What owners wrote
While returning home on nov.19, 2009 there was fresh snow and cold temperatures. Approaching an intersection, a garbage truck failed to yield the right of way. I applied the brakes on my 2008 scion xd and they locked, the ABS failed to activate. This resulted in an injury accident. After the car was in the body shop I contacted toyota safety department and the sent a rep to inspect the car, he reported no problem w/ the brakes.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota scion xd. The contact stated that the anti lock brake would engage independently with the illumination of the brake lights when the contact had engaged the brakes even on dry pavement. The failure was intermittent and would recur while driving at any speed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was told that a sensor within the rear wheel hubs failed. The vehicle was has not been repaired. Updated 4/11/2011 updated 04/22/11
