Braking system is defective, and on wet pavement at 20mph the brakes lock up. Dealer and insurance company contacted. After repair work had been done, problem still exists. Extended stopping distance occurs when brakes are applied.

Intermittently the braking system malfunctioned, causing the brake pedal to be "hard" and extended stopping distance. The vehicle slid, almost resulting in an accident. Cause unknown. Dealer cannot determine problem. Toyota decided to take vehicle back and give consumer a new one.
