| Description of the problem | The brakes failed on this car january 6, 2016, causing me to collide with the rear end of a truck while going about five miles per hour. I was in normal traffic, on a city street, coming to a slow stop, and as i approached the vehicle about 15 feet in front of me, waiting in line for the turn lane, i depressed the brake, which was hard as a rock. However, the car would not stop; consequently, i hit the other vehicle. I was going so slow that the airbags did not deploy. Fortunately no one was hurt, although my vehicle sustained about $1200 in damage. I believe this problem was caused by either the abs brake actuator or the brake pedal stroke sensor. However, the car was seen by a toyota corporation representative who stated in writing there is nothing wrong with the car. This car has already been repaired under a service campaign for the fluid reservoir filter. However, there is also a warranty enhancement program (ze-1), number pol14-04, for the brake actuator assembly and skid control ecu/brake pedal stroke sensor. Our vin is listed in the group of affected vehicles. |
