NHTSA Complaint #10816181 — 2012 TOYOTA TACOMA

BRAKES ON VEHICLE LOCK-UP AND ARE OVERLY SENSITIVE. ON MANY OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING ON WET PAVEMENT AT SLOWS SPEEDS THE ABS ENGAGED AND LOCKED THE BRAKES WITH ONLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. ON ONE OCCASION WHEN DRIVING AT 10-15 MPH IN A PARKING LOT IN SNOW, A LIGHT TOUCH TO THE BRAKE LOCKED UP THE BRAKES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNSTABLE AND CRASH. I HAVE HAD FOUR OTHER TOYOTA TRUCKS, THREE OF THEM TACOMAS AND NONE OF THEM HAD THIS BRAKING ISSUE. BARELY PRESSING THE BRAKES SHOULDN'T CAUSE THEM TO LOCK UP WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BECOME VERY UNSTABLE. LUCKILY IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN AT LOW SPEEDS. IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNDRIVABLE.
