The brakes just failed and was suddenly unresponsive at low speed when I was driving over slightly bumpy road on I-10 los angeles, the road was not icy neither had any dirt or sand, it felt like that I had no brakes, and almost hit the car infront of me, luckily it came to a stop when I stepped the brakes so hard that it feels like useless. I took my car to my mechanics,they inspected it and told me that it was fine. The brake pads were very new. I replaced new brake fluids, but this incident happened again ! I went to Fj Cruiser forum,and lots of people has encounter this same situation when driving over pot holes to cause the failure in the abs computer. And Toyota can do nothing about it!!.
