Parang nasayang lakad ko, wala silang maibigay na sagot.

Document mo na lang sir yung proof that you raised the issue you encountered with Toyota. Para kung may mangyari may ebidensya ka na matagal mo nang naireklamo.

Toyota, despite being a trusted company, can also handle real issues in a shady manner. As what we can read from the news below.

Since it was brand new I have this obsessive need to maintain it. Here's V after 8 months...

Billy, ikaw yung nag pa paint protection di ba? Ganda pa din, the paint protection is really holding up. Plano ko sana mag pa PPP din dati nung nag post ka, kaya lang malayo sa amin.

8 months? So mga July mo nakuha unit mo, batchmate pala vios natin.

Sadly, this has happened to me as well but our circumstances are different...

Yesterday, I had just pulled into our garage, which is inclined and already had our other car parked inside. I had to move forward a few inches more because the gate wouldn't close but I had forgotten that the engine was already off. I put my foot on the brake, shifted to Reverse, and released the hand brake. As I was rolling down the garage, the fear took over as I tried to pump the brake but it wouldn't budge. It was locked at its current position. I only realized the engine was off when I hit the bottom of the incline. Good thing there were no incoming cars or people passing by otherwise for sure I'd be in deep sh*t. The bad thing is that the underneath of my chin now has scratches because it scraped the road as I reached the bottom...

I don't know if I can replicate it, and I don't think I want to try.

Another odd thing is that since it happened, while driving, I feel like sometimes the brake engages itself even if I'm not stepping on it. Meaning, I can be at running at 60Kph and then all of a sudden feel like the car is braking even if I'm not stepping on the brake pedal.

Needless to say, I will be visiting the CASA on Monday to get my car checked...

Will raise the issue again sa 5k PMS ko in a couple of weeks and have them document the tests done.

Sir ang alam ko mag lock talaga ang brake pedals when you pump it while the engine is OFF. Tested our Grandia and Corolla, both MT - talagang disengaged ang brake mechanism pag patay engine.

Yung sa AT vios ko naman alarming kasi nag lock yung brake while the engine is ON during reverse parking. Nung march 9 pa to nang yari, di pa naman umuulit. Im still testing it though & being extra cautious parin, naka ready nko mag hand brake lagi just in case.

Yung sinasabi mo na parang the brake engages while driving di ko pa na experience. That is pretty scary. Pa check mo na. Pag di lumabas sa test drive nila yung issue, malamang sabihan ka din nila na mag observe. Kung sure ka sa sinasabi mo na parang pumepreno while accelerating I think dapat iwan mo sa casa at ipabaklas brake system mo, kelangan nila hanapin asap yung tinutukoy mo, di yan safe sa iyo, pasahero mo, at sa ibang motorista

1.3AT vios ko sir. Yes nakakatakot talaga! Yun na nga sinasabi ko sa casa, kaso di nila nakita sa test drive, so akala ata nila imagination ko lang yun. Kapag umulit yung issue ko papabaklas ko na siguro sa kanila. Pero sana wag na umulit!

^ sir yung experience ko naka R ako. Kasalukuyang umaatras yung auto habang inaayos ang pag parada, so nakaalalay ako sa brake. Biglang nag lock yung brake pedal - tuloy ang pag atras nang auto. Handbrake tas engine off nalang ako. Pag restart ko normal na ulit, buti patag yung pinaparadahan ko nung nangyare
