Recently reported SERVICE BRAKES problems on 2016 Toyota Tacoma

'takita recall ' several times i have taken my pickup to the dealer for a cling, spring sound when you are apply brakes. and the engine has loud ticking sound .the first time they said it was how the vehicle was made. there is a noise coming from the front end especially when you are on a bad road disclose they cant hear anything. took it back again they said they can't find nothing even to the brake noise that they said was a part of how the vehicle was made. they take your vehicle have it for two days then pretend to work on it then give it back to you and never find anything. then you the customer have to experience these annoying unsafe experiences. you get so discouraged because they never can find anything and when they do is how the vehicle is made then by the time you keep going back and with the same respond the warranty is close to end. last time i took the pickup in was january 28,2019 and they returned it on the 30th with no document to what they did.

Parking brake seizes when applied. after loosened, every time i start the truck, the brakes apply after i am driving for 30 seconds or so.

While driving straight on a busy three-lane city street, while the vehicle was in motion, i heard a "beep" sound, "brake override malfunction" appeared of my dashboard display, i lost the ability to accelerate, and the engine came to a slow idle. since i did not have the ability to accelerate, i could only coast to the right hand side of the street. since there was no shoulder lane on this street, my vehicle came to a stop in the right hand lane, blocking the lane of traffic for some time until two gentlemen came to assist me with pushing my vehicle out of danger. repair took 10 business days since they did not know how to repair the vehicle initially (repair invoice will be provided upon request). two days after i picked up my truck from the dealership, the battery died in a parking lot. i'm not sure if the battery defect is related to the "brake override malfunction".
