Description of the problem	I am writing this for my brother who is the legal owner of the vehicle. (2006 toyota avalon) he had regular maintenance at laurel carmax toyota on july 30th,2009. (including brake and fluid change) in sepetember 7th, he was driving on the road and the brake light turned on. He immediately lost brake and tried to pull over the road in order to stop the car. He took his car to the nearby bodyshop and they found his brake fluid reservoir was empty. They refilled the fluid at the body shop. Few days later, he brought his car back to toyota dealership to request what's going on with his car. Since he just got brake/fluid change, this issue should not happen. Toyota said they need to "exam" the car first and found out the master cylinder and booster are bad with leaking. The exam cost around $270 and they will charge $1250 for repair the master cylinder and booster. The car has 39000 miles (2 years and 9 months) that is probably not covered under warranty. I just cant believe for being a 2 yrs 9 months old toyota, how can its brake system just failed like that? My brother was lucky that he was able to stop the car and didn't get hurt. I think toyota needs to do something about this issue.
