pinagtatakpan pa rin ba nila??? this is so serious that we just can't let this go.

Tama, you should hold your balls and face Toyota. Get the media, get attention. Demand full refund (+ damages if possible) for this piece of Junk. Repairing it will not give you peace of mind. Imagine if it stalls while climbing a steep road say baguio or Antipolo.

All that will happen here is that the vehicle will coast down to a stop. Best if you stop it before the brakes stiffen up too much.

I think what he meant was that you will have a lose of power steering assist..

Delikado pala kasalubong and D4D na Fortuner pag nag overtake sya dahil baka bigla na lang tirik ang engine nya. Malayo pa dapat minor na wait hanggang maka overtake sya

Even without power assist, the steering wheel will be easy to move at speeds. I've driven cars being towed, and lack of power assist only matters at below-walking speeds.

Yung nakakatakot yung brakes, pero it takes a little bit before the lack of brake boosting becomes a problem. And when it goes completely, you'll still have brakes... yun lang, they'll be ungodly hard to press.

The biggest problem of all is when you panic thinking that something's wrong with the steering and the brakes. Hehe.

this stalling problem will definitely raise the premium on the insurance of toyota d4d's
