Auto Emergency Braking has gotten extremely dangerous and locking breaks when nothing is in front of me. Always while in cruise control mode. On long extended highways, the truck will randomly slam on the brakes and skid the back tires. It has happened 6 times now. This most recent one made us slide into the next lane and I had to turn the truck into a field (~20mph) after the truck brakes went off. To avoid on coming traffic. There was a car turning around half a mile ahead and was nowhere close. Additionally, a severe issue of premature rust and degradation is occurring on the truck. 13,000 miles and the bottom looks like it's been on the road for several years.
I PURCHASED A NEW 2021 TOYOTA TACOMA IN DECEMBER 2021 WITH A PRE COLLISION SAFETY SYSTEM. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER, MY DAUGHTER WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION ACCIDENT (DAUGHTER AT FAULT). THE SYSTEM DID NOT DO WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO, WHICH WAS WARN HER AND HELP HER APPLY THE BRAKE. AT THE REPAIR CENTER, I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE PRE COLLISION SAFETY SYSTEM. THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BERT OGDEN TOYOTA TO HAVE THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT. THEY TOLD ME THE SYSTEM WAS PROBABLY OFF OR NOT SET SENSITIVE ENOUGH AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. NOW THAT I HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK, I HAVE SET THE PRE COLLISION SYSTEM TO THE MOST SENSITIVE SETTING AND IT APPEARS IT IS NOT WORKING. THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED TO WARN ME (ON THE MOST SENSITIVE SETTING) AS I ACCELERATED TOWARD A BRAKING CAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO TOYOTA OF PHARR AND SPOKE TO A SALESMAN, WHO TOLD ME ALL OF MY SETTINGS WERE CORRECT AND IT SHOULD BE WORKING. THOUGH THIS FAILURE WAS MINOR IN MY DAUGHTER'S CASE WITH NO ONE HURT (THOUGH IT DID COST $7,000 TO REPAIR), THIS SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AS ADVERTISED AND IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.
