I brought mine to the dealer where I bought it from for my 1st oil change. asked them to tighten the handbrake that went all the way up before finally engaging, been that way since I bought it.
no problem, tightened at no cost because warranty? cool.
1 week later, im on the freeway and my rear wheels start vibrating like crazy, bouncing around like they might fly off the car. by some miracle I was 1 exit away from the same dealership. I carefully limped off the freeway and drove straight in to service and we all noticed a smell of... BRAKES.
after they had it for an hour it was determined the last tech who tightened the handbrake made it TOO TIGHT and it was lightly rubbing while I was driving. heat from freeway speed expanded the friction area, making it tighter and I was pretty much driving with e brake on.
they sanded the glaze from the pads, resurfaced the drum.
he said "no charge" I said "NO SHIT."
the driveway to the service ramp sucks too. I cant get up it without spinning one tire and my car is only 1.5" drop right now.
im not going to Kearny mesa Toyota for service anymore.
