What owners wrote
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.
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.
