 Description of the problemNew brakes were put on my car on 11/23/13. A short time later, i was approaching a red light and began to slow down. Upon doing so the abs system kicked in and when i applied my foot to the breaks they would not work. As i approached the intersection, i made a sharp right 90 degree turn to avoid going through the red light as the vehicle would not stop and i would have been in a terrible accident. The road was not wet but it had rained earlier in the day and the road was dry. I returned vehicle to dealer and was told they could not repeat the situation and everything was okay. They told me that even if the road is dry once it rains, the road can still have particles on it that cause the abs to kick in. This continued to happen intermittently about once a month. In the past month, it has happened every few days. My son was driving the car in late feb. And he went over a very small pile of leaves that would not warrant the abs to kick in. He too was almost involved in a wreck. Car went back to dealer but dealer can find what was wrong. The abs severely reacts when it should not be doing so. The abs is engaging when it should not be doing so. If one goes over a road that is barely wet or a small patch of drive leaves, as i did the other night, the abs kicks in and locks up the car. When i touch on the breaks lightly coming to a stop, there are no breaks and then they suddenly grab really hard. Breaks feel like air is in the line. This did not occur until they put new breaks in my car at 30,000 miles. In addition, the transmission is whining, shifting roughly and not shifting when it is supposed to. My vehicle has been at the dealership for over a week and they said they will be keeping it at least until this coming wed. When a toyota field inspector will be coming to inspect the car.
