While I am driving my Toyota Highlander xle 2019 in a parking lot to park my car, I stopped to yield to people crossing and I slowed down and applied brake , but my car stopped and unable to restart as car display showing an error - braking power low I unable to star the car and ended up towing to Toyota dealer ship in plano,TX I am still waiting for dealer to check on and advise on the issue I feel this is huge safety issue as car can stop in middle of traffic or on busy highway with out any warning and can cause a serious accident I am really pissed off at Toyota quality.
While driving threw a construction zone the car upfront of me stopped. Upon applying the brakes nothing happened. There was a tractor trailer beside us and I was at the rer and another car was at the front plenty of time to stop. Brakes didn't activate until right before impact and the nose dove down. Abs never activated and the collision avoidance never activated. I was traveling with my wife and two young kids lucky no one was hurt and I had no avenue of escape due to cement barriers and 18 wheeler.
Driving on a two lane road following a car in front of me. Cruise is on and the car in front of me is not affecting my speed. The car in front of me turns left into their driveway and is completely off the roadway. My car brakes very hard like there is something in front of me. Their was no on coming trafiic. I've have had this happen again but the other car was turning right. The car was completely off the roadway and again my car starts braking very hard. I was almost rear ended by the car behind me.
A month ago, we were driving on the highway through snow showers up to nh to go skiing, with our nifty adaptive cruise control on, when I realized that we were accelerating into the car in front of us. I assumed that the front sensor was covered in slush, took off the cruise control and drove manually. Only about 5 minutes later did the dashboard alert notify me that the front sensor wasn't working. Brought it into the dealer. They couldn't find anything wrong. Here's the problem: the car says "trust me. If you use my cool safety systems, I'll keep you from hitting the car in front of you. . . And should something disable the sensor that carries out this function, I'll let you know, so that you won't depend on me. " but that's not true. And, a driver who assumed that the car was keeping its promise, as it does most all the time--might not have realized that it wasn't until they hit the car in front of them.
