Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving home from work pulled up to stop light with many other cars the light turned green and i got up to 20 mph and the brakes kicked on slowing me down to almost a stop, and creating a loud noise. the car behind hit me, but did not cause any damage. he said i had no brake lights. it will only go 15 mph before the vehicle traction control went on and stopped the car. there was no warning. the dealer said there was a technical service bulletin in for the problem. i think toyota should fix this in a recall because it could cause serious injury , especially since it was the traction control system which activated for no reason and no brake lights went on. *ak
