I was pulling out from a stop sign to cross a four lane intersection. I attempted to pass between two cars, but the emergency brake system activated, presumably because the first car was still in front of me, even though it would have well passed by the time I got there. Because of the emergency braking, I was left stuck across two lanes of traffic with cars coming toward me and no way to get out of the way. This has happened twice in 800 miles on the car. I live on a very busy intersection and it took me a couple of months to get comfortable driving in this congestion. I think the car simply isn't designed for that level of traffic, but the way that it's reacting is terrifying. Consumer stated issue continues to occur even when the pre-collision system is disabled.

multiple times PCS (pre-collision warning system) would go off only in city driving when i was passing a car that had turned right (and just completing turn)-approximately 45 degrees to from right of my car. The dealer said my car needed front wheel alignment and said that had been the problem. Using the computer analysis system and since i was not getting a warning light saying PCS was not working, i was told it was fine. On a recently completed road trip out of town, at 70 miles an hour, PCS through us into hard break due to a car that had just entered exit ramp-45 degrees to my car. Almost caused multicar incident. Can not get further help from dealership since computer analysis not showing issue and no response from Toyoto NA. Have since just turned system fully off.
