Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Whenever i applied the brake pedal at low speeds between 1-30 mph as approaching an intersection, a stop sign or an immediate brake the transmission switches gears, and the rpms increased. the brake pedal depressed all the way to the floor and the car jolted forward, and did not stop until the brakes were applied again. fortunately, i have not had an accident. others have. i have had the defective brake problem since i bought the car new in 2004. i had the dealer's repair technicians drive the car on multiple occasions, they said they were not able to recreate the problem. this was not how anti-lock brakes were supposed to work. toyota needed to research this defect thoroughly and announce a recall before others get hurt or killed.*ak
