I was coming to an intersection where two cars were waiting for a right turn. I pressed on the brakes and nothing happened. The car continued to move without slowing down. The brakes felt "blocked" and unresponsive. I engaged the manual break at the last moment and that slowed me down. But I still hit the car in front of me which in turn hit another car in front of it. The police report says "following too close". But I was not following other cars. The two cars were already at the intersection. I was just coming to this intersection and attempted to slow down as usual. Except that the brakes did not respond. My car was a total loss.

CAR IN TWO ACCIDENTS OVER TWO YEARS BODY WAS NOT PROPERLY WELDED BACK TO THE FRAME! BRAKES WERE NOT PROPERLY REALIGNED NEITHER WAS THE STEERING COLUMN TRANSMISSION BANDS WERE NOT OPERATING AND WOULD NOT SHIFT AND NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS FOR LEAKAGE FROM BRAKE LINES TO TRANSMISSION LINES ALL LINES WERE BROKEN AND SO ARE THE SEALS ON THEM!

THE BRAKES SEEM TO DISENGAGE FOR A SECOND AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE PRESSING ON THEM IN A NORMAL MANOR. I DRIVE EVERY DAY ABUT 20 MILES AND THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS TO TRY AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. DURING THAT INCIDENT THEY DISENGAGED FOR A SECOND AGAIN. THIS WAS A SECOND TOO LONG AND I WAS UNABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION. I LOOKED THIS UP AFTER MY ACCIDENT AND I SURPRISINGLY SAW SIMILAR REPORTS ON GOOGLE FOR MY CAR. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA IS SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T AFFECT MY VIN NUMBER? I'M HERE TO SAY THAT IT DOES.
