start date: 2011-10-12
description: WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY FELT AN AWKWARDNESS WITH THE BRAKES. ANYTIME I BEGAN TO STOP & THE ROAD WAS LESS THAN PERFECT, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP & I SEEMED TO SLIDE TO A STOP. THE FEELING WAS ALMOST LIKE STOPPING ON GRAVEL OR HYDROPLANING, JUST NO CONTROL FELT. WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, I WAS TOLD THAT'S HOW THE NEW BRAKES ARE (I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED AN OLDER VEHICLE) & THE BRAKE INSPECTION FOUND NOTHING. I HAVE BEEN IN TWO MVAS PRIOR, ONCE I WAS REAR ENDED & THE OTHER TIME SOMEONE RAN A STOP SIGN & HIT ME. 10/12/11 I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE & WAS ALSO REAR ENDED IN THE PROOCESS. WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE SUDDENLY THAT DAY, THE CAR SLID INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I AM A VERY CONSCIENTIOUS DRIVER. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT WHEN SOMEONE REAR ENDS ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT IS AUTOMATICALLY THEIR FAULT. I HAVE SINCE PURCHASED ANOTHER NEW VEHICLE, DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER, AND BEING TOLD THE TOYOTA BRAKES WERE RIGHT, COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. 10/10/11 I HAD LAB WORK PERFORMED & WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING PREGNANT. THIS ACCIDENT TWO DAYS LATER, THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, EITHER. THE HOOD OF THE CAR CAME IN THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD ON ME, THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THERE WERE TWO FAULTY TOYOTA PARTS THAT FAILED ME AND MY UNBORM CHILD THAT DAY-THE BRAKES AND THE AIRBAGS. I GET TO HAVE SURGERY 10/28/11 TO REMOVE THE NOW NONVIABLE CHILD FROM MY WOMB. I EQUATE THIS LOSS TO THE FAILURES ON TOYOTA'S PART. *TT
