On [XXX] I was driving in Connecticut when I realized we had taken the wrong directions. We were following my son’s girlfriend’s iphone which kept changing the directions. When we ended up with an over pass in a parking area I applied my brakes but the brakes didn’t work. I was trying to go left to take an alternate road but couldn’t stop.
Automatic breaking systems - I have had several problems with the breaking systems in this truck going off without anything around my truck. I had an injury due to the brake coming on without warning. I will upload reports turned into toyota. They have had recalls on this that they stated they fixed. With in a week the truck was back to auto braking in parking lots and on the road with no vehicles or obstructions around.
