Owner report 10189102 · 2007-04-27 (April 27, 2007)

IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED A SITUATION WHICH I FEEL IS QUITE DANGEROUS. THE FOLLOWING HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR OCCASIONS WHILE ON HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES. WHAT OCCURS IS THAT I WILL BE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65-70 MILES/HR WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO A MUCH LOWER GEAR. I AM NOT SURE WHICH GEAR IT IS, BUT IT IS INTO A VERY LOW GEAR. TWO THINGS HAPPEN. THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN RAPIDLY WITHOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON WHICH CAUSES THE CAR BEHIND ME TO COME CLOSE TO REAR-ENDING ME. BUT A WORSE SITUATION I…

VEHICLE SKID CONTROL LOCKS UP FRONT WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAR INTERSECTION. OBJECTS AND PASSENGERS ARE VIOLENTLY THROWN FORWARD.

Owner report 10351106 · 2010-08-22 (August 22, 2010)

ON 8/14/10 AT APPROXIMATELY 6 PM, I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY SOUTHBOUND ON INTERSTATE 5-FREEWAY IN NORTH LOS ANGELES COUNTY (CITY OF VALENCIA) WHEN AN AUDIBLE DASH ALARM AND SEVERAL DASH PANEL LIGHTS LIT UP ON MY DASH PANEL. SHORTLY AFTER THIS OCCURRED, I LOST ALL POWER ASSIST IN MY BRAKING SYSTEM AND WAS FORCED TO USE BOTH EXTREME FOOT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE HAND BRAKE TO BRING MY CAR TO A STOP. I WOULD CLASSIFY THIS AS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE PROBLEM WA…

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 5 MPH OVER A SPEED BUMP WHEN THE SPARE TIRE CABLE FAILED, CAUSING THE SPARE TIRE TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE.

ON MAY 29,2013 AT APPROXIMATELY 1 PM, I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WAITING FOR APPROACHING TRAFFIC TO CLEAR SO THAT I COULD MAKE A LEFT TURN. SUDDENLY, I HEARD A BUZZER ALARM AND NUMEROUS DASH BOARD LIGHTS LIT UP, INCLUDING ABS, VSC, BRAKE, ETC.COMPLETING THE TURN, I REALIZED THAT THE BRAKES WERE VIRTUALLY NON FUNCTIONAL AND REQUIRED EXTREME FORCE TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. I DROVE TO MY NEARBY HOME AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND PARKED THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE. UPON RETURNING FROM A TRIP I HAD THE TOWING COMPANY FLATBED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEAL…

Owner report 10723042 · 2015-06-02 (June 2, 2015)

THE SPARE TIRE IS HELD IN PLACE WITH A STEEL CABLE THAT BROKE SPONTANEOUSLY AFTER 14 YEARS OF STRESS SUPPORTING THE WEIGHT OF A HEAVY SPARE TIRE. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT MAY HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I SUSPECT THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN TO ANY VEHICLE THAT DEPENDS ON A SINGLE STEEL CABLE TO HOLD UP A SPARE TIRE.

Owner report 11111799 · 2018-07-16 (July 16, 2018)

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON 7/15/18 AND AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY GARAGE A LOUD NOISE STARTED BUZZING FROM MY DASHBOARD AND MY BRAKE LIGHT, ABS, AND VSC LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT ONCE. MY BRAKES HAD COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR WHEN I PRESSED IT AND IT WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. I ALMOST WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE OTHER SIDE OF MY BRICK GARAGE. LUCKILY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ALLOWED ME TO STOP BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. I CANNOT IMAGINE IF THE BRAKES COMPLETELY F…
