03/04/2019- I was driving down a dry road in Santa Fe, New Mexico traveling at approximately 35 to 40 mph. A gradual turn, and I stress gradual, came up and upon turning the wheel to take the slight curb the vsc/ anti slip braking kicked in and the computer 'sensed' I lost controlled at which point it took over and locked the brakes up. This action taken by the computer took away all of my control, straightened my car out sending me off the road into a dried up river bed totalling my truck completely. Air bags deployed, front end destroyed, thank god I wasnt seriously injured, but trust me when I say it couldve been much much worse. This problem needs to be addressed. Ive read multiple, almost identical stories involving the same problem with the same year. This is dangerous, unpredictable and has left me vehicleless in a financial bind. I will also mention this wasnt the first time this happened unwarranted. This just happened to be the first time it caused serious issues.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota 4runner. When the brake pedal was depressed, it traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The contact, an independent mechanic, planned to inspect and test the brake system himself. The contact stated that the front and rear brakes had been bled extensively; however, the rear brake cylinder failed to function. The manufacturer had not issued any brake system recalls; however, a tsb was issued on September 9, 2013 (T-sb-0141-13) for the brakes. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000. * consumer stated: For the last four years the stationary and movable windows around my forerunner the rubber sealing around the bottom of them, that prevents water from going inside the body and the doors, have been curling up the falling off. Since there is a lot of electrical components in the doors this can cause an extreme electrical fire, and possibly interfering with the computer operating system that could effect the vehicle driving ability. All four door outside lower window rubbers have fallen off which helps prevent water from getting in when it rains. I'm, not positive but could this cause, in rain storms, loss of control of the vehicle because of an electrical short in the computer system? my '99 Toyota forerunner all the window rubbers are still perfect, which prevents rain water from running down into the door or the window panels. They are very expensive to replace. Since I'm on a fixed income due to disability, I'm unable to replace them. My brakes went to the floor when I went down to 2 miles and hour while pulling into my driveway. I was able to use my emergency brake. VIN number not valid updated 10/26/18

I was making a left turn at low speed at a traffic light. Suddenly the ABS, brake and traction control warning lights lit up on the dashboard. At the same time, a continuous, high pitched alarm sound went off. I came to a full stop at another traffic stop. At that point my foot was on the brake and the brake depressed to the floorboard. I placed the car in park and pumped on the brakes and they did pump back up. I parked the vehicle close by and had the car towed to the nearby Toyota dealership. They diagnosed the problem as a failed master cylinder and quoted me a price of $3000 including parts and labor for repairs. Both the dealership and Toyota stated that there were no tsb's or recalls currently on the vehicle.

After starting my vehicle the ABS and stability control lights came on and never went off. My anti lock braking and traction control do not work now. I just found out Toyota is recalling several models from 2012 and 2013 for the same problem and my vehicle is not listed. Do I have to have an accident or injury before it is added to the recall"?" sounds like a lawsuit to me. I have a 2010 4runner.

I have brakes hydraulic problem on my 2010 4runner, I brought to dealer 3 times in the past but they insisted there was no issues with the brake system. The brake paddle when depressed had hissing sound, seemed like there was air leaks somewhere..when pressed down the brake paddle, the vehicle would accelerate a bit then the brakes hydraulic applied. It is very scary when I was on freeway with 70-80 mph. If you have resolve the problem.. with the engine turns off, I still hear the hissing sound every single time I step on the brake pedal. And the service adviser in dealer said its normal"?? and the brakes took couple milliseconds to response when brake pedal compress??"
