tC

  • 12,000 miles
I have a 2009 Toyota Scion Tc which I am very afraid to drive but it is not on the recall list but I am having major problems with the brakes(ABS tracking system). I have had 3 very close calls as a result of my brakes locking up(going slow) and unable to stop, even after I take my foot off the brake they remain locked. One incident I almost went right into a busy 4 lane highway. It has happened on dry roads and wet roads are a lot worse, I have to start stopping a lot sooner than one should. I am very stressed when having to drive my vehicle anymore. Another issue which only happened once and was when I was driving slow it felt like my vehicle accelerated without applying any acceleration. I have a stick and I find myself unsure which gear to be in when the roads are wet because at times I feel like I am driving on glass and have to shift to higher gear as if there is too much power causing me to feel like I do not have full control of my car and that I am actually driving on glass and the roads may only be wet.
