2016 Toyota Sequoia Brakes Problems

Your brake rotors and pads needed replacement at 15,000 miles and again at almost 30,000 miles due to the rotors overheating. As the rotors warp, you feel significant shaking when braking downhill or at highway speeds, which feels unsafe. The dealership said this will keep happening but offered no permanent solution. Fixing this likely involves replacing the brake rotors and pads, and the dealership may need to investigate why the braking system is overheating prematurely.

Your brake rotors have warped twice — first at 18,000 miles and again at 28,000 miles — causing violent shaking in the steering wheel and throughout the car when you brake. Toyota replaced them once under warranty, but the dealership has now refused further repairs and is suggesting you buy larger rotors instead. The issue may require diagnosing why the rotors keep warping and either replacing them with a better solution or investigating the underlying brake system problem.
