Service Brakes
The automatic braking system (abs) engages when road surfaces are snowy or slick. When this happens, i cannot stop the vehicle within a reasonable distance. The abs takes over and the car coasts indefinitely. I have never been in an accident in 40 years of driving, and have now had three near misses over the last two winters due to the abs.

Automatic Emergency Braking · Electrical System · Electronic Stability Control · Service Brakes
Pre-collision warning system is faulty. The system engages when nothing is in front of the vehicle to merit warnings or engaging the brakes automatically. However, the system does not engage when the truck is extremely close to the wall of a garage. Unfortunately there is no way to turn off this feature and it will ultimately result in an accident which may be fatal.

My brand new tacoma has a sticking brake pedal that sticks in the pedal's neutral position. It needs more force to press it at random times. This issue stood out while i was driving in the mountains on a dirt road and came across some ice. I just needed to apply minimal pressure on the brakes to keep from speeding up as i was going downhill over the ice. There was no area to turn around in this location and would…

The 2018 toyota tacoma has a pre-collision system that does nothing more than beep loudly at the driver when it "thinks" i need to brake. It is overly sensitive and serves as a dangerous distraction whenever i am in heavy traffic. As an example, on tight city roads with cars parked on both sides it detects the cars on both sides and constantly goes off. It detects guardrails and signage on curves. I was told before…
