2017 Toyota Tacoma Brakes Problems

“I pulled up to park the truck. After put in park the 2017 Toyota Tacoma lunged forward. This caused the vehicle to hit a brick wall. There was almost $5950.00 in damage to the truck and the airbags did not go off. I watched myself crash into the wall and could not stop the truck.”

“Freeway traffic was slowing. Edge of sole of shoe caught under brake pedal when trying to stop on when the vehicle in front of me suddenly and unnecessarily stopped completely. The delay in braking would have resulted in a crash into rear of car in front had I not swerved into median when finally able to start braking. Sole of my athletic shoe flares out a little which may be part of the problem. Seat was as far back as it goes. Perhaps distance to pedals is too short.

I called Toyota road side assistance and this was memorial day weekend and they wouldn't come to get the car because the dealer was closed and someone had to sign for the car. I was fortunately home at the time but did have to go to work on tuesday and that would be when they came. …”

“12/9/17 there was a small amount of snow on my driveway. My driveway is slightly on an incline and then levels off at the top I put my vehicle into 4 wheel drive and proceeded up the driveway with no problem. I deactivated the 4 wheel drive and placed my vehicle in park w/o using the e brake. I never use the brake with this vehicle or my prior vehicle a tundra. Two and a half hours later my daughter informs me that she heard a loud bang and observed my vehicle had rolled down the drive way striking a tree. When I went to investigate I observed that my vehicle gear shift was in park. …”
