"A good solid deal with Toyota like dependability"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Acceleration pedal was gummy. That is you had to exert extra push power at the beginning of acceleration then back off as it suddenly surged.

General comments?

A fine ride just short of luxurious.

A comfortable and spacious interior though a bit too much wind noise on the highway.

Braking is a dream. Many times I thought I was in trouble, but stopped gently, well short of the bumper of the guy in front of me.

Marveled at the powerful 6 ability to get off the line though the passing gear was a little disappointing at highway speeds.

View out the back window is really distorted and objects may be a lot closer than they are.

I agree, the braking system on this SUV is unbelievable. I knew for sure I was going to tag a guy in front of me, but somehow the car stopped. The seatbelt even left a bruise.

Note: The drums do get warped after awhile causing some vibration when braking, but my first set of pads did last 100K.
