I was going about 15 mph when i applied the brakes to stop at the end of my street, nothing happened, my foot went all the way to the floor.

I lease a 2011 toyota rav 4 and my car accelerated uncontrollably into another car. I was inching out of a parking spot very slowly in reverse, when i noticed a man to my right, two spots away from me, pulling out head first. I depressed my brake pedal in order to let him go and the moment i did that, i literally flew back into this man's car with such a force that i would have most definitely run somebody over if…

2011 toyota rav4 brakes have not much stopping power. Brake pedal has to be pressed very hard. At low speed around 5-10 mph, the front brakes make grinding noise. Car was at the dealership three times, mechanic test drove car, heard the noise and said could not find anything wrong with the brakes. The braking power of rav4 is significantly less than the other cars. Brake filling and performance is inconsistent. When…

While driving at speed the vehicle's stability, antilock brakes and traction control functions stop functioning and the indicator light for all turn on. The cruise control disengages which caused the car to decelerate rapidly. I was in traffic and was able to accelerate to avoid an accident. The accelerator and braking appear to work properly but i am unable to reengage the cruise control. This is exactly the same…

Brake pedal will depress almost to the floor allowing the possibility of accidentally pushing the gas pedal while attempting to stop. This incident involved a slow speed crash on an icy road when the vehicle continued forward no matter how hard the brake was applied. The vehicle now has 26,000 highway miles and i experienced total loss of brakes, pedal to the floor, while driving in the mountains. *tr

I was approaching a traffic light in low speed and lightening my pressure on the gas pedal when the car accelerated and lurched forward. I pressed my foot on the brake pedal and the car continued accelerating. I had to veer to the adjacent lane since i was getting too close to the car in front of me. Then, the car came to a halt. *tr

I experienced a sudden vehicle acceleration event on april 6th. I followed toyota's investigation procedure and even met with a technical expert and we agree on the following points: the event would have shown up as two separate events in the abs history queue. An initial vsc event (sudden acceleration) closely followed by the abs event (my pressing on the brake pedal harder in response to the sudden acceleration)…

My problem is that my dress shoes and recreation boots are getting caught on the brake pedal when i swivel from the gas to the brake pedal. On multiple occasions, i came close to serious accidents. I avoided the accidents by quickly sliding my right foot to the right and completely lifting my foot up and over to the…

There is in adequate spacing between the accelrator and the brakes on this vehicle. I drive 80 miles a day, and i have to angle so that i don't hit the top of the break when lifting it off the accelerator. This is very dangerous. Also, the brakes don't work that well, they're not stable. *tr
