Narrative

While operating my 2024 Toyota bZ4X at very low speed on the road , I observed a stationary shipping container directly ahead and applied the brake pedal with maximum force approximately 4 seconds before contact. I held the brake pedal at full pressure continuously. I never touched the accelerator. The vehicle came to what appeared to be a complete stop then continued to advance and made physical contact with the container despite my maintained maximum brake input. The vehicle's own ECU-recorded Freeze Frame Data (retrieved by an authorized Toyota dealer using PCS Data Viewer) confirms the following at the time of the event: Driver brake pedal torque was at sensor saturation (4,048 Nm — the maximum value the sensor can record) for approximately 1.75 seconds prior to impact. Brake hydraulic line pressure peaked at 12.144 MPa and remained above 7.8 MPa throughout that period. Throttle position was 0.0% for the entire recorded interval. All four wheel-speed sensors recorded 0.00 km/h for approximately 2.95 seconds prior to impact. Steering input was effectively neutral; no skid or loss of directional control occurred. The longitudinal accelerometer recorded a peak deceleration spike of -8.97 m/s² at the moment of impact — a value that requires forward velocity and is physically inconsistent with the wheel-speed data showing the vehicle stopped. The Pre-Collision System (PCS) main switch was ON throughout, with no faults, no obstruction flags, and no warning, pre-brake, brake-a
