“While we were driving, going around a corner the antilock system decided to do it itself... And make my vehicle slip sideways. It was very dangerous as it took me from side to side. I have never had this happen before and I don't want it happening again. How do we fix this as fast as possible?”
NHTSA complaint #11341480, filed 2020-07, 150,000 miles“The brake actuator for the ABS system failed and needed to be replaced. This was and is a known potential problem by the Toyota company as a result of many Toyota owners replacing their vehicle actuators due to failure but no recalls have been activated and available for my vehicle as of this current date. I fortunately did not get into an accident as a result but stop use of the vehicle and had it repaired immediately by a Toyota dealership at my own expense. This was a very costly expense I incurred both in the actuator part and the labor to replace it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11163927, filed 2018-12, 158,830 miles“I was driving and without any warning the car shutdown down, the car controls would not respond. The car continued till it lost momentum stopped, there was no/or very little braking and steering assistance/control. ***I called Toyota and reported the problem, no assistance was provided*** the dashboard flashed lights, the vsc, awd and other lights came on. Fyi - the car has been regularly maintained. There are numerous controls on these similar issues, vsc awd ecu etc, but there seems to be no acknowledgement from Toyota.”
