Hi guys
I'm new to this forum. I have 2000 toyota 4Rnner SR5 4wd.
Yesterday, i forgot to turn off the hand break. I drove it for like 7 minutes at a speed of 40 to 45 mph while hand break was on.
Then i realized my mistake and turned it off.
What you guys suggest how much damage might have been caused to my 4Runner due to this mistake?
What should i do for recovery or correction etc ?
Thanks in advance.
Mack

It must not have been on very hard or you would not have been able to drive forward very easily. Probably just glazed the brake pads a bit with the heat. Keep on driving, just watch for that red light on the dash for BRAKE next time!
