NOOOOOOOOOOO!
 

i was on my way back home from work, took a turn at about 25 and the brake calipers didnt feel like they were making full contact. So i hit the brake pedal to the floor and the abs did not go on. My car went horizontal at that moment and then it hit a rock wall, all the damage is in the rear right quarter panel and it is in the shop right now being checked out. The worst thing is that i told Toyota that the brake failed once before, when i first got the car the pedal felt different than what it usually felt like. So now im waiting.:thumbdown:......my bad on the vertical thing i meant horizontal, i was frustrated whale writhing this.

Much like facebook, currently really need a "dislike" button! Sorry to hear that. I hope they get it all fixed quickly.

wow that seriously sucks! sorry to hear

The car went verticle? Please explain.

prob he meant side way?

What?

That's what I was thinking

By chance do you mean it went horizontal?

Optimus Vertical?

Yeah... So OP flipped his car at 25?

Once upon a time a WRX owner's turbo spooled @ 12 mph and caused him to slide through an Expedition and into a house...:bellyroll:

I no speak engrish, I no no what i read.

:iono:

That's the visual we have been missing lol!

LOL at the picture. Sorry to here about you're car :(

I sea what you did their.

I remember this!!

I would have used a different smiley for that :slap:

So... Oversteer followed by you slamming on the brakes, which won't help correct the steer anyways?

Uh oh.

Sorry to here that... I hope nothing happened to you during the incident... I hoping the dealer will covered all the repair?

Have there been and other brake issues reported by scion/Toyota/Subaru?

Are you saying you thought the brakes didn't work so you slammed on them in the middle of a 25 mph turn and spun out into a rock wall?

Brake failure or driver failure? Place your bets ladies and gentlemen.

Was there a crub and two fents involved? How about some bricks or burshes?

But seriously, that sucks to hear.

That definitely sucks if one of your brake calipers stopped working but why would you slam on your brakes if you knew something was wrong with them? If you had been more gentle with them, you likely wouldn't have spun. But that's kind of weird if there was no brake light warning and that the ESC couldn't make up for it (unless it turned itself off or perhaps you turned it off?) Still, was there no warning light?

:lol:

lift throttle oversteer?

that is what i have been trying to look up.

i am a little confused...did you lose brakes before going into the corner at 25, were you braking mid corner or did you need to stop right after making the turn? i am assuming you were braking while going through the corner at 25...if so were you braking because you were already sliding? if so that could explain the no ABS...tires stopped moving even if car didnt. Had you been driving hard prior to this incident and possibly had brake fade (ive had this happen at the track) or was it on cool brakes?

So all you did was let completely off the accelerator and then slammed the brakes mid-turn, right? You didn't do anything more like slathering armor all or crisco on the tread of your tires, did you?

I can't see hoe this accident could be avoided. I believe you have a strong legal case against Toyota, Subaru and their component suppliers for the braking components including and especially the brake pedal.

Seek legal counsel immediately before making any statements to insurance. I think you may also have suffered severe soft tissue injury.

Clearly, it was the fault of the 151 t0rks. He could have dead, that was a close call!

wut

Who let OT in to general?

This thread has has the funniest posts for a serious matter lol... anybody else have issues with the brakes?

My car goes horizontal all of the time.

Usually involves smoke too
