SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY CAR IS A 2010 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER WHICH I PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2009. THE BRAKES DIDN'T STOP THE CAR AS EXPECTED IN TWO OCCASIONS, AT ABOUT 7000 MILES THE FIRST TIME, AND THEN A MONTH LATER AGAIN. IN THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 25 MPH ON WET ASPHALT COMING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I PUSHED THE BRAKES TO STOP BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL AND I WENT INTO THE INTERSECTION. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 40MPH, AGAIN ON WET ASPHALT. I DROVE OVER A GRATE ON A BRIDGE AND PUSHED THE BRAKES, AND THE CAR DID THE SAME THING, IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN AS I EXPECTED, INSTEAD IT KEPT GOING. IF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD BEEN CLOSER I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. THERE'S NO VIBRATION CHARACTERISTIC OF THE ABS, INSTEAD IT SIMPLY FEELS AS IF THE BRAKES STOP BRAKING. IN BOTH CASES I PULLED THE HANDBRAKE BECAUSE OF MY INSTINCTIVE REACTION TO TRY TO STOP THE CAR. I'VE BEEN DRIVING SEVERAL CARS OVER 15 YEARS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA THE FIRST TIME AND THEY HAD IT FOR A WHOLE WEEKEND AND TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. FURTHER, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER FJ OWNERS, SEE HTTP://TINY.CC/EABJA. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK (THE AUTO KEPT GOING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED) UNTIL I LET OFF THE PEDAL AND PUSHED THEM AGAIN. I PASSED OVER A MANHOLE COVER AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED. I HAVE ONLY HAD ONE INSTANCE OF THIS HAPPENING SO FAR, BUT IT SCARED THE '!@#$%OUT OF ME. AS THERE WAS A CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. *TR
