2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser brakes complaints

As I approached a red light in my 2010 fj cruiser the brakes seemed to have a mind of their own in that when I depressed the brake the vehicle would lunge forward and stop repeatedly I narrowly avoided rear ending the vehicle in front of me. I have read about this being a problem for other fj owners on an internet forum and it appears to be a problem with the ABS.
Driving a new 2010 toyota fj cruiser with approximately 600 miles on the odometer. Moderate rain. When turning off a paved roadway onto a flat, wet, and muddy surface I had the experience of total momentary brake failure. This occurred as my left front tire left the road surface and hit the slick mud. My speed was under 20 MPH and I was able to regain braking power by releasing the brake and then re-applying it. My assumption at the time was it was the result of some kind of weird ABS behavior. I was applying the brakes very lightly to gradually slow my vehicle. The brakes behaved normally until the first tire hit the slick muddy surface. Somehow the system caused all 4 wheels to lose all braking power.
My car is a 2010 toyota fj cruiser which I purchased in october 2009. The brakes didn't stop the car as expected in two occasions, at about 7000 miles the first time, and then a month later again. In the first occurrence, I was driving at around 25 MPH on wet asphalt coming to a traffic light. I pushed the brakes to stop but the car continued to roll and I went into the intersection. The second time I was driving at around 40mph, again on wet asphalt. I drove over a grate on a bridge and pushed the brakes, and the car did the same thing, it didn't slow down as I expected, instead it kept going. If the car in front of me had been closer I would have hit it. There's no vibration characteristic of the ABS, instead it simply feels as if the brakes stop braking. In both cases I pulled the handbrake because of my instinctive reaction to try to stop the car. I've been driving several cars over 15 years and this has never happened to me before. I took the car to toyota the first time and they had it for a whole weekend and told me they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Further, this problem seems to be happening to many other fj owners, see http://tiny.cc/eabja.
Just bought the new fj cruiser 2010 and got ABS brake problem. Everytime I hit a bump the ABS get active and the vehicle doesn't slow down . I get very close to hit someone at the back because of that. Now I am getting nervous everytime I see a bump, can't imagine what I will do on slippery surface.
Abs brakes release if one wheel locks. Went into the intersection without brakes 2x.
Brakes didn't seem to work (the auto kept going when the brakes were applied) until I let off the pedal and pushed them again. I passed over a manhole cover as the failure occurred. I have only had one instance of this happening so far, but it scared the '!@#$%out of me. As there was a car stopped in front of me.
