Something strange happened today
#1
I was on my way home from work like I do every day since I had Yaris. As usual I was waiting for green light to turn left in to a street. I pushed the pedal, turned steering wheel for about 1/4 of a turn but my car went almost strait ahead and almost hit the sidewalk. As i was going slower than 10mph i turned steering wheel as much as I could and the VSC system turned on to stabilize the car (and it did that very well). What was that all about? I had my windows opened. I heard no wheel squeaking, or anything like that and I'm absolutely sure I wasn't pressing gas pedal to much. #2 As I was coming close to my home, I pushed the pedal to the floor and car accelerated like usual. But I did that for only a second or two (speed was around 50kph). After that I pushed the brake pedal, but the car wouldn't stop. I pushed harder and ABS kicked in and it took a long time to stop. In both cases, the road was clean and it was a warm and sunny day. Tire pressure is ok. What's going on? Brakes are working fine as far as I can tell (no funny sounds, no funny feeling, and VSC did an excellent job). What about tires? Are front Yokohama E70 giving up after only 15000km? Am I missing something?
