| Description of the problem | The vehicle does not want to stop. While driving 1 block from an office to an intersection at a speed of less than 30 miles per hour i had to place both feet on brake pedal and mash the pedal to the floor to stop the vehicle at a stop light. Mileage on the vehicle is 23,000 and i have told toyota this was occurring since i owned the vehicle. I have consistently had toyota check for problems and none are found. This happens about once every three months. The car is an automatic and this is the best way to describe what it feels like. If you were driving a manual transmission vehicle and were on a hill trying to maintain your position you would be engaging the clutch and the gas pedals, one would be fighting the other. That is what this feels like, the brake fights the gas pedal. |
