    Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip

    2010 toyota 4runner. Larger suv so i thought loss of control in the snow twice was due to weight increase to new vehicle. Be more careful. But in the last two weeks i have had the front brakes lock up twice on dry pavement. This was not emergency braking but harder than normal. There was no pulsing of brakes as there should be for anti-lock systems. Contacted dealer and will take the suv to the shop next week. *tr

    Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip

    I have a 1999 toyota 4runner that has the same problem with the abs as is being reported for the 2010 prius, only worse. When the abs kicks in on slick or uneven surfaces, the vehicle goes into a freely-floating mode for 5+ seconds. There is no braking capacity at all during that time and steering is difficult. The vehicle is completely out of control during that time. I have had multiple near-misses which would…

    This complaint concerns the new 2010 toyota 4runner. There is an issue with the braking system and handling for this vehicle. Upon depressing the brakes, the pedal travels a considerable distance sounds squeaky and notchy and delays in stopping. The anti-lock brakes do not interact quickly and often times engaged at the very end of the brake distance and creates a very uncomfortable and unsettling feeling. The…

    Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip · Service Brakes, Hydraulic

    Anti-lock brakes too sensitive. Under certain conditions, especially if i hit a bump while braking or if the road is wet, the abs kicks in and the vehicle loses braking power (while brake calipers oscillate violently) thereby drastically increasing the stopping distance. I've recently experienced the vehicle stopping from 35 mph in over 200 feet. I wound up in the middle of the intersection. This problem has become…

    Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip

    While driving down the freeway traffic started to slow. I applied pressure to the brakes but nothing happened. There was a loud clicking noise in the braking system and the car seemed to lurch forward. The car is now totaled. The same problem occurred a month before and my wife has experienced the problem as well. *jb
