Toyota Tacoma Service Brakes Safety Report | Dec 20, 2013
Reported on Dec 20, 2013
| THE VEHICLE HAS EXTREMELY GRABBY BRAKES AND I FEEL THAT THEY CONTRIBUTED TO THE LOSS OF CONTROL I EXPERIENCED ON SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACES. AS I ATTEMPTED TO GENTLY SLOW DOWN BY APPLYING THE BRAKES I LOST THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CONTROL. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NOT FAVORABLE, BUT I HAVE DRIVEN MAY OTHER VEHICLES IN MUCH WORSE CONDITIONS WITHOUT EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT PROBABILITY OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN GREATLY REDUCED IF THE BRAKES WERE NOT GRABBY. | |
