NHTSA Complaint #10307789 — 2001 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

I WAS DRIVING A 2001 TOYOTA 4RUNNER ON A 2 LANE MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY A COUPLE YEARS AGO. WINTERTIME, WET ROAD. GOING 50 MPH AROUND A WIDE RIGHT TURN, THE ANTI-SKID BRAKE SYSTEM SUDDENLY SCREECHED AT ME, AND APPARENTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR, CAUSING IT TO SWERVE LEFT TOWARDS THE OPPOSING LANE OF TRAFFIC. I MANAGED TO CORRECT, AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I WENT WITH MY FRIEND WHOSE CAR IT WAS TO THE DEALER LATER AND DESCRIBED THE OCCURRENCE. THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT ONE OF THE TIRES WAS LOW. I NEVER TRUST ANTI-SKID BRAKE SYSTEMS SINCE THIS OCCURRENCE. THIS KIND OF RESPONSE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THAT SAME CAR ALSO HAD A FIRMWARE GLITCH IN THE 4 WHEEL SYSTEM THAT WOULD CAUSE THE 4 WHEEL NOT TO BE DISABLED UNTIL YOU PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE FOR A BIT, ON AN UNFREQUENTED BASIS. *TR
