I HAD TO REALLY STOMP ON THE BRAKES TO GET THEM TO GRAB AND/OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. DEALER EXAMINED THE BRAKES AN FOUND NOTHING WRONG. BRAKES STILL DON'T FEEL NORMAL LIKE OTHER CARS; THEY SEEM OK, BUT BELOW AVERAGE. I'M STILL VERY CONCERNED OVER THE BRAKING ABILITY ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA AND WISH A INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF THERE IS A LINK TO ACCELERATOR/ELECTRONIC PROBLEM. FLOOR MAT WAS NOT AN ISSUE AT THE TIME. *TR

MOVING VERY SLOWLY DOWNHILL ON A SNOW-COVERED DRIVEWAY. DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL, BUT ABS FAILED TO ENGAGE. BRAKES LOCKED-UP INSTANTLY, CAUSING AN APPROXIMATELY 200FT SLIDE, HITTING UTILITY POLE AND GUARD RAIL. ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER, BRAKES LOCKED AGAIN (ABS FAILED TO ENGAGE), BUT I WAS READY FOR IT AND IMMEDIATELY LET OFF AND REAPPLIED PRESSURE. THIS TIME ABS DID ENGAGE. I HAVE SINCE TESTED THE BRAKES ON SLICK SURFACES IN SAFE ZONES. ONLY THREE TIMES DID ABS FAIL, AND THE TWO TIMES THAT I LET OFF AND RE-APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE ABS ENGAGED AT THAT POINT IN TIME. EACH TIME THE ABS FAILED, IT WAS WHILE MOVING DOWNHILL. THE ISSUE FOR ME IS THAT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REACT WHEN BRAKING IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS: DO I PUMP THE BRAKES AS FOR W/O ABS, OR STEADILY HOLD BRAKES AS ONE WOULD WITH FUNCTIONING ABS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE (2007 TOYOTA TACOMA) TO DEALER, BUT THEY SAID BRAKES LOOKED OK. *TR

I REQUESTED HIM TO PUT THAT IN WRITING AND HE WAS NOT WILLING TO DO SO. WE REQUESTED STATEFARM CLAIM ADJUSTER TO FILE THE CLAIM TO TOYOTA'S CLAIM DEPARTMENT AND THEY SENT LETTER. *TR
