Toyota said Thursday that a software problem is causing problems with the brakes, although it has yet to announce a recall while it studies the problem further.

It scares me that a piece of computer hardware/software could affect a car's braking ability. It wasn't always like this.

Take it from me, when you crash high-end vehicles into other cars and walls, they stop working well. Sensors all get f*cked up and the computer in your car itself just goes beserk and doesn't want to let the car drive. Not good.

The dealer was showing me how to switch all the systems off so in real weird driving conditions (stuck in grass, mud etc, ) you can switch the traction control(DTC) off so the systems won't fight each other.
