Consumer Description
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATING WHILE I'M PRESSING THE BRAKES. SPECIFICALLY, THIS APPEARS TO OCCUR WHEN BRAKING ON UNEVEN SURFACES (IE CONSTRUCTION AREAS, POT HOLES, ETC.). THIS CAN OBVIOUSLY BECOME A DEADLY SITUATION IF ONE IS TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND WITH THIS PROBLEM RUN INTO THE CAR/VEHICLE AHEAD. MOST RECENTLY THIS OCCURRED ON THE SURFACE STREETS IN LOW SPEED, IN TRAFFIC. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR LURCHES AHEAD WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT TOYOTA THAT I WAS MAKING THIS UP. I CAN RECREATE IT GIVEN THE RIGHT SURFACE. *TR
