Description of the problem | We own a 2007 toyota tacoma. Back in 2009 i had an instance where i was driving during snowy conditions and when approaching an intersection, while applying the brakes the abs kicked in to where i could not stop and i coasted into the intersection and got in a minor accident. I have noticed several times throughout the years in the road has any wet, slippery, lose grip the abs will kick in and prevent me from being able to stop. Even when the road is dry, if one tire of the three lose any traction my brakes stop functioning making it incredibly difficult to stop because the abs system. After researching online, apparently this issue is common with my generation truck. There have been countless instances of people sliding into intersections unable to stop because of the abs. Not as many as unfortunate as me to get into an accident because of it. I have been searching for a solution and feel that toyota should have a recall to prevent further accidents. |
