2013 Toyota Tacoma Brakes Problems

“I have been running the same wheels and tires on the vehicle since it was brand new, running 17 aluminum wheels with a 10- ply rated 265/70/17 michelin lt which is a standard size for this vehicle. At about 47,000 miles the traction control on my Tacoma started acting up badly making it very dangerous to drive on mountain roads with super-elevated turns. Basically the truck thinks it is sliding when it's not even close to breaking loose at 35 MPH. …”

“Driving to work traveling at between 55-60 I was going around a slight curve my foot was on the accelerator and out of no where the ABS or stability control or something caused my truck to slam on the brakes causing the front to dive down and a temporary loss of control. No crash just spooked. I drive the route every day the same way never had this happen before. The skid indicator was flashing but no noticeable skid. I am sensitive to that feeling and there was none detected prior to this happening.”

“The vehicle has extremely grabby brakes and I feel that they contributed to the loss of control I experienced on slippery road surfaces. As I attempted to gently slow down by applying the brakes I lost the back end of the vehicle resulting in a loss of control. The road conditions were not favorable, but I have driven may other vehicles in much worse conditions without experiencing this issue. I feel that probability of losing control of the vehicle would have been greatly reduced if the brakes were not grabby.”

“What happens: the front anti-lock brakes independently actuate for approximately .5-2.5 seconds. When: turning left 90%, right 8% and forward 2% the most frequent is a left turn where the bank of the road is at a significant angle. It is terrifying on a mountain road to have your front end dive down and loose control. My nerves are on edge with every turn, wondering if the truck is going to do its dive. My girlfriend refuses to ride in the vehicle because of it. It started happening approximately a year ago and I had faith Toyota would come out with a fix. …”

“It happened in a sunday afternoon. I was driving my truck 2013 Toyota Tacoma (brand new less than a month). I had friends riding with me. I knew there is a stop sign and I saw the stop sign about several blocks away and lifted my right foot off the gas pedal. When I slightly applied my right foot on the brake pedal, my truck didn't even slow down a bit even though I pushed the brake pedal to the floor. My truck kept going like accelerating itself with big noise like vroooooooooom. I kept my foot on the brake and meanwhile shifted the stick from d to n to r to p just in split of a second. …”
