Brake Light On Problems of Toyota FJ Cruiser

While driving about 35mph on smooth asphalt the cars in front of me started braking. I applied my brakes lightly and nothing happened, pushed brake pedal harder still nothing and started to panic then all of a sudden the brakes engaged hard almost causing me to hit the car in front of me and the car behind almost hit me. I purchase the Fj Cruiser used with about 52,000 miles on it. This has happened about 5 times since it was purchased. I do not feel the vehicle is safe and Toyota needs to step up and fix the problem before people are injured or killed. I see complaints all over the internet with the same problem something needs to be done!.

Driving a new 2010 Toyota Fj Cruiser with approximately 600 miles on the odometer. Moderate rain. When turning off a paved roadway onto a flat, wet, and muddy surface I had the experience of total momentary brake failure. This occurred as my left front tire left the road surface and hit the slick mud. My speed was under 20 mph and I was able to regain braking power by releasing the brake and then re-applying it. My assumption at the time was it was the result of some kind of weird abs behavior. I was applying the brakes very lightly to gradually slow my vehicle. The brakes behaved normally until the first tire hit the slick muddy surface. Somehow the system caused all 4 wheels to lose all braking power.

While driving on dry pavement I made a lane change while approaching a stop light when it turned yellow. I applied the brakes slightly harder than normal at which point the car took over and applied 100% braking force. The car slammed to a stop and both the passenger and I were whipped forward and were luck to have not been rear ended. I am very concerned with all the similar problems with the abs controllers.
