“I have a 2009 toyota Scion TC which I am very afraid to drive but it is not on the recall list but I am having major problems with the brakes(ABS tracking system). I have had 3 very close calls as a result of my brakes locking up(going slow) and unable to stop, even after I take my foot off the brake they remain locked.

I am very stressed when having to drive my vehicle anymore. …”
