| Vehicle skid control locks up front wheel at low speeds and makes it impossible to clear intersection. objects and passengers are violently thrown forward. dealer has been unsuccessful in resolving this dangerous condition, even after i paid to replace the yaw sensor, the warning lights for abs and vsc came on the way home after repair. this problem had been discussed for years on the ih8mud land cruiser enthusiast site. some owners report wheels locking up at highway speeds putting vehicle in danger of rollover accident. *tr | |||

| In the past few weeks i have encountered a situation which i feel is quite dangerous. the following has happened on four occasions while on highways and interstates. what occurs is that i will be driving on a highway at about 65-70 miles/hr when suddenly the transmission shifts into a much lower gear. i am not sure which gear it is, but it is into a very low gear. two things happen. the car suddenly slows down rapidly without the brake lights coming on which causes the car behind me to come close to rear-ending me. but a worse situation is that the sudden drop into a low gear causes the car to suddenly dodge to the right - i assume because of the enormous torque generated by this shift that occurs without the engine slowing down first. this has occurred twice on interstates and twice on two lane highways, always at high speeds between 65 and 70 mph. when this happened last week on a two lane highway, the car dodged to the right. to keep from going down an embankment i steered hard to the left and over steered a little, almost hitting a motorcycle in the oncoming lane. on two of the occasions, about a half-hour before the car did this, i was driving with the cruise control on at about 65 mph and the cruise control went off by itself for no reason. i took the car to a aaa designated transmission shop yesterday. they took it for a test drive and ran a scan but found nothing. they thought it would be in the cruise control or electronics or sensors.*jb | |||

| On 8/14/10 at approximately 6 pm, i was traveling with my family southbound on interstate 5-freeway in north los angeles county (city of valencia) when an audible dash alarm and several dash panel lights lit up on my dash panel. shortly after this occurred, i lost all power assit in my braking system and was forced to use both extreme foot pressure on the brake pedel and the hand brake to bring my car to a stop. i would classify this as a catostrophic failure of the braking system. the car was towed to a toyota dealership, where the problem was diagnosed as a failure of the abs actuator system. cost to repair exceeded $2700. toyota customer care was notified - an attempt to obtain good-wiill repair based on the circumstances of the problem was denied by toyota. toyota has not offered any response to me regarding the system failure and the extreme danger that my family and myself were exposed to. based on internet research, this same problem has been reported by other toyota landcruiser owners, and toyota has been notified in each case and chosen to do nothing to investigate the reported failure. this type of catostrophic failure of a braking system has the potential to cause fatal accidents and should be investigated by toyota and the nhtsa. the lack of any type of fail-safe system that would provide braking back-up represents a serious design flaw in this model landcruiser. toyota needs to develop a fix for this problem and a recall notice should be sent out to owners for all landcruiser models for which this design flaw exists. | |||
