“1993 Toyota Previa. Sudden brake failure at about 30 MPH. I tried to stop and there was no braking. Parking brake was also not operable. I turned the key off and the vehicle continued to run. Putting it in park or reverse did not stop or slow it down. I went down gulley, across lawns and parking lots and did circles in parking lot until it finally stopped (?ran out of gas). Terrifying!! I notified Toyota to see if they were interested in finding out why there was this dangerous failure and I was informed my car was out of warranty and they really didn't care. …”
