~tl the contact owns a 2007 Toyota Fj Cruiser. While driving 62 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. Also, the brake pedal was applied, but the brakes failed to respond and the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was able to restart after numerous attempts. The vehicle was towed to ridgeway sunoco (1615 long pond rd, rochester, NY 14626, (585) 227-4513), but was not diagnosed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the parts needed to be replaced. The dealer was contacted (t j Toyota inc, 6698 NY-56, potsdam, NY 13676, (315) 265-3350). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the warranty had expired. The failure mileage was 105,000.
While traveling in the far right hand lane, in a work zone at designated speeds as controlled by road workers. The vehicle in front of me applied brakes causing me to due the same. My brakes initially grabbed momentarily and then released unexpectedly, while I was still applying the brakes. I jammed on the brakes the tires locked up and nose dived violently. . . . . Barely avoiding an accident. Obvious significant brake system failure.
Brakes fail momentarily after riding over a bumpy road. This is similar to the recall on the Toyota prius.
I own an 07 Fj Cruiser and my wife an 08, that has the exact same problem as the prius. When ever I go over a bump in the road at low speed and brake the brakes fail to work immediately when the car is on a bumpy or slippery surface, or when it drives over potholes I get that same thing. I have 26k on the vehicle and love it but now im confused about that brake problem or if there is one with this problem! help!!!!!!!!!!.
When braking on an uneven road surface the brakes momentarily fail.
When applying my brakes on several occasions my brakes would fail to engage and stop the car. It occurs when I come to a stop under normal braking and one tire hits a bump such as a man hole cover. No matter what I do the brakes do not engage and the car continues to roll forward. Anti lock does not engage when this occurs it is as if the brake pedal is dead. Also, the opposite extreme occurred yesterday when applied my brakes with normal pressure and the vehicle braked very quickly and unexpectedly hard. Everything flew forward in the vehicle. I believe these two issues are common to Toyota Fj Cruiser owners and are dangerous life safety issues.
My 2007 Fj Cruiser's brakes fail occasionally while braking on a bumpy road surface. When this happens, the first instinct is to press the brake peddle harder to the floor but the vehicle continues moving forward at the same speed of travel prior to the application of the brake. I have tried pumping the brake when this happens but if the road surface continues to be uneven the problem persists. I have had a few close calls but luckily have not had an accident yet.
Temporary brake failure when driving over gravel county road. Brake pedal was depress and the brakes failed to slow the vehicle, causing it to roll through a stop sign and over the railroad tracks. Abs system seemed to be activated during this failure, the abs pulsing was felt in the brake pedal. When the brakes were reapplied they worked normally. This has occurred about three times over the last few months.
