The truck was new to me and had slap shifter so when I moved it for neutral it had to be pushed over and up. I just went over and with little time and busy intersection and children.

My vehicle began to display the vsc (vehicle stability control) light, constantly on, last week when I turned it on. Several days later the brake light and ABS light also became constantly on. I decided to take it to the nearest toyota dealer and they stated that the vehicle is giving the following codes: c1203 - ECM communication circuit c1232 - deceleration sensor c1336 - zero point calibration of deceleration sensor undone the service manager told me that they were going to try to re-flash the computer and calibrate affected items but if it wasn't possible that the sensor assembly, yaw sensor was bad and needed replacement, totaling $1305. 2 hours later he called me back to tell me that they couldn't re-flash the computer and that the issue is not the sensor assembly, yaw sensor but the ABS actuator assembly, totaling over $2700. I'm reporting this since I've seen a bunch of similar cases but nothing concrete from toyota. I really don't know if this issue is un-safe or not since there are no physical symptoms except not having ABS nor traction control.

While driving after braking the truck the vehicle developed a severe vibration throughout the truck. It felt like a loose wheel. After having it to the dealer on two occasions I discovered that the rear brakes had become somewhat frozen in the brake shoe bracket. The pad bracket is made from a metal that road salt blisters and it becomes very rough not letting the brake particularly the inner pad to retract. The shoe is difficult to remove from the bracket and the bracket has to be wired brushed and sanded so that the brake pad can glide easily. Two of my sons also have toyota tundra trucks one is a 2010 and the other is a 2014 and have both experienced this same problem and they also had to remove the brakes and sand the bracket. This locking of the pad also ruins the pads causing premature wear and also ruins the inner surface of the rotor. This is dangerous because of the braking ability and the premature wear of the rotor and brake pads.

In slow moving traffic, repetitive light gas and light braking. Noticed the brake becoming difficult to depress. Had my left foot stationary on the foot pad, right foot over the brake while rolling forward. Started to drop my right foot on brake as vehicle slowed in front of me and engine suddenly accelerated rapidly as if to full throttle. Pressed on the brake as hard as I could, engine redlined and rear tires started spinning. Popped it in neutral and within a second the engine stopped accelerating out of control. Floor mats were not interfering with any pedals on my immediate inspection after incident. Incident caught on dash/windshield camera.
