| I was driving a 2001 toyota 4runner on a 2 lane mountain highway a couple years ago. wintertime, wet road. going 50 mph around a wide right turn, the anti-skid brake system suddenly screeched at me, and apparently applied the brakes on the left side of the car, causing it to swerve left towards the opposing lane of traffic. i managed to correct, and avoid an accident. i went with my friend whose car it was to the dealer later and described the occurrence. the dealer claimed that one of the tires was low. i never trust anti-skid brake systems since this occurrence. this kind of response is completely unacceptable. that same car also had a firmware glitch in the 4 wheel system that would cause the 4 wheel not to be disabled until you pulled over and shut off the engine for a bit, on an unfrequented basis. *tr | |||
