1. I was driving home from work and was on the highway. The cars in front of me came to an abrupt stop, causing me to slam my breaks while I was doing 40-ish. 2. This caused the car to bake stumble as the breaks slowed the car, then came lose causing the car to lunge forward, then momentarily brake, then lose braking again. This caused me to almost slam in to the car in front of me. 3. I have not taken corrective action as this should addressed by toyota as there are many many people describing the same issue.
