1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/26/2011

Driving on an access road, a car stopped suddenly on front of me at low speed, and I stepped on brakes hard and they did not work. Have had acceleration problems in past and reported to dealership. Car was included in the recall of cruise control sticking and acceleration and odometer going out and dashboard. Airbags deployed prematurely and did not inflate fully. Service light sticking preventing inspection until dealership can order part resulting in two traffic violations of no inspection even though presenting documentation of seeking inspection and failed. Replaced part on service bullentin, replaced three windshields having nothing hitting it but cracking anyway,back trunk handle broke,glove compartment broke,seat belt problems,car total lossed by insurance company even though front had no damage visable, severe damage to front bumper underneath=six thousand dollar estimate-no transportation now-unsafe car , was loyal Toyota customer but this is not a safe car four sets of tires before forty thousand miles, factory put wrong size on care, private tire company identified problem and tire rims were damaged. This was a rip off car. Bought new-never again.
