This is the fourth incident, and the fourth time I have brought it to the dealer who cannot find or duplicate the issue. I hit the brakes, and instead of slowing or stopping the car, the car accelerates. One time, it damaged a tire, this time it happened while merging on a highway and nearly caused a dangerous collision. This last incident, I was traveling around 30 MPH. The two times before, I had been attempting to come to a stop from 25-30 MPH, and the first time I had been traveling between 30-35 MPH when I attempted to break to avoid another vehicle switching lanes. Toyota didn't even bother to find out what was wrong.

Abs and brake lights intermittently come and stay on. Manual transmission xd. Abs/brake lights come on both at highway and city speeds, stay on for hours, then go off, then come back on for a few days, then go back off. Sometimes the ABS/brake lights come on when I start the car, then eventually go off, sometimes they come on while driving and go off the next day or so. Temperatures are cool and wet (40 degree f) over the past few weeks. Abs does not engage while driving, but does not engage properly while ABS/brake lights are on and during braking. When ABS/brake lights are off, all braking is normal. Brakes and assemblies are not worn out, brake fluid level is spot on.

My ABS and brake lights came on while I was driving on a residential road. Went to the nearest toyota dealership, where they told me that my ABS sensor was no longer working in the left tire. They replaced the sensor. 6 months had passed and the light came on again for a few days then went off. This scenario played out for the next several years, more so in colder months. The reason it was not repaired was because the cost was too high to fix. Starting in october 2013 the ABS and brake lights came on and have not come off since then. I recently brought the car to a mechanic (august 26, 2014) where they took a look at the issue. It was discovered that both my front tire ABS systems were not working and the cost to replace both systems was $1,100.
