Description of the problem	While driving home from work pulled up to stop light with many other cars the light turned green and i got up to 20 mph and the brakes kicked on slowing me down to almost a stop, and creating a loud noise. The car behind hit me, but did not cause any damage. He said i had no brake lights. It will only go 15 mph before the vehicle traction control went on and stopped the car. There was no warning. The dealer said there was a technical service bulletin in for the problem. I think toyota should fix this in a recall because it could cause serious injury , especially since it was the traction control system which activated for no reason and no brake lights went on. *ak
