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.
Vehicle continues to have brake shudder while decelerating from freeway speeds. as the brakes heat up, the brake shudder gets more and more pronounced. i have had this vehicle in to the dealership for maintenance on this issue 5 times in the last 6 months to address the issue. tsb has been done to address rear axle issues, all recalls have been completed and rear drums were replaced under warranty once. vehicle is still under manufacturer's 2yr/25,000 mile toyotacare warranty, but manufacturer refused to replace the drums/rotors. i have taken the vehicle to a different shop and had front rotors/pads replaced, along with the rear drums and there is still a vibration coming from the brakes while decelerating. please advise.
With laser cruise control on, vehicle will suddenly slam on the brakes and release with no other vehicles in front of it. this has happened 8 or 9 times in the time i have owned the truck. i have taken it back to the dealer 4 times for this problem, only to be told that they cannot duplicate it and nothing was done to repair the problem. the next day i received a recall notice to bring the truck to toyota to repair a front sensor for this problem. i brought the truck in to the dealer and they said that water was getting into the front grill sensor and they glued a piece of rubber/foam over the sensor. a few days later the same thing happened again. my wife and i are afraid to even drive the truck and toyota has said everything is ok. the second problem is with laser cruise on and set at 75 miles an hour traveling up a grade, the vehicle will downshift into third gear running the tach to 300 rpm's over the redline. toyota says that this is fine and the truck has a governer to keep the truck from over revving ...

Vehicle surges when steering wheel is turned, also is hesitant to shift gears on highway. frustrating as it is difficult to drive efficiently when your car does not shift as expected. tiring to drive in this way.

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.
The car takes time to stop completely after pressing the break.
I feel that the toyota dealer in waipahu, hawaii is unable to remedy the defect in regards to recall no. 18v-888. i received the recall remedy notice in the mail, i then called our dealership service department the very next day on 2/25/19. i was told the part was on back order and they had no estimated time of arrival for the part. i asked for a phone call that day to satisfy my concern on no eta for the part since this recall affects my brake performance. no call was received. on 3/27/19, i called again and was told i had to keep calling since they have no idea in regards to the eta for the part. secondly, i cannot be put on a waiting list since i need to be at the remedy level. i was confused since our recall states it is a remedy notice which i explained i already had. i was put on hold only to be told she made a mistake and that a manager will call me back the same day. no call was received. today is 4/3/19 and i still have not ...

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 not be able to make it back up the hill due to the ice. when i depressed the brake pedal, it stuck at first then popped downward making me apply more pressure than i wanted to. the brakes engaged with more force causing me to not be fully in control as i began to swerve with the brakes locking up prior to the abs kicking in (tires lock for the abs to work). i've taken the vehicle to the dealership 3 times and voiced the safety concern. they did inspect it, however, i was told each time the vehicle functions as it should, per manufacturer specs. case filed directly with toyota corporate also had no resolution. one visit stated ...
After shifting into reverse from park and start backing up there is a 'clunk' noise from under the the vehicle and 'clunk' happens again once you brake in reverse. vehicle inconsistently shifts while driving at normal city speed limits.
