SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2011 TOYOTA TACOMA - BRAKES ARE VERY INCONSISTENT. ONE TIME THEY WORK JUST AS INTENDED AND THE NEXT TIME YOU DEPRESS THE PEDAL, YOU FEEL PRESSURE TRYING TO PUSH THE PEDAL BACK TO YOU AND THE BRAKING IS ENHANCED TO THE POINT THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. TOYOTA SAYS THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE BRAKES. IF THIS IS THE CASE TOYOTA HAS A REAL PROBLEM. *TR

SUSPENSION
MY 2011 TOYOTA TACOMA 7188 IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN WINDY CONDITIONS. AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS (70MPH) IT LOOSES DIRECTIONAL STABILITY DURING WINDY CONDITIONS. MY 2006 TACOMA 7114 WAS SOLID AS A ROCK IN ANY CONDITIONS. I FEEL THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSES WIND TO RAISE THE VEHICLE EVER SO SLIGHT CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVABILITY SITUATION. SADLY I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS AND THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS MY 12TH TOYOTA OF WHICH 6 HAVE BEEN TACOMAS. IT IS MY VERY WORST NIGHTMARE TO DRIVE. I FEAR MY ONLY OPTION IS TO FILE A FORMAL REPORT TO THE NTSB AS THIS A DESIGN FLAW AND CANNOT BE CORRECTED AT ANY DEALERSHIP. [XXX] NOTE THERE IS NO SELECTION FOR A 2011 TACOMA IN THE VEHICLE DESCRIPTION SO I SELECTED A 2010 AS THEY ARE VIRTUALLY THE SAME.
