 50,000 miles on my 4Runner and the problem seems to have started when my tires were replaced a few months ago.

General brake use. When pressing to the brakes the pedal has to be pressed on all the way to the floor before the car begins to stop.

I recently purchased a 2019 Toyota 4runner from stadium Toyota. In the beginning of November 2019, I began to hear a squeaking noise coming from the car when ever I would back-out of my garage first thing in the morning and lightly release the breaks. I recorded the noise and scheduled an appointment with the dealer. I showed the video to the service technician, who acknowledged the problem but was unable to replicate it. 2 days after the service, the squeaking sound, which sounds like metal rubbing against metal, came back. In the beginning, the sound would happen first thing in the morning, after I haven't driven for 12 hours. Now, the sound can be sometimes heard even after the car have been parked for an hour. I fully respect the opinion of the service technician, who was unable to find the source of the problem, but I will not accept that the squeaking sound is a normal sound of the vehicle, and I want the issue to be resolved. I purchased the vehicle with 4 miles on it and currently has ~4000 miles on it. I have attached the first correspondence between me and Toyota headquarters in which I detail the the issue to them. I mention that the squeaking sound is coming from the front, but after my meeting with the service technician, I was let know that the squeaking sound could be coming from the back as well. I have been to the service technician 3 times so far without an solution privileged. After I come back from the dealer, the squeaking sound comes back after 3 days. The technician always tells us that the squeaking is because of moisture and break dust, but I do not understand why my 2016 Toyota 4runner, which was purchased in the beginning 2017, brand new from the same dealer and same sales person, does not have this issue. The 2019 4runner has been garage stored since the day it was purchased.
